Alright, thank you everyone for joining our Q3 webinar. My name's Reed Renfrow, the Product Marketing Manager at HCSS. We're really excited to go through a number of updates today. Just as a reminder, as normal, if you do have any questions at any point throughout the presentation, please use the Q and A feature. We'll answer some of those questions live. We also have a number of people, product managers on the operations team on the call here that will respond to those questions as well. So very excited to share what we have in store today. So with that, I'm gonna turn it over to Andrew Fowler. He'll quickly go through the agenda and what we're gonna talk about. Morning, everybody. Andrew Fowler, product manager for HeavyJob. Today, we've been working through some really exciting releases, looking to deliver some features for you. Some have been started within this past quarter. Others have been long running, which you'll get to see the final results of that today, as well as kind of what we're looking into the future. So if we could go ahead and advance to the next slide, Reed. Thank you. A few key stories that we have going on here. Top most important, I would say, for this one, that MapView story. A lot of great work, a lot of hard work put in from our developers and by Jon Knudson's team, which will be covering it. To really highlight what we're doing there. The high level pitch, though, I loved it how Knudson said it, and maybe I'll miss stealing his thunder, Google Maps, but for HCSS. So I love that, and that's the overall picture we'll be looking at today. Moving into the rest of the items, export to accounting improvements. A lot of hard work to get some more data into those export to accounting, as well as more rules and how you can manipulate that export to conform to your accounting system a lot better. After that, looking into the utilities world, pay item and revenue tracking improvements, really just on that mobile side, how do you do better entering of that information, better reporting of that information, and just looking at how you get a lot of information into HeavyJob. Because when you're looking at managing these different types of contracts, it is just a lot of work orders, much better word than information there. Looking into the iOS and MyField side of things, the Edit Clock In events is coming to iOS as well. If you are an Android user, you've seen this a little bit now from our last quarterly release, and this one is coming soon, immediately after our release for our web products into iOS, and the ability just to edit those clock in and clock out times. We'll look into safety for that next item, renaming the JHA module. We know you have a lot of different names and JHAJSAHAwhatever else wasn't going to the right solution, so we're going allow you to edit those names. And last but not least, for those of you that use our plan system, a lot of effort put into just increasing that load time and making it really reliable for you to access that data and making sure that when you open up that page it responds and loads as appropriately. So with that, I will go ahead and turn it over to Knudson. Alright. Thanks for the lead in there, Fowler. And and, yeah, that like you said, that kinda sums it up to a certain extent. This is Google Maps for construction. We've got a really strong foundation that we're building off of right now. So the first big use case that we wanted to deliver to you guys was really centered around photos. So, of course, there are a lot of contextual things around that, and that's kinda what this first slide is about. You know, this is all about, you know, putting your data into context. You've been collecting this data for years and years, and we wanna find even more ways just to make it as useful for you as possible. And so location is a big aspect of that. So you can see on the left hand side, we've also got financial context, you know, performance context, situational context with the weather and traffic information, and then, of course, the location bound context. So you can see in the the right hand panel, there's some of the map elements that you can toggle on and off. If you're hopping into the map, a week from now when we turn it on for everybody, just be sure if you're not seeing something, you know, you've got some options there where you can toggle that. And, also, there's some things that may require some setup, so feel free to give us a call at support if you've got any questions. All right, and we can go ahead and go to the next slide. So again, this is really centered around pictures or photos from both HeavyJob and Plans. We just made some adjustments to make, you know, photos that come into the HCSS field app retain their latitude and longitude. So make sure your photo takers out in the field have that location turned on on their device, and then they'll start showing up on the map. So we've you know, from utilities to, you know, civil construction for inspections, there's all kinds of reasons why you might need to know exactly where that photo was. Now you can see those grouped around your job site. So one last thing, this is, again, a foundation that we're building off of, so look for more additions coming soon. We are actively working on adding safety data and more plans data to the map as well as a few other tweaks and changes. So keep an eye out to see how this evolves over the next few months, and please, you know, let us know how it's looking, how you like it, if there's anything that you would like changed. This is still in beta, so we're we'd love to hear your feedback. Right. Next slide. I think I've got a couple more here. Yes. Our time card API report. So this one's super straightforward. Just think of this as a new troubleshooting tool that you guys have when it comes to time cards. Every now and then, you might get a call where you're trying to determine exactly when somebody hit send from the device, you know, how long that took it to hit our servers, if there was any errors related. You know, rarely do time cards just completely error out, but if there's ever something like, you know, poor cell phone reception or anything like that that that might cause an error, you can now see that in this report. So you can find it turned on today. Just go under reports and then time card reports, and you will see that field app submissions report. What you see on the slide here is the actual data, so you can see the time card data as well. And and back behind there, you can see some error information. So lots of really useful data in this report. Hi, John. We got a few questions that came in. Yeah. About about map view that we'll go ahead and answer right now. The first one from Samantha, is the map view only for full web users that are hybrid or would like to be able to see the map view? So you'll be able to see it on hybrid as well. Yeah. The main thing right now, the map lives inside of HeavyJobs, so you need to have a HeavyJob web license, for hybrid customers. And in case there's any desktop users that don't know this already, you can switch on a web license to see reports and things like that when you're away from the office, and you'll also be able to see MapView with that. So let us know if you have any questions about the setup on that. But, yes, overall for hybrid. And we had another question around if you pull a picture from the gallery on your phone or an iPad and directly in the instead of directly in the heavy job app, will it still show up on the map? It will. Yes. So there was a recent adjustment that we made. So if you're looking at, you know, pictures that were pulled in that way like a month ago, you probably won't see the location data for those. But, yes, as of today, those will will pull in the location data as long as they were taken with the location data captured initially. So that that gets into the device settings on your iPhone or Android device. You wanna make sure that that location is turned on. Yeah. And just to add some context, it sounds like what you're doing is you take a photo with your iPhone and then transfer it over and then pull it in from the gallery. Like Knudson said, that that change should be supported after today. So you'll be able to see all the information coming in from the field, get the field iOS app updated, be good to go. Alright. Looks like we got one other question. The submissions report is located in the web. Yes. Alright. And one more. I think this is my last one here, but this is a pretty straightforward feature improvement, but lots of usability here. So we've gotten some feedback from folks that say, hey. You know, either it's, you know, it's taken me a long time to set up my transaction tags. I find tags to be super useful in HeavyJob. Right? It helps with filtering reports. There's all kinds of use cases for using tags. But, you know, man, it's taking me a little bit longer than I want it to to set set up. Or once I get it set up in one business unit, I wanna transfer those over to another business unit quickly. So what we did as a first step here is we added excel import export. So now you can, you know, spit out your list of tags, make changes, update update those, or swap them over to a new business unit. So super straightforward functionality, but hopefully that'll save you guys a lot of time. Maybe if you were holding off on creating some tags, this will encourage you to to to dip your toes in the water. Again, it's a super useful feature within web, really can speed up your workflow. Right. I think that's all for that one, so I'll pass it over to I think Brittany's next. Thanks, John. Hey, all. I have some updates to talk about as it relates to our WebExport to your counting tool. So if you've been in the configuration, that's that templates tab, you'll see that we now have more override flexibility. Before we only had five overrides, but you can now have as many as twenty five. And if you're curious what the heck is an override, it's any kind of logic you want to build into the export, so that way when you're telling your accounting system, hey, this job is certified, maybe you have a indicator in our data to say that's certified, and you can replace the data with what you need to tell your accounting system. We also have some additional data that you can export out that includes your job tags and your cost code tags. So if you have pieces of information that doesn't necessarily land in a spot and heavy job, but you need to track, can use that with those setup tags and send that to your accounting system. And then the last but not least are our transaction tags. So any kind of notes that your foreman are tracking in the field and they assign to a cost code, such as perhaps a sub on-site, or maybe you have a temp employee doing some work and they have some kind of note that you put on that cost code to indicate that information, you can send that to your accounting system if that helps your payroll team make sure the right people are getting paid. One thing that's not on here, I do wanna mention that we'll be releasing here in probably in the next couple of weeks, is we will also have the ability for you to take a field, maybe that has a separator. So think if you got like a phase and a cost code combined, and you got a little period in between the two, you can break that apart if your accounting system needs those pieces to different spots. So be on the lookout for that to come shortly after our quarterly release. And then if you are curious about export to accounting in the web, maybe you're using our three headed standalone download on your desktop, and you're thinking, maybe with these new additions, I will be a good fit to use it, feel free to call our support team, they'd be happy to help you get set up. All right, next slide please. Okay, and then the next thing we did was we we actually worked on our cost adjustments so that you can assign a cost code to your cost adjustments. If you are familiar with how we do our math on cost adjustments, we typically spread our cost across all the cost codes on the time card. And now you have the ability to say, hey, I want a hundred percent of my cost to go to a very specific cost code. So you'll find this to be really useful for your per diem cost adjustments or your travel cost adjustments, and this will work even if you entered a zero on your time card. So you'll see this change in your web export to accounting, and also your employee detail reports. So we're pretty excited to see this out in the wild. Alright, and that's it for me. I'm not sure if we have any questions about these guys. I do not think so. Thanks. All right. Let's talk a little bit about some improvements we've made in the realm of work order management, which we have talked a lot about for utilities companies. Utilities contractors, doing blanket contract work, MSAs, high volume, fast pay stuff. But this does not necessarily apply only to that market. Here we're talking about improvements to pay items. So if you're working on these high volume contracts, you've probably got a lot of work orders, a long unit price contract with tons of rates, tons of budget information in there for each of those quantities. And anytime you have a change to that contract, you may need to go in and update rates, add pay items, remove pay items that are no longer in scope for that contract. So now when you import pay items from that massive rate sheet, you can overwrite existing ones. And that's overriding any of the data preexisting for those pay items. So you can get that stuff in there in bulk. And if you are using those pay items in template job, you can then copy those changes out to the work orders that you have already set up in system to update the rates that'll be used as you execute. Likewise, if these changes don't come from just a contractual rate change, but it's a scope change to individual work orders, for instance, if you're out doing pre fielding work and you discover different pay items that need to be executed, or if you have to quote individual work orders and you need to update the pay items that are gonna be on there and the quantities that are gonna be budgeted, any of those kinds of changes can, just require a lot of clicks to type those in. So you can, blast those out in an Excel spreadsheet and then upload those to a work order. So not only are you getting the changed pay items, the changed quantities, but you can even, change the groupings of your pay items that are grouped under a cost code or an activity. And that way, when you push those out to the field, the field is getting updated scope, updated expectations. This works whether you are using pay items that are being driven by your cost code quantities, which is the way heavy job has worked for a long time. For instance, if you're doing progress billing, percentage of completion, and it works for the new mode of pay items in which you can roll multiple pay items up to a single cost code, and you can directly enter those quantities in the field. In that case, you have multiple pay items configured under a cost code under a job. Either of those modes, this, update capability will work. So you update those pay items and that kind of scope and rate information faster regardless of the type of project you're working on. Next up. Again, in the work order management realm, we now have daily revenue reporting. This will actually, be unlocked just a week or two after our quarterly release, but we will have it out there, in a feature flag version for just a few weeks, and then it'll, become live for everybody. These new pay items that roll up to a single cost code on a single job and our field entered quantities, they drive revenue directly. The quantity that your field collects and enters multiplied by the rate for that pay item equals that daily revenue for that pay item and they may be recording five of these ten of these twenty of these on a single work order across multiple work orders a day. The revenue adds up quickly the line items track adds up quickly, and a lot of you are trying to go bill the next day, sometime this week. And so keeping track of all of those pay items or quantities, their revenue, the status in the review process, whether or not they've already been billed and exported. That's all important to be able to do daily. So this report is going to give you real time access to every single pay item transaction in the system. You'll be able to see those quantities that are recorded, the revenue recorded, how they roll up to your cost codes. Some of the specific use cases that this is going to be useful for is one, get in there and see which pay items exist in the system and have not been billed yet. Those are the ones you want to pay attention to to go collect that revenue tomorrow. Two, which time cards have been submitted against the work order that does not have pay item revenue recorded. That might be a problem. You can see those easily. Three, your fields collecting quantities. They put in lump sum instead of linear feet. Now they've got one hundred lump sums instead of one hundred linear feet. The math is going to blow up. You're going to have a fifty thousand dollars revenue capture on that work order. Sounds pretty good. When you maybe meant more like a five thousand dollar revenue capture. You wanna be able to see those big numbers and see those red flags and call those out and fix them. So this report will give you that access to roll things up, whether it's through the form and the date, the work order, the contract, etcetera, and find those anomalies before you hit go on the billing process. Next up, again on the work order management side, in the last quarter those two things are the major deliverables we've had, but in the past year there's been a bunch of other stuff and that has been hidden behind the scenes feature flags. So that only select companies were able to see and work with it, we are going to be removing those so that the masses have access to it, It will still be permission controlled by heavy job access permissions. But some of those features that some of y'all have seen, some of y'all haven't, bulk import and copying of job setups, that'll be unleashed. Directly recorded pay item quantities that are groupable by cost code. The field collection of pay item quantities right there adjacent to the time card when they're collecting their time and their material costs. They'll be able to collect these directly entered pay item revenues. The review process that is right there integrated with the time card review process. Pay item quantity adjustments so that you can enter negative adjustments. For instance, if you're out getting precision locate data that updates you from one hundred feet to ninety seven feet, you can record those adjustments. Billing export of those pay item quantities for AR and billing processes. And on top of that, the two things we just talked about. All of those will be revealed to everybody and access control will kind of keep it in its current state and so you'll have the option to go turn this stuff on. And that's everything. Any questions? My field. Hey, everyone. So I'm gonna go over MyField today. Like Andrew talked about earlier, we are releasing the edit clock events for iOS soon. Won't be right around the, q three, release deadline. It'll be a little bit after, but, it'll be coming out soon. So for those of you who are using this on Android already, thank you. We appreciate it. But now it'll also be coming out on iOS. So this will allow your users to edit all their clock events that you see on here. So if they forgot to clock in, they forgot to clock out, they need to adjust their meal breaks, they can do all this through this functionality. So as you can see here, we added some screenshots for the way it will look on iOS. If you want to see how it looks on Android, you can look at past webinars, or you can already download it on your Android device since it's already out. Next slide, Reed. If you or your company do not wish to use this preference, we do have it set as a preference in heavy job web. So if you don't want your employees access to edit their clock events, you can change the setting and the toggle in your clock in settings under my field web. And I think that's it for me. Yep. So now it's heavy jobs or safety. Looks like we had one question before we hop off of that. Travis is looking to be able to see the discrepancy from what hours were clocked in versus what was manually adjusted inside of my field. Yeah, so we can we will see on the mobile device like you will see what what the original time is and what it's edited to. On web it will show the original time initially, and then whenever it's changed through mobile, it'll change it to the updated time. But we are working on a report that will show basically like a history report, so who adjusted it, what the original time was, and the discrepancy between the two. You can see who edited it and when and what the original time was as well. Yeah. And so that will be coming. It should be noted, though. The MyField hours do still go through that formant for approval. So just keep that in mind of of yeah. There's there's other checks in there as well that are are personnel, but we'll get that data in there with that report that Cassie mentioned. Yeah. And so to answer your question, Kathy, like, do we do consume the original pension time. It's just we don't currently show it in web. So that's the work that we're going to be doing in web, is having a report to actually show the original time in addition to the time that was edited. Alright. Let's talk about some safety stuff. So one of the things that's coming out here relatively soon is the ability to rename the actual JHA module. So basically, what that'll mean is you can put a name and a description, and that name and description are gonna flow out automagically to all of the different places in the system where they currently appear. That includes things like menu buttons here and column titles. That includes the name of the module button in the field app. Everywhere you can imagine, it's it's gonna flow out there. The big goal here is to make it easier for you to adopt the JHA out in the field. You'll be able to match up your terminology with whatever is existing. You won't have to retrain people. You won't have to have that conversation of, hey. Yeah. Yeah. The JHA equals the tail board or, you know, fill in the blank. Or, you know, we it says JHA here, but it's JSA or whatever. It may it may be minor, but just trying to help save that time and effort for you guys. And for for some, I've heard this is actually gonna lower your training costs. For example, if you have videos that you really like that use a certain terminology for this, then you don't have to remake those videos. You can just adjust the terminology that's in HCSS safety to match what you're already using out in the field. And this name is gonna appear, like I said, throughout the whole platform. So it's gonna be very consistent. And whenever you set it up, one of the things that we hopefully helpful for you will be that it's going you're gonna set it up once and then it's gonna go everywhere. You don't have to go in every single business unit and set it up individually. This should also help with your roll up reporting and things like that, trying to just make that really, really easy to set up and keep in sync across your system. And just to to clarify, you're saying that when people change this, it goes company wide. Is that right? It is. Company wide. Yeah. Across all business units. And we're also gonna keep the data intact for your past submitted JHAs. Meaning, when you go change this name here, it's not gonna go back in time and change all your past JHA PDFs, your pay JHA reports and things. They're still gonna show whatever the name was whenever it was actually recorded. And I'll also note that if someone is if if you're using the format, it will still also say whenever you're doing that. And we don't have a a setting that we're putting in right now to modify the format. That one's pretty set and and pretty standardized. So if you are someone who's using that and you're worried, oh, no. All my AHAs are about to have their own name. Don't worry about that. It should it'll it'll keep the correct name on those. Jen, anything I'm missing? No. But we do have one question from Jason, if you're ready to take it. So how will that impact BI access for the data it relates to? Got it. Okay, so Jason, I don't think there's anything, and you can correct me on this if you have some specific you'd like to go into. But I don't think there's anything in the BI reports that's gonna be pulling the name of the module from the data currently because the name of the module isn't in the data currently. So anything you have that's using that name is probably something that you set up as a name in the report on your end. That said, this may not be available immediately, but if you did for some reason want to be able to pull the name out of the system, then let us know and we we could probably put that in the data that you could pull from Direct Access or through HCSS Insights. Yeah. That was a great question. Alright. And I don't see well, Jason says, as long as the field name works, we'll be okay. So glad to hear that, and let us know Yes. You know, just if you see anything coming up in those reports or you need anything extra. Is there anything else on this slide, or should we move into talking about skills? Okay, guys. So what I wanna talk about today is, something that is, kinda in between safety and skills. And essentially, within safety meetings, there has been a a type of meeting that we call training meetings. And essentially, someone can hold a meeting and hold it for a specific skill and everyone who attends can earn that skill. So it's a great way if you're doing training out in the field to just get those skills out and assign to everyone without someone in the office having to punch in or after the meeting going in and having to assign it to each person. So they're really great, really useful, but sometimes we have heard that the people that you want to hold your regular meetings are not necessarily the people you want to be able to give skills to multiple people at once. So that's why we have created this new permission that is within credentials. And what it does is it just allows you to say, want, Andrew Fowler to have the ability to hold a meeting, but not necessarily hold training meetings. And the skill permission is actually separate from that. So you could say, maybe I want Andrew to be able to, one by one, assign skills separately. So it's giving you more granular control. And now we have had this visible for a little bit. So you might have already turned this on. And if you did, don't worry. That is just gonna flow out to people in the field as they update to the latest version on iOS. So this is something new. I'd say take a look at it. It is hopefully really useful for your team. And if you have certain permissions things that you want, you know, feel free to reach out to us. And I wanna take one minute. I know we have to move on. Just talk a second about map view. We are working on getting inspections into map view. And if you have thoughts as a safety professional, as a project manager, or just as someone who says, I would like to be able to see safety data on a map, come talk to us. Jen. Watleyhess, gasp dot kurts. Just let us know your thoughts on it because we are currently building things. Oh, there's a little screenshot. On to plans. Hey, everyone. A couple of a couple of updates. We've been working working really hard over the past over the past few months trying to address some some performance issues, long loading times, lots of lots of downtime outages, basically just a really unsatisfactory really an unsatisfactory user experience in in in plans. Those are starting to those have started to come to fruition. One of the first ones that came out was we've reduced the loading time it took for Plans Manager for that first page when you go to plans. Hcssapps dot com. The page is loading loading significantly faster, particularly if you have a large number of projects or a large number of users. We've seen in some cases down from, a forty five second load time to to to to four to five, four to five seconds. We've also, really improved the reliability, then a lot few lot fewer outages, and those are, those have just been, those have just that has just been wonderful. Very much enjoy very much enjoy that it it it works. So that that's what that's what currently, we've been working on that. Some other some other items are gonna be coming up as far as just pure performance. Over onto the next one, Reed. We also made a change to how you assign users. Previously, this was a page this is when you're in that project and you're going to the users who are assigned users of the groups who are who are assigned to it. This was a page that in and of itself could take a long time to load. And then if you're actually trying to do something in it, you're trying to add users, you're trying to remove users, not only would it it work slowly, it would also wouldn't tell you it was working. So you'd be left with this experience of clicking a button and it just looks at you like you're silly. We've made a change to we made a change to that. We've added this we've added this panel. This panel one loads a lot faster. So the main page loads and then the actual thing that you're trying to do in this page happens faster. The panel also allows you to select multiple users at a time so you can add multiple users. Also allows you to search for a user. So you can find that user you want to add to a project. And this function also works in groups. So if you're you're trying to do the same thing with a group, you'll see the you'll see the same thing have the same have the same behavior. And then we've also made some changes to the responsiveness. So if you do something in here, you actually see an indicator of some that something is happening. So you're not just left looking at this, looking at the static page as, as the as all the ones and zeros process. And that's what we've got for, that's what we got for plans. All this stuff is already, is already out and we're gonna be, making more of these, making more of these improvements as, as they're as they're finished and released. Alright. John, looks like we got one plans question live that we can touch on here is, I noticed when we remove a plan set from the iPad now, the group roll ups are no longer sticky and they all roll back open again. I think this was fixed one time before but now it's back to the old way of re expanding all the groups. K. I'll take a look at that, Brian, and, we'll we'll try and recreate it and find out what's going on. With that, I'm gonna pass it over to Matt Fidler to talk about upcoming Consulting Connect opportunities. Hello, I'm Matt Fidler, part of the Consulting team. I'm excited to remind anybody that hasn't come and join us so far for the Consulting Connect events that we've done thus far. We're gonna be in San Jose next month. So excited to come out to California. Dan Lisbony himself will be there to teach you all about HeavyJob. The goal of the class is really spend a day show you some of the goodies you kind of know about, but oh, did you know you could do this? Oh, this is a little faster way to do this. Oh, I didn't know the time card could do that. So help you be a little better, little more efficient. And then the second day is showing you how to get to the next level, be able to use all the cool buttons that we have built for you. I know that I hear too many times that we're just using Heavy Job for a time card, and though we're damn good at that, it can do so much more cool stuff that we also want you to use. So excited to be able to come out. If you can't come to California or if you're on the other side of the country. We're going to be in Florida, Jersey and down here in Houston at the end of the day. So anybody up north that wants to come and think about how they should move to Texas in December, it's a good time to join us if you want at the end of the year. But hope you all can join us. Would love to have you. Thanks, Matt. Now we've made it to the Q and A portion of the meeting. So I know we have a question from Jessica. Is it possible to limit who can see what in safety? We have different companies and can't set permissions around that in the reporting. Gotcha, can take that one. So we have a number of different permissions and if I don't hit on exactly what you're looking for, then definitely let me know. But there are permissions around things like business unit and jobs. So if you're, business unit if you're these companies you're you're looking at are set up by business unit and you're talking about safety itself, like Safety Manager or the HCSS field app, then you can set up permissions to those specific business units, and you can go more granular into jobs. And then for reporting specifically in Safety Manager, we do have a toggle in the access groups for each report where you can toggle access to that report or not. And these reports should be respecting the job access and business unit access of the users who are viewing the reports. Now if you're talking about something like HCSS Insights or or Direct Access, that one gets a little more interesting. Direct access, that's one where you might have a little more control over that because you're building those reports yourself probably. In Insights, there are per report controls and permissions that you can set up. So you might wanna set up different versions of reports that only pull in data from the sets that you want someone to be able to see, and then you can give people access to those specific reports if you wanna be able to control it that way. Those reports, I don't think are they're they're just pulling from everything in the company whenever you're in the Insights reports. It's not necessarily going by business unit or it's not looking at, say, you know, there's no there's no report controls in Safety Manager InSights. You need to manage that in the InSights permissions themselves. If that does not answer your question, please let me know and I will try to make sure I catch it for you. Yes, I think that was super comprehensive. Jessica, if you do have a follow-up, I am very curious because I think think you covered everything, Kirsten. And, you know, just because you're already on a roll, I'm going to ask you another question from Renee asking, within skills, is it possible to add additional alert time frames to a skill other than just one? For example, sixty days prior to expiration, thirty days prior, and fifteen days prior. So we just have the one threshold now, where you set up the expiration alert. You can't set up multiple alert thresholds. It makes me think what you're asking for makes me think of how I I guess in a calendar, I can set up alerts prior to a date, and I can set up multiples. There's the default one, and then I can set up a bunch of additional ones. We don't have anything like that in skills right now, but I can definitely make a note of that. Makes sense. I could see how that could be useful. Yeah, and one thing that I'm thinking you want it for the reason of trying to triage and say, oh, these things are going expire in fifteen days. This is high urgency rather than things that are maybe, you know, sixty days out. If that's not the reason, let us know. But there is the ability in skills to set up to receive a newsletter, which is a lot, and it's kind of the weekly skills report, and it has everyone and their expiring skills, so it can be quite long. But maybe that is a little bit of a stop gap for you. So, just saying look out for that one. Maybe that can help a little bit. Yeah. And it looks like Renee also asked about, setting up a year to date expiration date from data certification for skills. We do have an expires after field, and there is the ability to auto set the date. But what it does is whenever you're setting up the skill, it will auto populate the date field, you can adjust it if you need to. We we have had some feedback that some people need it to be a say, a year counting today and some people a year not counting today or some other even more interesting things where it's like a year, but it's at the end of that specific month or some things like that. I think what we're doing in there is we're doing a year not counting today. Not counting. Okay. So it should get you really close and you may need to adjust that date. But it's trying to at least help you out and get it pretty close to that so that you're not having to go click through, a bunch of months or or manually type the full date or anything like that. Yeah. And, Gaston, I think you just gave a great example of how we spend so much time just trying to understand the nuance of what y'all need. So anytime you guys have very specific feedback for that, we really appreciate that and appreciate y'all asking questions or literally just emailing us thoughts. So I think those are all the questions for us. Alright. I'm gonna jump back in. I know there was a question from Kathy earlier on in the presentation. Do you send out communications can scroll down, see past updates as well, here's information from our Q2 release. You can also filter by iOS, Android, web, desktop, new features, so we have a lot of information here. There will also be an email that goes out to basically anyone that has a credentialed license to one of these products will get an email with those updates. And one thing I did also wanna point out while I'm here is we just reactivated the roadmap section, so you can come here in the Roadmap, you can see things in planning, things that are a little ways out in development, you can sort by product here. You can actually subscribe to these individual updates, so if it's something you're really excited about, you notifications as we move through, that moves through the development process. So, come on over here, check it out. Lots of exciting things in our updates section, and you'll definitely see announcements about a lot of the things we, basically everything we talked about today coming next Thursday when that's ready. Alright. Other questions? Anyway, it's a Consulting Connect questions. Don't know, Fidler, if you want to take those. Reed, do want to show the slide for Consulting Connect? Yes, I'll go back to it. When I exited out There we go. Okay. You get to see how we make that sausage. I just shared a link for since you probably can't click on your screen to join up. So it's fifteen hundred dollars is the ticket price. We had a question for how much it is. We have some deals if you sign up multiple people. The next two in San Jose and Orlando are just heavy job classes. In Jersey, we'll have a heavy job class in one room and we'll have a three sixty class in another room. We've had several companies that have sent a handful of people to either class. And in Chicago, last month we had somebody that had sent somebody to heavy job and somebody to three sixty, which was good to be able to try to pick everything up. So I'd say I would love to have as many folks as you can talking with the person who may know the most about HeavyJob in the world, Dan Lisbony. So he'll he will love to show you all the goodies you can do, and take any questions, and any requests. And if you, ask nicely or if you don't even ask nicely, he'd be more than happy to do some karaoke with you as well. So Matt, Samantha's asking, can they use their CIP hours for these events? I don't know if that's something you'd have to talk with on an individual basis or anything. Unfortunately, we can't use our CIP hours for the tickets. We are planning, we were in Chicago, we visited a customer and used their CIP hours on-site for no extra charge. So if you're around San Jose or Orlando or, Mount Laurel is kind of, between Newark and, Philly, we've been doing all these events at Topgolf, which has been really fun. They have, conference centers, and then we get to hang out and network at the, at the end of the day and do at least mediocre job hitting balls. So that has been fun and has been a great event space for us. But if you're in the area and would love for us to stop by, we'll be reaching out, but feel free to get on the list to be first so we can come and chat with you on either end of Consultant Connect. CIP, our continuous improvement program, is basically a chunk of ours and as big a block as you want to buy where we can help work with you, both me, Dan, Greg, and the rest of professional services, be able to answer any questions, help train your people, help figure out where you can get more out of the software, where we can hook your integrations up better, and just to help you be more efficient and better at what you're doing. And so we've had several customers that have CFPs that have come to Consultant Connect, which is a good way to set a good foundation, and then we can build off, hey, you talked about those three things. Can we have a meeting and and chat about those so we can dive into it just for us? It's a really, really great tag team way to make the most of our time together. Matt, a couple of questions from our friends in the Bay Area. The first is HeavyJob Consulting Connect is web only or is it hybrid? Will you support hybrid customers there? We absolutely support hybrid customers in Chicago. I think it was about half and half. I'd say most of what we talk about is the the web, but if we need to go back and forth, we've absolutely gone back and forth in the in the past and tried to focus on things that are buttons kind of like we talked about here, where everybody has access to like forecasting. And so this is how you'd be able to do that no matter where your data is on your server or on the server floating up in space. And then any classes on three sixty for San Jose? Not for San Jose. So the next one is gonna be in Jersey in November, will be the next three sixty class. But I'm sure they're still working on the schedule for twenty twenty six for those of y'all that are interested. If you have any requests, let's say for each of these, it's been about half locals and half folks that have flown in. So if you have any requests for where we should go on tour next year, by all means, email me, matt.fidler@hcss.com. We have one more Consultant in Connect question. Will you review this short cycle management review as well? Some of stuff Frank's been working on. Oh, I don't believe we have it in the schedule, but we absolutely have some time to be able to take requests when you sign up, not if. When you sign up, can absolutely say, Hey, I'd love to talk about these three things, so we can make sure that we have some ideas of requests walking in the door, and we'd absolutely be able to chat a little bit about that in overtime. Suspect all the PG and E work in California, it might be a little more popular than elsewhere in the country. So a good chance for us to chat about that there. Right. And Switching gears, we have a plans question from Landry. Is it possible to create folders to put plans in? For example, they want to create a folder just for jobs in division X and another for division y. So, John, you wanna take this one? Yeah. Absolutely. It is possible to it is possible to create that. And then when you're actually adding when you're adding plans to a when you're adding a set of plans to two plans, you're able to just have it go to that to that particular to that particular group. This group information passes down to the iPad so your, your crews in the field can just see, can just see the, can just see the issue can just see the the the plan sets for the thing that you want them working on. I think that's all the questions that have come in for today, so with that, I think we'll go ahead and end a few minutes early. Thanks so much for everyone who attended today. Will oh, we've one last question from Rick coming in. HCSS skills, did I hear correctly that a training type meeting will automatically update skills? Yep. You just need to go into skills. Each skill has a meeting integration, row, and there's a little toggle. And if you toggle that on, it kind of automatically starts showing up, when you go into safety under your meetings setup. So, go ahead, Rick. Play around with that. A training type meeting is a great way to give people in the field the ability to, hold trainings and give everyone, access to it, give everyone the skill. Alright. Alright. Well, last few questions coming in. Any updates to track per diem on my field? Andrew or Cathy, if either of you have information on that. At the moment, no. But it's something that we can look into. K. And are radio buttons and checks boxes still in the work for hybrid forms? Yes. Keeping the answers short and sweet on these last few questions. Alright. Very cool. Well, thanks everyone for joining us today. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. As a reminder, all of these updates that we talked about today, the vast majority of them will be available next Thursday, the date of our Q three release. With that everyone, enjoy the weekend and we'll see you next Have a good one y'all. Have a good one. See you everybody. Bye. Bye bye.
