Work Specifications
Within each project are work specifications, and potentially supplemental work specifications, that contain specific assets with work to be completed.
To view an existing work specification, click that work specification's View button in the Work Specification section. To add a work specification, click the Add Work Spec button:
The Name textbox indicates the name of the work specification.
The Start Date and End Date textboxes allow the admin to determine the start and end dates for the work specification, respectively. Prime consultants will only have access to it within the selected start and end dates. Sub consultants cannot access work specifications.
The Status dropdown indicates the current status of the work specification. This is used by the agency for informational purposes.
Assets Included in Work Spec
Click the Manage Assets button in the Assets Included in Work Spec section to locate and check the boxes of the assets to be included in the work specification. Those assets will then appear in the project's Asset Tree.
Click the Bulk Asset Selection button in the Assets Included in Work Spec section to perform a bulk asset selection for the selected work specification:
The Download Bulk Asset Selection Template link downloads the Excel template that can be used to enter all of the assets that will be selected for the work specification.
When the template is complete, use the Browse button to select it from the computer's files. The Specify Asset Parent By dropdown determines how the parent asset of the selected assets will be determined. This helps ensure that the correct assets are selected.
When the basic information is complete and the desired assets have been selected, click the Save Work Spec button to reveal additional controls:
The Available Inspection Types listbox allows the user to restrict the inspection types available for the selected work specification. Click the Edit button to select the inspection types:
Check the boxes of the inspection types that should be available for the selected work specification. Click the Save button to save the selections or click the Cancel button to reject the selections.
Supplemental Work Specifications
To add a supplemental work specification, click the Add Supplemental Work Spec button in the Supplemental Work Specifications section of the work specification.
The basic process is exactly the same as that of the work specification, however the Available Inspection Types listbox is replaced by the Assigned Subs listbox:
The Assigned Subs listbox allows the user to select which sub consultants (out of those made available to the overall project) will be available to the specific supplemental work specification. To edit the assigned sub consultants, click the Edit button.
