Construct CT – Checklists

Overview

Checklists are a great tool for organizing construction projects to ensure that tasks and activities are completed on time. They can be created and customized for tracking a variety of processes and operations. For example, safety checklists can be used to help ensure that proper safety rules and procedures are being followed by foreman and crew members on the job site. Timesheet verification checklists can be used when submitting timesheets to ensure timesheets are compliant. Sign-off features are also available for approval processes such as timesheet approvals, or for record-keeping purposes such as the completion of daily checklists.

Enabling Checklist Functionality

To get started using checklists, complete the security setup described in the sections below.

Role and User Maintenance

Access to the Checklist functionality can be granted at either the role level or the user level. Users will need to be assigned two menu items: Checklist Templates menu and Crewtime Check List Setup menu. Access to the Checklist Templates menu and Crewtime Check List Setup menu can be assigned at the role level on the Security Roles screen in the E-Time module (standard Treeview path: E-Time > Security > Role Maintenance), or at the user level on the User Access screen (standard Treeview path: E-Time > Security > User Access) in the E-Time module. Users should then select the Assign Menu Items option, shown below.

Following this, the possible checklist answers can be entered.

This process can be repeated to add more sections and questions to the template as required. Once the template has been created and saved, it can be assigned to a company, job, and crew.

A similar process is followed for adding foreman checklists under the Foreman tab.

Employee Sign-Off Checklists

Employee sign-off checklists are available under the Employee Signature screen. These checklists will show as “Pending” until they are completed for the week.

Note: These checklists are to be completed on a weekly basis, not on a daily basis.
