HCSS Plans and HeavyJob Monthly Webinar October 2024

Alright. Well, thanks everyone for getting started. My name is Reed Renfro. I'm a product marketing manager at HSS. Today, I'm Christophe and theme by family who are all Frozen characters. Or you have small children, I'm sure you're aware. But we're really excited to have you all today. We have a big agenda. It is Halloween. We have a number of new features that we're gonna talk about on HeavyJob. We'll have a few updates from HCSS plans, and then we have a few polls along the way. Before we jump into the full agenda, we actually have Daniel Chi here with us. He's going to talk a little bit about UGM and our HCA awards. Again, as a reminder, if you do have any questions throughout the presentation today, please go and ask them in the Q and A section. We will do our best to get to as many questions as we can, answer them either through chat or stop and answer them in the presentation. But we do have a lot to get to today, so we're going to go ahead and get started. So with that, I'm going to pass it over to you, Daniel. So just wanted to thank all of y'all for letting me join your wonderful monthly tradition. We had the opportunity to launch the third annual HSS Construction Award. At UGM, we're gonna announce the winner, but we have three final four finalists. And and ultimately, it was it was us trying to define find customers that were really excelling in efficiency, safety, and technical technological advancements. And it was a good opportunity to lay into, three hundred characters and explain how, your company, was exceptional and how you shined. And we were really impressed by all the applicants that sent in stuff. So, I do appreciate everybody that took the effort, to explain how you're making a clear path for your company in growth, and in technological advances too as well. And so without further ado, the four finalists that we have are Preston Companies, Jordan Foster Construction, Underground Construction, and Tri State Drilling. All these applications were pretty exceptional. I can tell you, if I could pick ten, I would have because they were really, really good. But these had ways that they were over the top in certain ways. And I think that one of the lessons that I that we learned going through all the applications was that you guys really care about safety. It's not just a platitude for you. And in everything that you do, whether that's operations or estimating or in your fleet management, you really cared about, the safety of your people, and that really tells a lot about the character of of the customers that that we get to deal with on a daily basis. So I appreciate it. I appreciate it getting to learn it, going through this process. So I will be reaching out to the four finalists. So congratulations and thank you all so much. Thanks, Daniel, for joining us. Before we jump into Heavy Job, I do want to mention before Daniel heads out, he's really a great resource here at HTSS. He knows the customer stories, and he understands them. And if you have a cool story or anything going on at your company want to talk about it, want to see what other people are doing, Daniel's the guy to talk to. So by all means, give him a call, shoot him an email, something like that. Anytime you got something fun going on, Daniel's a guy to talk to about that. He he kinda knows everything that's going on from that that standpoint here at HCSS. So definitely keep him in touch when you're doing something cool and just to find out what other people are doing as well. My email is easy. It's danielhcss dot com. How do we get one of those? Okay. Alright. So with that, I'm gonna turn it over to Neil who's gonna go over PCOs and HTSS field. Yeah, absolutely. So the next couple of slides are gonna be talking about the field mobile app specifically for iOS, and everything that we show in the next couple slides, it's all released. So you may have seen some of these as you're working through the app. The first thing we're going to show is potential change orders. You may remember from a couple of webinars ago, we kind of walked through this new addition that we added. This is now live and if you're familiar with project controls, you probably noticed the the reskin, the look and feel. It's much more user friendly. It's much cleaner. But specifically for PCLs, that's the new addition. And so when you're in there, the screenshot on the left is what we call the list view. You can see the potential change orders tied to your job and just some top level information of the status of that PCO, the cost code's tied to it, any drawings tied to it. All of this is set up in heavy job web. And then on the right side is the the detailed view of it. So there you can see a lot more information of if there's a scheduled impact of that PCO, a full description. And then you can also if it has plans links to it, you can tap view plans and open up the plans app, and you can see more. Also, if there's other related items to it, so if there's an RFI tied to it or issue tied to any of those, you can tap into those and then see, those in more detail, and then all the attachments tied to the potential change orders. This is all live, and so if you guys aren't seeing this just yet, I'll update the mobile app, and you'll be able to see it. Okay. The other thing we recently added is in the history calendar. If you're familiar with the history calendar, you already know about our little gray and orange icons. We added a third one now. It's a red icon and just kinda talk through those. The gray icon is, you know, the the best one there. It lets you know that your transaction, your time card, your meeting, your inspection, if it has the gray background, it's sent. You're good. If it's orange, that just means that you've created created it. It's a draft, but you haven't triggered the send yet. So that's just an indicator that, hey. This exists, but you need to send it off. And the red one is where if you've queued it off, you hit send on it. But for whatever reason, it failed, it aired out. We now give you an indicator on the history calendar itself, to let you know that, hey. This failed for whatever reason. You tap into it. It'll then open up the time card screen, and then it'll show you the error, and then how you can fix the error yourself. There's a video here. Oh, yeah. Waldo. Sorry. Always worth mentioning, the q and a is down at the bottom. So if anybody has any questions going on while we're doing this, some have already come through, which we'll get to in a little bit. But just a reminder to everybody that by all means, definitely do the Q and A if you have any questions about anything you see or anything you don't see. Perfect. I'll try to get access to that video here in a second once the message comes through, but I can talk through a little bit more. So what we recent oh, there it is. One second. Let me share this with Reid. So, Ania, while you're sharing that, question has come in from Mike. If the time card is rejected, is it a red indicator as well? It it won't be. It'll still be the the sent status, and then when they tap into it, they'll see that banner at the bottom showing red. Did it go through? I know. I don't know if we're gonna be able to get the video on you. Okay. No worries. I I can talk through it. So this is this is added in our most recent update, which went out last week. It's in time card review and essentially it's the ability to see inactive foreman. So a lot of times, essentially previously, you can only see your time cards when you're in the review section from folks that are active. We've heard that there are instances where somebody is now an inactive foreman, you still need to approve, review, reject their time card, So we've added this little toggle to be able to see the inactive foreman. A couple of other kind of UI improvements we did is we'll just show you when that toggle is selected. We'll show you who's actually inactive in that list so that you can clearly see that okay I want this guy but not this guy. And then we also added that counter where it says thrifting selected. We added that at the top left just so you know how many folks time cards you should expect to see. And then all the video was just kind of a walkthrough of how that looks. And then I think the last thing that we added recently is the copy crew feature. So you guys are probably familiar with copy previous time card. What that does is when you hit copy previous, it'll copy your crew and your cost codes for that job. What we've added is the ability to copy just the crew. And so if it's a single job and you hit copy previous, you'll just copy the crew from yesterday onto today's time card. If it's a multi job time card, same behavior. It'll copy the crew across all your jobs from yesterday to today. But if it's separate if it's multiple single job time cards, you'll get the selection screen that we see at the bottom here, where you can see, do I want my crew from my one earth job, or do I want my crew from my one paved job? And that's only in the instance where you have multiple single job time cards. Awesome. Thanks. So I just wanna chime in about the copy crew feature that Anil was talking about. If you have crews where they work a lot of different jobs, but they work with the same people regularly, that feature will be really exciting for them. So I definitely wanna shout that out, and hopefully you guys have a chance to talk to your foreman a little bit about that. So on the export to accounting side of things, we've made an improvement where if you were interested in using export to accounting, but maybe someone in support or in your own evaluation you realized, oh, I need my linked equipment to be treated a little bit differently, so that way it's always the same amount of hours as its operator. We call it the least common requirement. It's a common requirement that we see for foundation accounting systems. We now have that. So, you can now, if you see on the top screenshot, you can now determine whether or not you want any excess equipment hours to be printed when they're linked to an operator. That will be a setting that you can change in your template configuration. So definitely reach out to support if you're thinking that, hey, this might be me, definitely reach out and they can help get you set up. The other thing we released since last webinar is the ability to exclude zero hour entries. So previously, if you had someone type in a zero on a time card, it would export out in the export to accounting, and now you can choose whether or not you want that to export out. So if you deselect include zero hours in your template configuration, then you will no longer see rows with zero hour entries. So pretty excited about those improvements. Exported accounting is one of those things that's just really come a long ways in about less than a year, I think. But I think, Brittany, we're up to what, two hundred companies that are exporting on a weekly basis, getting payroll out. And that's obviously in addition to the old method that probably many of you are familiar with of x sorting through the through the tool that you download to your system. But it is really nice to be able to have a a web only version. It doesn't require an actual download. Yeah. We've been we've been working with our internal support folks to try to identify what can we do to get people off that download desktop and get them on the web. And so we've been seeing some excitement around that and really appreciating feedback we get from customers on how we can improve that. Another thing to chime in for export to accounting, that being one of the most important processes in your company, difficult to switch over, right? I would encourage you to at least start looking at the options in web, really around how we've improved our exceptions reporting within that area. So some really great exceptions reports really helps out the payroll. Our design team did a great job of highlighting what to look at and when to look at it. So feel free to come to us with any questions if you're looking to move over. Thanks. And then we've also added an improvement to our quantity adjustment tool. So if ever you're trying to make filters to kind of narrow down what you're looking at in the quantity adjustment tool. You might have noticed when I select cost code tags, previously it would show me all my cost code tags, even if the job I selected doesn't have that cost code tag used. And so now, you can actually narrow down your list of cost code tags to the job you have selected by checking that show cost code tags from this job only checkbox. If you select that, you might see your list of tags get a little bit smaller. And it just allows you guys, for folks that have many, many cost code tags but that are different to specific jobs, it allows them to find the tag that they need much quicker. I'd say the adjustment tool, though it's originally intended as an adjustment tool, it's also a really, really handy report. So if you want an easy way to see what's my quantity for each day we worked on something, it gives you an easy way to be able to see that daily breakdown, especially if you have a quantity you're fighting about. We say we did five hundred, they say we did four fifty, now you've got an easy way to filter down and find, okay, well here's my numbers and where they come from every day. Super duper handy. Yeah. Alright. Time card history report changes. Right. I'm John Knutson. AKA bones. I will be talking about some of these next changes here, but first, a quick skeleton based joke. How do French skeletons say hello? How John? The answer. Bonjour. Which is I picked that one. There was a lot of options for skeleton jokes here, but I picked that one because that's also how we say it in Texas. Bonjour. Okay. Anyways, I will spare you any more jokes, but time the mute button. Hey. You can't get under my skin. Get it? Okay. No. I'm seriously starting now. Time card history of report changes. So we've got a couple of these lined up. For those of you of you that have been using this report, you know, that it's been in the beta phase, and we've been reaching out, you know, seeing what little tweaks and things like that we can do to improve the workflow. So we've got two on this slide, and both of them are related to scannability of the reports. So the first one you can now see the changes for pay class and total hours inside of that revision summary of the report. So each time card has its own little summary, and then there's a detailed section below it. So we're adding more to the summary so that as you're going through, can just kinda see real quick if there's changes that you're particular changes that you're looking for. And if not, you keep on ongoing because you might have a lot of time cards that you're looking at at once. The other change actually filters out some of that information, so, we have an option now to only show time card history for time cards with revisions. So, if there are no revisions made, we're gonna skip it. We're gonna allow you to focus in on the ones that had those changes. So, just making this report, quicker to read. Move on to the next slide here. Alright. The materials and subs reports. We also added, transaction tags to this one. So if you're familiar with the MSE tool, we've got transaction tags that you can view there. Tags within heavy job in general are a really powerful way to filter down and drill down to the specific data that you're looking for. So along those same lines, this filterable column in the MSC report, allows you to to get to what you're looking for faster. Group down that data and export it if you like or or subtotal based off of those. Alright. While we're on the report trend here, we've been making several changes there. We noticed that we had, some reports that only allowed you to sort or search filter down to one single format at a time. We built those like that originally, but we've got some changes now that allow us to to pull larger datasets. So, we made this change to the cost by tags, the cost could detail the quantities by tags and the production plan to allow you to run it for multiple foreman. There are a couple other reports that we've got lined up to make the same change on as well. So if you're like, hey, wait, there's this other report that I want to be able to do this on. It's probably in that next batch. Alright, moving right along signature report. So we are now displaying unsigned multi job card rows in a single row. So, again, along the lines of clarity and readability, a lot of these reports that we've mentioned today are being used in payroll audits or folks are scrambling around trying to get payroll out the door. They're just trying to make sure all the information is correct, and they need to be able to absorb that as quickly as possible. So this is a we've got a couple changes with the signature report to help with that. You can see the previous behavior in red where it was split out into two separate rows, and now the new behavior shows both in a row, making it really clear that there was more than one job on this time card and, making it clear that, You know, the signature is representative of the whole time card there. Alright, the next slide I believe is also with the signature report. Better schedule handling. This has been a request for a while. I know a couple of customers in particular that are going to be happy to see this, but multi job time cards will now display the schedule as well. We had some design work to do here to figure out how best to display it, but hopefully this will work well for you. They'll group in single rows and display the schedule in the order that the jobs are listed. I'm seeing a few reactions come in. So glad to see some folks happy about this one. We are too. Alright. Moving right along. These signature options for time cards. This is another one that was has been requested for a while. We had some technical details that we had to tinker around with in the background, but you will now have the option to sort the time card filter. So for those of you that this doesn't look immediately familiar, if you pull up the time cards in web, you'll see on the right side the place where you can filter down. And it used to just be by date. Now you can do it by also job and foreman. So if you, you know, it seems like a fairly simple change, but after talking to some customers, this is a really powerful change in the way that they review their time cards, way that they prefer to review those time cards. And and again, a a lot of times we're just trying to get payroll out the door. We're trying to to check into a lot of different things and we need it to make sense to the way that we're we're thinking about it as individual users. Hopefully this will allow for some of that customization. Right and I think that might be the last of my slides. I don't have any more skeleton jokes, so we'll we'll move right along here. I think we had some questions come in. About my costume or Yeah. Costume was a hit, but Okay. On I think they're back on the on the subcontractor section. Is it is it possible to change the sub on that screen? Go back to the On the material and subs report. Okay. Like, in the filters there. Well, so so on the on the on the materials and subs report, obviously, that's that is just a a flat report. Well, not quite flat because you can move it around and pivot it and do other fun stuff with it. Very cool report. Check it out. But not gonna be able to edit this stuff there. So, John, I think what Todd is going for, is it possible to just change the subcontractor in the office somewhere on the web? Like where would we do that if we wanted to? Is it going be on the time card screen? Is it going be on the MSE quantity tool screen whose name I forgot at the moment? Like, where's the best place to change the subcontractor if the foreman if the field is entered in the wrong, the wrong name on there? Gotcha. So probably the best place to change that is currently in the, the PO setup. So going to the individual job, going to the materials tab and and. Changing it there. Actually are doing some work, though, to be able to change the vendor or the resource. So, and under tools and the material and subs keep an eye out there. We'll probably have some changes upcoming soon, giving you the ability to change it in that place as well. Okay, the other question you got is from Julia wanting to be able to filter the form and list But I guess back to that that last thing you showed on the time card itself, I would assume, judging by when that came in. So being able to sort by foreman, but actually also being able to filter by foreman. Oh, gotcha. And and there should be a foreman filter in the time card view. I wonder if she was thinking about the the the multi select foreman list that we changed on those reports. And I don't think we have that ability just yet, but I will jot that one down. Right. Now for one of the most important parts of today, we do have our first poll. What is the best Halloween candy? Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kats or other? The results are flying in here which I really appreciate. Oh, peanut butter cups with a strong lead. Yeah. What is wrong with people? No. All right. All right, I think we'll give everyone just a few more minutes. I think this might be one of our highest engaged polls we've ever launched on one of these webinars, I don't know what that says. But we'll go ahead and end the poll. It is overwhelming peanut butter cups with fifty four percent share of the vote. Oh, it failed to let me share the poll. Don't know why that happened. They they can see it. They can see it. Okay. Good. I got a weird error message. But excellent. Well, I know we have a lot to get to today, but thank you for indulging us on Halloween. We really appreciate it. At the risk of insulting eight people out there, KitKatz is just the wrong answer. What what are you talking about, Andrew? It was KitKatz is a very good, very good. I'd I'd prefer something minty, but KitKatz, that's a fine answer. Peanut butter though, no, no. York, patty, clearly. There we go, Matt. Now we're talking. That's the one. Right. Well, with that out of the way, we'll turn it over to John Bradshaw to go over number of updates on HTSS. Why, hello, everyone. Glad to be here. Sorry I was a little sorry I was a little late. It was a Ferrari, so it doesn't start the first time, you know, that fine Italian electrics really just really just really really just threw me off. Anyways, first off, first thing we have to do, it's not really an an an update from us per se, but with our latest release on iOS, which is HCSS plans iOS twenty twenty four point one five, your devices are now going to have to be updated to at least iOS sixteen if you want to continue receiving updates to HCSS plans. Older versions of of of iOS will will continue to work. We're just no longer going to be able to going to be able to develop something that will work in there. What we generally try and do is keep the latest the the the oldest version of iOS that you require is two iterations behind the current the the current newest version. So, last month, iOS, Apple released iOS eighteen. We've now updated the code we're using to, to to require iOS, iOS sixteen. Next one over. We have a couple of a couple of little two little changes in our in related to colors in the bill of materials. The first one is we have added a a a new and improved slider for when you're actually using when you're setting a fill for your bill for for your shapes for for for the shapes within your bill of material groups. This is a single one. It gets rid of previously, we had a toggle and then we had a slider that you would have to first turn the fill on and then set what the set what it is. We realized that the use case behind that really didn't make a lot of sense. And so now the the the slider itself controls whether or not there is or is not a fill. If you do not wanna fill for your for your for your bill of materials groups, take it all the way to the left hand side. That is zero percent opacity. Zero percent opacity is transparent. And so that is that is what you get. The other change we made to it is the slider itself. You could make it really precise all the way from zero to one hundred. The reality is we haven't really seen someone who was like, I truly need a forty three percent color fill on this. So what we've done is we went on ahead and put some steps into it. Basically twenty five, fifty, seventy five percent or all the way or all the or max opacity that we that we have available. So now it's quicker to set and it is more consistent. You're not going to have these shapes that are like just a tiny little bit off from one another. We hope we hope it's something that makes a little bit clearer, a little bit easier for for you all going forward. The other option we have and it is related to that bill of to that color and bill of materials is being able to use our set size feature. We realized when we rolled out our set size feature, set size allows you to draw a rectangle, a circle, or now a ruler that is a pre that is a preset length or preset dimensions. We realized that if you were in our bill of if you were in our bill of material group lock and group lock means that any annotation you add to the sheet automatically goes into a particular group. So it makes it easier to put these annotations in these these quantities that you're trying to measure into where you want to measure them. With that in that mode, you couldn't actually open the set size feature in iOS. It was blocked by another it was blocked by another command. So we went on ahead and made this change to it. If when you are in group lock on iOS, you attempt to draw an annotation that you can use the set size feature on, click a color picker in the bottom right hand corner. It will bring up the menu like you see here. The color you cannot change. The color is set by the group that you are in, but you are able to use the set size. You can go ahead and start drawing those, you know, those those sidewalk flags that you're installing forty of, and they are all four feet by five feet or five feet by five feet. You can just go ahead and start using them. It will go into the appropriate group when you do it, and I I I really hope this makes life easier for at least someone out there. Because otherwise Andrew's gonna get upset at me because we did something no one likes. Well, this is great. I mean, we always hear from customers for why we need to do these things. Right? So for this particular item, was a lot of things of of, say, installing concrete around a a manhole was was one example that we had. So has a set amount of concrete each time. So just do that and then run the group through our calculator to get those final quantities with your yield included. So hopefully this adds some value to the guys using takeoff and sub plans. Okay. Next one up. This one, it's already been around, but we realized that the the provider we use for this service, our cloud our our our our file picker had made a change to their integration, and it was made it so you couldn't actually access cloud storage through through plans. So we we went in, we updated, we we made the correction. Cloud storage is now working as as intended. And I just kinda wanted to take the chance to put out again, you can use, you know, you can link your preferred cloud storage. We have several available and pull your files, not just plan sets, but it also any sort of pro any sort of project file, any sort of sheet attachment. You can go ahead and pull them out of that pull them out of that cloud storage source and include them in and include them in your plans project. Very cool. And, John, when they when they get included in the plans project, is that also pushed down to the field as part of the the documents that go down there? Yep. Absolutely. It goes into that it goes into the project files or the sheet attachments, and then anyone within the anyone within the project can go ahead and can go ahead and view can go ahead and view those. So a great way to distribute out, like, like, like, like, spec books or specification information, some a a daily field report templates or, you know, anything that you want other people within the project to to be able to access and make sure they are accessing the version you want them to access. That is that is now that is now available and working as we intend it to work, which is really important. No. That's that's awesome. I think I think plans continues to, continues to add a lot of great functionality there around document sharing and getting it getting especially staying it down to the field. So very cool. Okay. And our my final one here is we made another improvement to our annotation tool. There's one that we previously, it could just be a straight line. You tap here, you drag your finger across, and it cuts the annotation into into two. What we've now added is you can use a segmented line that behaves like our polyline. So you can actually draw a more complex shape in there. You can start that by tapping tapping outside the shape to initiate it, drawing that shape that you want to use within it. You want to follow a curve, you want to exclude, you want to avoid some other some object within there. You can go ahead and draw that or that around there and it can do it as a segment. And we also have our curve feature available So you can you can get some some some pretty precise some pretty precise shapes cut out of a larger a larger shape. And now I'm gonna steal a little bit of Reed's thunder, and I hope I hope I hope I hope he actually set up the poll question that this is gonna lead into because otherwise, I'm gonna feel really awkward. So my question here is, what would you like to see us do next with the cut annotation tool? We have made a couple of assumptions as we've done it, validated them such as you know, validated them against some some customer experience, but we do want to get more information. You know, how do you want to actually see some of these shapes differentiated? Colors for would you like different colors for them? Would you like us to put be able to put them into a different layer or a different group or to remove the original shape? And then finally, you know, hey. Stop being a coward and add this to web because right now it is only in iOS. Have results coming in not nearly as quickly as the Halloween candy. I do do know this requires a little more thought, so I understand that it takes a little longer to get to the answer on this. Let's see. We'll give everyone ten more seconds to get your final answer in. For me, personally, the first one is the Reese's peanut butter cup. That's just me, though. I don't know how Nabisco feels about you you you you're going over like that, man. Good point. Yeah. I'm gonna do a S'moreos next time with the the Oreos on the edge for the S'more and then a peanut butter cup in the middle. Looks like add to the web. So I don't know if everyone just wanted to call John a coward today or if this is truly the right answer, but would that everyone would know. John, I'll turn back over to you. Okay. Well, hey. Thank you all. Thank you all very much, truly. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna go ahead and find out what Higgins wants from me. So Alright. You read. It's back to me. This is the end of our presentation. Do we have any Q and A's left to answer, Adam? Sure, sure. There's a couple that came in there. So Todd was asking, for the time card history report, having the ability to filter to just time cards with revisions because selecting all jobs that had a time card entry during the time period selected is difficult with the volume of jobs that they run. So I guess it's more of a request, but some way of filtering based off of revision. Now I do believe within the time card history report and I'm I'm picturing the time card status report. Well, actually, no. I apologize. Time card history report. Yeah. Just being able to filter that to just time cards with revisions. So I think, John, something to something to add to the list. Anil? Do we have any other ones? Anil and maybe Britney for this one. Is there a way I can limit the PCO access to the field? Yeah, you absolutely can. So per each PCO, when you set it up in web, you can choose if you wanted to come down to mobile or not. And then I guess another caveat there is there's always there's also a field in web tied to cost information that'll never come down to field. So even if your general information is coming down, we purposely exclude the cost information from coming down. Yeah, think that's great. And for anybody that has not tried out PCLs or filling them out either in web or, I guess, in web only. That's an access group setting that you can turn on. And then to get it down to field is a credential setting within the user group inside of credentials. Yeah. I want to chime in on that, too. If you're kind of wondering, why do my foreman need to see my PCOs? Or maybe you're new to the PCO process and you're kind of like, what's the benefit of showing them that? What we've heard from a lot of folks is getting scope changes out to your foreman, making sure that they're installing the right thing when things changed. This is supported pretty well with this process. You can assign or attach RFIs or issues to your PCOs that will get communicated to your foreman if they use the project controls field app, and then they also can see attachments. So if you're attaching any kind of photos or documentation emails from your project owner indicating change of scope and you got the green light to do it from your project owner, you can go ahead and say show in field, and then now your foreman can see that updated scope. Excellent. We also got a question about were the award finalists read off already? Yes, they were. We can go back for those of you might have joined a few minutes late we can show you exactly who they are. So we have let's see. Preston Companies, Jordan Foster Construction, Underground Construction, and Tri State. Those are everyone that was nominated, for anyone that joined us. And I just wanted to reiterate that everything that we got from our customers was pretty exceptional. It was really difficult to to narrow down, but I am thankful that everybody that did submit something really gave us their best. And the only reason why I wanted to highlight this during the heavy job monthly webinar is because all these people in front of you, the resources that you have being in front of Adam and Andrew and Anil and Brittany and Reid, these are great resources. So anytime they ask you to write down their email, you probably should write down their email and give them, harass them because John's willing to call allow you to call Matt Coward in life. But I've been on every single one of these webinars for the past, what has it been, five years or so? Adam? I don't know. He they even find a way to host live monthly webinars during UGM because you guys are the most important part of it. So if I could be a resource or any of these people could be a resource, please make sure to reach out to us. And again, thank you so much. When is UGM, Chi? It is February the seventeenth. The week of. We're twenty degrees warmer than we normally are for this time of year, so my claws are crossed that we will also be warm for you in February for anybody that wants to come down and join us this year. And if anybody missed the batting practice last time, I think that it's a first come first serve basis. Don't hold me to that. But if you get down on the field in Minute Maid Park, hit some balls out there. Or at least getting that bad. Yeah. Oh, that was fun. Do we have any more questions that have come in? Yeah, Reed, let's jump a couple of slides forward. The one more. Two more. And a bit keep going. One more. There it is. So I was thinking, about this. So previously, we've always generally, the way I'll train foremen, it'll say, come into your time card, hit the first button, which is copy, pull info, hit the first button again, which is copy previous time card, and then boom, I've got my time card ready to go for the day. That is handy if I'm working on similar stuff yesterday. It pulls in my crew automagically, but it also pulls in my cost codes from yesterday. The new copy previous crew is gonna be super handy if I'm going from job A to job B to job C. Even within a day, don't wanna do a multi job time card. I can grab whatever crew I used most recently, which will be really handy. But to get your gears turning about how you may encourage your foreman to use this or even train future foreman to pretend that first button doesn't exist, I do hear a lot of, Oh, I worked on this cost code yesterday. I copied yesterday's time card. We're going to work on that again tomorrow, so I'm just going to leave it hanging out on my time card. And slowly my time card gets wider and wider with a bunch of empty spaces in there because we didn't really work on that, but I don't want to get rid of that cost code yet. So we're thinking about, just using that copy previous crew so that way if I'm working on new stuff or mostly different stuff from yesterday, I can start my cost code list from scratch instead of just copying yesterday's. So that way, we can try to tighten it down. I'd say the, the best way, the, the ideal way of filling out my time card is I don't want you to have any questions in the office. My hope is that my paperwork answers all the questions you have for me so that way you don't bother me and I can do my job. And so if I leave those extra cost codes on the time card, then you might have, did you work on this thing? Did you not? What's going on? And so ideally we're deleting those and getting rid of them. We did add some handy long press a while ago, so if you didn't know about that, if you long press on your cost code up at the top, you've got an option to delete it from the main screen without having to go into the add edit cost codes button. But if you use that new copy previous crew button, you can start from scratch, so that way you can always pick the right cost code and hopefully have a cleaner time card that doesn't have that junk that I know always bothers me when I see it, and definitely bothers at least a few of you when you see those costcoats as well. That long press is also available for your crew, so if I'm looking down at Brittany and seeing a certain platypus, So if there's a platypus on my crew that was there yesterday but isn't there today, I can tap and hold on that platypus and then say delete this resource to clean up my time card. So that way I don't need to have questions about, was it there, gone, what happened to that platypus? No, it is really worth some time just having that conversation with the crews. Maybe it's part of spinning back up again in the spring if you do shut down at this point. It's literally in the 80s right now in Houston, so I don't know if we'll ever shut down this year in Texas. But it is worth reviewing some of these things. Actually had a foreman's UGM a couple of years ago, just devoted specifically only foreman allowed there. Half of it was just showing them things that are in the mobile app and the other half was getting feedback from them, which is a major benefit to us of users group meeting for those of you that have not been. We get a lot of feedback and we'll have a there'll be there'll be several thousands of you there attending it, but just carved off from the operations segment focusing on heavy job safety and plans. You know, we're we're gonna get eight hundred nine hundred people in the room for four hours, and we're going to start talking about what you want to see in the software. And it's definitely a good environment. But we did that with Foreman, and it was obviously a much smaller group because pulling them out of the field for a day is not ideal in many cases. But we did that a couple of years ago, and it was really funny because one of the foremen actually got the courage to raise his hands. He's like, wish it was easier because I fill out my time card yesterday, and then I get to the next day and I gotta fill it all out again and I gotta pick my crew again. The guy next to him just sort of like swats at me. He's like, bottle, like, you gotta use the copy crew, the copy the copy button. They're like, what copy button? And, like, it it it is something that is so ingrained in probably eighty or ninety percent of the form in it. They're just going to it. I guarantee you the other ten to fifteen percent just don't know what exists. Like, there's really very few reasons not to use it, and we just eliminated one of them for those that are working more the short cycle work where they just it's they're sick of having to remove the Costcos and stuff like that each time. So it is worth reviewing these these simple tips and stuff like that with the form and every now and then make their lives easier. That's the whole point of the app. It shouldn't be hard for them to use. So definitely, definitely make their lives easier. Try and get them those tips. And for those of you that interested, obviously we do have our regular users group meeting, as we mentioned, coming up in February. We will be back talking to you before then in January, but we are going to take November and December off. The last Thursday of each of those is a little busy at our household and hopefully yours as well. So unless anything has any advice, I think we'll stay by and wish you all a very timely Happy Halloween, but a very early Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's and any other holidays that occur until that first Thursday in January when we'll be back. Or sorry, the last Thursday in January. Excuse me. One thing I wanted to add to that is that while you guys are away not getting, fed any of these heavy job monthlies, for the next couple months, check out the academy dot h t s s dot com. It's a resource that that that team has really been working with product to make better. And I know that they've taken some some good feedback. They've got Britney's PCO, stuff in there, so I'm sure they'd have, some of these copy crew features that if they need refreshment, on figuring out how to do certain features or if they're sitting in their truck waiting for somebody to come, they can take a couple courses or just get a little two minute blip out there, out the way I it's an easy way, and it's free, and it's included. Anybody that has a login to credentials, which could be any of the your foreman can get into academy dot h s dot com and just learn more about the functionalities, take field tracks, and kind of have your online UGM course. And if there's any feedback to it saying, I need this feature or this was a terrible class, tell them to go ahead and make a comment because there's an entire team designed that that's doing all these design work and putting together these courses for you. So hopefully, helps feed you guys. I'd say one other cool event we're doing here soon in our office on November fourteenth and fifteenth, our own Dan Lisbonie, who I'm sure most, if not all of you know, is leading basically a how to get more out of heavy junk class. So if you're interested in that, want to come down and hang out where it probably will still be twenty degrees seasonally too warm, you're tired of it getting a little chilly up north or you want to just come out and see us at our office, email consultinghcss dot com and we can send you more details on coming down for the Consultant Connect. Awesome. Thanks everyone for joining. See you at twenty twenty five. Have a good one, y'all.
