What's new

Unsaved changes protection across editors — your work stays put

Navigate between screens without losing half-built configurations — a consistent save prompt now guards the editors you use most.

What it does:

• Forms Builder — get warned before leaving with unsaved form changes
• Invoices — protect line-item and aggregate edits mid-review
• Pay Rates — stop accidental loss of long pay-rate setups
• Order Activities — keep activity configurations intact when switching context
• Unified save-protection components — the same trustworthy prompt behaviour everywhere

Where you'll find it: Forms Builder, Invoices, Pay Rates, and Order Activities whenever you edit and try to navigate away.

Who benefits: Payroll admins configuring rate tiers, AP clerks building invoices, ops leads setting up order activities, and anyone who juggles multiple tabs during busy weeks.

Edit invoice line items and aggregates — precise billing without leaving the page

Tidy up invoices on the spot instead of backing out and starting over.

What it does:

• Edit line items in place — adjust quantities, rates, and descriptions without a round trip
• Edit aggregates directly — fix rolled-up totals where they appear
• Stable aggregate selector — pick the right grouping without UI glitches
• Clear delete actions — remove lines and aggregates with confidence

Where you'll find it: Invoices editor when reviewing or finalising client billing.

Who benefits: AR clerks closing month-end, project admins reconciling billed work against SOVs, and finance leads who need invoices right before they go out the door.

Payroll custom rate tiers — pay structures that match your projects

Tailor pay to the job, the client, or the agreement — not just a one-size-fits-all rate card.

What it does:

• Custom rate tiers — define pay levels tied to projects and agreements
• Configurable allowance and penalty loading rules — choose how allowances and penalties apply so calculations match your EBA rules
• Shared pay rate logic — consistent behaviour across payroll surfaces today, with a foundation for faster enhancements

Where you'll find it: Pay Rates and payroll configuration when setting up tiers and loading rules.

Who benefits: Payroll admins managing union and project-specific rates, commercial managers aligning pay with contract terms, and finance teams reducing adjustment journals after export.

Quotes and templates — Add Group where it helps

Organise quote and template line items without cluttering assemblies.

What it does:

• Add Group — group related line items for clearer client-facing quotes
• Hidden in assemblies — keeps assembly views uncluttered while groups stay available where they add value

Where you'll find it: Quotes and Templates when building or editing line-item structures.

Who benefits: Estimators structuring complex quotes, commercial managers presenting cleaner breakdowns to clients, and ops leads reusing template packs across jobs.

Job Costing — From Supplier Invoice column

Trace job costs back to the supplier invoice that created them — no spreadsheet detective work.

What it does:

• From Supplier Invoice column — see which supplier invoice a cost line came from
• One-click traceability — jump from job cost to source document for audits and dispute resolution

Where you'll find it: Job Costing views that display cost line detail.

Who benefits: Project managers tracking spend against budget, AP clerks reconciling supplier credits, and finance leads closing job P&L with confidence.

Scheduling at scale — faster planning, fewer conflicts

Plan crews and plant across busy calendars without the lag or the double-books.

What it does:

• Paginated resources + server-side search — scheduler stays responsive even with large fleets and rosters
• Windowed, cached timeline — smoother scrolling and quicker load times on long date ranges
• Sub-window allocations by date chunk — easier multi-day planning across split periods
• Double-booking signals (red) — spot and resolve conflicts instantly on the grid
• Resource grid, pattern-first per-day editor — set up repeating rosters in seconds
• Allocate without a role — keep work moving while role details are still being finalised
• Foundational scheduling engine upgrades — setting the stage for powerful new scheduling workflows

Where you'll find it: Scheduler, Resource grid, and allocation flows when planning crews and equipment.

Who benefits: Ops leads running multi-site rosters, foremen checking who's double-booked before Monday stand-up, and project managers balancing labour demand across overlapping jobs.

Form QR codes — deep-link into the mobile app

Crews scan, tap, and land on the right form — no hunting through menus on site.

What it does:

• QR codes deep-link into the mobile app — one scan opens the correct form assignment
• Hardened app association — more reliable QR-to-app handoff on iOS and Android

Where you'll find it: Forms when generating or printing QR codes for site distribution.

Who benefits: Foremen posting QR codes at site entry, HSE teams running daily pre-starts, and field crews who need the right checklist in one tap.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Fewer lost hours re-entering data: Save protection across Forms, Invoices, Pay Rates, and Order Activities means payroll admins and AP clerks stop rebuilding work after an accidental click away.
• Invoices out the door faster: In-place line-item and aggregate editing cuts the back-and-forth between draft and sent — critical when SOV milestones drive cash flow.
• Pay runs that match the job: Custom rate tiers and configurable allowance and penalty loading rules align calculations with project agreements and EBA rules, reducing exceptions before export.
• Scheduling without the spreadsheet workaround: Paginated search, windowed timelines, and red conflict signals let ops teams plan at scale instead of maintaining a shadow roster in Excel.
• Job costs you can defend: The From Supplier Invoice column gives PMs and finance a direct audit trail from job P&L back to AP — essential when disputing credits or closing out a project.
• Site capture that actually gets used: QR deep-links mean crews open the right form the first time, improving compliance data without chasing paper checklists.

Getting started

• Save protection: Open any of Forms Builder, Invoices, Pay Rates, or Order Activities, make an edit, and try navigating away — confirm the unsaved-changes prompt appears. Save before leaving to keep your work.
• Invoice editing: Open an Invoice in draft, click into a line item or aggregate, and adjust values in place. Use the aggregate selector to roll up the right groupings before sending.
• Pay rate tiers: Go to Pay Rates and review Custom rate tiers for projects or agreements that need their own pay levels. Check loading rules settings so allowances and penalties apply the way your EBA expects.
• Quotes and groups: In Quotes or Templates, use Add Group to organise line items for client-facing breakdowns. Assemblies stay uncluttered — groups appear where they add value.
• Job costing traceability: Open Job Costing for a project and look for the From Supplier Invoice column. Click through to verify costs tie back to the right supplier invoice.
• Scheduler: Open the Scheduler, try server-side search on a large resource list, and scan for red double-booking signals. Use the pattern-first per-day editor on the resource grid for repeating rosters.
• Form QR codes: In Forms, generate a QR code for a published form and scan it from a crew phone — confirm it opens the form directly in the mobile app.
• Material returns: In Procurement, link Material Returns to supplier invoices for cleaner credits and tighter cost control.
• SoR versions: Use the per-account Schedule of Rates version selector to keep pricing aligned by client or region.
