Now when you create an ASI, Change Order, Invoice, Punch-List Item, RFI, Submittal or To-Do, you can also reference other related documents that are also on the project. For example, if you are creating a submittal and have an RFI that is relevant to the submittal, you can add the RFI as a related item. A hyperlink for the RFI will appear on the Submittal’s Overview page and pdf export. This new feature helps with centralizing all relevant information about a specific document, so you don’t have to waste time searching.

We have streamlined adding company contacts to a project when creating or editing a contract. Now when you search in the Contractor field for a new or existing company that is not on the project, a "Not seeing the company you're looking for? Click here to add them." link will appear. Clicking the link will launch the Add New/Existing Company to Project pop up, where you can search for existing company contacts or create a new company contact as well as set the project role. The company will be auto-filled in the Contractor field after being added to the project.

Followers are great way to keep project members informed via email when a document is completed or when a project member needs access to a document that is outside of the scope of their permissions.

When a document is created, the document creator and project members in the approval chain are automatically added as followers. Now we have added the ability to set default followers, so you can automatically add any project member to new documents.

This update applies to ASIs, Change Orders, Invoices, Owner Invoices, Pay Apps, RFIs and Submittals.

We have added a People tab in company contacts to show you which people are associated with company contact.

We have updated Contacts to include a new Companies page, which eliminates the clutter of having Person contacts and Company contacts mixed in the same place. This will also help you spot any duplicate company contacts.

In order to help standardize company names and eliminate any duplicates, we have also added a company search field to the New Person pop-up. Now when you create a Person contact, you will be able to search for an existing Company contact name and link the Person contact to that Company contact. If you can't find the company name when searching, a New Company option will appear in the search field so that you can create a Company contact without having to leave the form.

As a result, if you ever update the name of a Company contact, the company name will also be updated on all of the linked Person contacts as well. This will help standardize the company names listed in your contacts.

*VIEW/EDIT CONTACTS ONLY

When you add a Start and Finish date to your projects, you will see a progress bar at the top of each Project Summary page.

We've added a way for you to quickly navigate between your favorite projects. From within any project, you can now click the project name at the top to expose a drop down menu of your favorite projects so that you can quickly jump between them. You'll need to have at least one project "favorited" before this appears.

Now you can manage daily report settings across ALL projects with our global settings option. Change the time all Daily Report emails go out, whether or not you'd like to see Timesheets or weather data on Daily Reports, etc.
