Contractor Resources
At times, tasks are performed by contractors, rather than an agency's own employees. Lucity's Work program enables users to add Contractors to Work Order Tasks, and through this relationship, track contractor time and costs.
Contractors Grid
A Work Order Task's Contractors grid lets users associate contractors with that work activity. If the corresponding Task Setup record lists default Contractors for the activity, the system automatically adds those individuals or companies to the Task's Contractors grid whenever the Task is included on a Work Order.
- If the "Populate Resources from Crew" Work Option is enabled, the system will add any Contractors attached to the Task Crew (if applicable) to the Contractors grid. (Default Crews for a Task are established in the Work Crew Setup module.)
