All right, looks like we hit ten am central, so thank you everyone for joining us today. My name is Reed Renfrow, I'm the product marketing manager for our heavy job products here at HCSS. We have an exciting webinar today with a number of updates. Adam's going go over HCSS at CONEXPO. So if any of you are going to be at CONEXPO, we'll have two locations and Adam will give you details on where to find us if you're going to be there and are interested, or if you know anyone from your companies that you want to send our way. John's going to go through equipment cost type for trucking. We will have some updates on rate set employee accounting codes. Then we're going go over meal and rest break improvements in my field. And then John is going to close us out with some punch list editing that you can do in ListView. As always, we'll have Q and A throughout the presentation, and at the end. So if you do have a question, please find the Q and A button, in zoom, submit your question. We should have enough time to take a lot of these live today, but we might have someone on here to chat and answer potentially as well. So we're looking forward to going over everything with all of you today. With that, I'm going to turn it over to Adam who's going to go over CONEXPO. What you're going to see there, Adam. All yours. Sounds good. Welcome everybody. We will actually be, I know many of you will be as well at CONEXPO in Vegas next week. I'm actually flying out tomorrow morning because I get to spend the weekend helping set up, but you'll be able to see all of us, almost all of us except everybody except for Matt at CONEXPO in Vegas next week. HCSS sends more than one hundred people there. We have two very big booths and Reed hit it one more ahead. Have product experts. We have a time card challenge. See if you can complete a time card in under two minutes. Y'all are all experts I'm sure shouldn't be any issues for you. I think our record actually from twenty twenty three was a minute seventeen. Definitely hoping to see some sub one minute times at this one. We'll see see what can happen there. You really got to be flying. It's actually not just the time card. It's safety meetings, diaries, photos and the time card. And then beer obviously. We enjoy it as much as you do, I'm sure. So come by our booth. And as Reed mentioned, we have two booths there, helpfully identified with the beer art there on the maps. So we'll be both in the North Hall and the West Hall. Looks very close together. It naturally takes about twenty, twenty five minutes to walk between those two just because it is so large. For those of you that have not been to CONEXPO and are going next week, it is a great time. We always have a lot of fun there and we encourage you to come by and visit. Come by and visit each day for all for all we care. Come by, share a drink with us, share some laughs. We'll have a lot of fun. So alright. I think I'll hand it over to John now to talk about equipment. Hello, everybody. So we have some overall trucking improvements. This is kind of under the the umbrella of trucking, but this new workflow works for all types of equipment. So if you're just trying to, you know, get more granularity on rented versus owned or different types of trucking that you do with different vendors, this should have some some cool options for you that you can try out. So, basically, you know, what you see here on the screen is the setup under the BU level equipment list. And what we've done is added a cost type column there, not to be confused with the cost type accounting code if you've been using that in the past. So a little bit different, but you'll see a drop down there that has all of your different custom cost types. So for those of you that have material workflows, you probably recognize these. You know, the custom cost types in the past have allowed us to kinda differentiate between materials, subs, expenses, different things like that that we use on the material side. And now we're basically applying the same thing to equipment and giving you that level of granularity. So if you just leave that drop down alone, it will just still cost that line item as a standard piece of equipment. But if you have a custom cost type setup, like in the example here as trucking or any any other type of setup that you'd like, basically, it'll switch those costs over to that new bucket. So, again, you'll assign this in the, you know, B level equipment list, but you'll see those custom cost type buckets on an as an option on most reports. Go under your column chooser, and there should be a section there that you can turn those on and off for different reports. And you'll also be able to see this in the web time card. So as you're adding these pieces of equipment onto a time card, actually, both in web and mobile, you'll see how it looks on Aneel's slide next. But you'll be able to easily see, hey, this is a different cost type. You know, if I've got foreman that I'm, you know, telling them to manage both owned equipment and trucks coming in, they'll be able to easily distinguish between the two. And it gives you just a little bit more flexibility around how you manage that equipment. So really curious to see how you guys, you know, work this into your workflow and looking forward to hearing feedback about how this works for you. So I do wanna turn it over to Aneel to show you a little bit on the mobile side, and then I'll be back with some other updates here. And I guess, what have you heard? Yeah. Absolutely. So similar to what John said, once you guys set that trucking cost type or whatever cost type you wanna set that's from your custom cost type list, we'll display that on the time card in mobile so that your four main main users out in the field can easily see if it's a regular type of equipment or if it's tied to a custom cost type. So we have that label on the time card in mobile and then also similarly in web. There's also a couple of new time card warnings that are tied to this. One is that if your if you have hours against that custom cost type equipment and that those hours, those entered hours, don't match that start end, runtime, we you can flag that as you can set those that time card warning in web, and then we'll flag that in mobile. We also it's not mentioned here, but we also do very similar for just regular equipment. So if you had, like, in my top example there, if I have one of those excavators or backhoes that my entered hours don't match my start and run time hours, that can also be flagged in mobile. And then the third new one we added was for if I have hours against a custom cost type equipment that doesn't have a budget, we'll also flag that as well. So in the example here, I I have four hours, against that trucking cost type. And if I didn't have a budget for trucking under, let's say, that excavate clay material cost type, that'll also get flagged. And then the last piece we added, is just the ability you're quite familiar with it with employees, the ability to copy the start end time from one piece of equipment to other pieces of equipment. So you can do that now, and you can also, create templates. So all of that will be in our release that's going out later today. Sounds good. I think there's some very cool things here that Jon and Aneel covered. And so I see a couple questions coming in, but Matt, do you want to go a little further on that? Yeah, I'd say this is really neat because you can keep your normal equipment as equipment cost, your productive stuff and your pickup trucks that you have to have, and then be able to have either your trucks, if I do my own hauling, but I don't want that to count as equipment cost, I want that to be trucking so I can keep it all off to the side. Because I don't know today if it's gonna be all my trucks or today it's all gonna be Adam's trucks that that I'm subbing it out to. So if I shove all that cost into a trucking cost type, that makes it easy for your foreman to write it down, and I can have a couple of my trucks and a couple of Adam's trucks on my time card all in one spot to be able to to put my time in. And then we can take that from the time card and say, oh, okay. Those trucks, those don't really count as equipment. We're gonna cost those in the the trucking cost type. So easy to set up, those additional cost types. In heavy job, if you need to, easy to go into the equipment list. And then even if Adam has four different trucks on-site for me, I could just say triaxle, triaxle, triaxle, all the same truck. So easy way to be able to keep track of Adam's trucks or John's trucks if I'm having multiple vendors out there. So really cool, different way to be able to keep your time card with all your equipment in one spot instead of having to go to to the materials and treat it as a material transaction. I think the entry here will make it a lot easier for your foreman to keep track of that and keep it all on one screen, easier to see for them, easier for them to write down. I think we we've known this was this is one of those issues that we've known about from a heavy job perspective for a long time. I mean, you have a hundred percent external trucks. You're able to handle those through the MSC module. It's it may not be as easy as accepting a delivery of stone out there but you can do that. You can mark a number of hours for a subcontractor your trucking sub or you can mark loads that they're doing for you in the MSC module. But as Matt was saying what happens when you have a mix of internal and external trucking or you're almost entirely internal? Then there's a considerable amount of setup you have to do. Heavy bid is obviously you're breaking things out into a trucking cost type when you're estimating it. But then because heavy job only has supported tracking labor and equipment via the labor and equipment cost types, you didn't have a choice. So you had to merge it back in and now you're not able to accurately look at your numbers in the past for when estimating from a production standpoint. So being able to keep these separate going forward and obviously starting here with equipment, think is a is a nice pickup that anybody with either internal or a mix of how they do trucking is is gonna enjoy. We have not we call this trucking. That's the primary use case we see around this. That being said, nothing stops you from viewing this with any of your miscellaneous cost types at all. There was a question and actually there's a fair amount of questions that we can go down the line. But I will handle the first one and then I'll start handing them off. But Brian's asking oh sorry. Yes. Brian's asking, will the cost type for equipment be based on a single character? So as you can see on the slide that I guess we can't go back on these slides, can we? On the slide there we go. Thank you. Oh. There we go. It's just a drop down. You don't have to worry about heavy bid is desktop is kind of locked into alphanumeric codes for all their cost types. In heavy job we're just going to tell you what the cost type is. It's a full code that you can put probably too many digits on there. Try and keep that short. It looks better on a time card when it's shorter. Eight eight ten digits is plenty. So yes, you can choose whatever cost type you want off of there. I see a couple people oh, sorry. I think that answers Eric's question as well for the dumping cost type. So if you're tracking anything that you it would essentially, tracking the the hours and the cost of running that equipment, and they can dump it into that cost type bucket. But yeah. So you can set it up for whatever cost type inside of your your web system to have that populate. Yeah. And just to add to that, in the web and mobile time card, we're making some tweaks to actually show the description there instead of the code. So for those of you that are coming from, you know, desktop or or just like to have, you know, a shorter code like x one, x two, things like that, you can retain that coding structure and then show the description to make it easier to select on the on the field. So whatever you have there in that description is what you'll see on the time card. A couple of people asking, is this only available for heavy job web customers on the full heavy job web? Yes. It is. So on desktop, we have some different trucking options that people have used in the past. This new setup that we're trying is only available for web only. Yeah. Kind of because the setup is contingent on being created in the web there. Obviously, for those of you that are hybrid customers out there, you get all your setups from the desktop, and and so it wasn't wasn't available. A nice little bonus, though, that's included when you end up converting to the web that you just get to be able to handle your trucking as well. Looks like Hal's asking, will outside trucks have to be set up in the equipment list? Depends on how you want to track them, Hal. Good to see you as well. Hope the weather up there is lovely. It's kind of hot down here. But I guess it depends on how you want to track them. If you wanna track them via hours on a time card, then they're gonna need to be set up on this equipment list. And then you can redirect them into a different cost type using the column that's highlighted there. If, however, you wanna just track them the way that you may have been doing in the past via loads or something via the MSC module, then you won't set them up here. You'll set up the the the trucking subcontractor, the trucking broker in these in the material and and subcontractor list. So you do it there. And then let's see. Brian's asking, will this change how they are exported to payroll? Alright so great question great question is what happens if in this particular case my dump truck is is marked as trucking instead of a piece of equipment does it change Do all of a sudden those hours that I've put in for it no longer get exported to payroll? And the answer is it does not. If if you are exporting equipment hours out, it's still coming off this equipment list. So it is still being able to send that out to your payroll team, to your accounting system. And it's kinda cool that they track equipment hours because not all of them do that. And if you want to blackball them, if I have my vendor trucks in there, a little bit tiny tweak to your payroll export to be able to leave those behind in HeavyJob. So I think we try to make all of our software as flexible as we we can, so that way you can do clever and weird things we wouldn't even think of. But particularly the payroll expert, we wanna make sure you can be extra clever if you need to. So if we need to blackball some of the the trucks or all of those, pretty easy to make sure we're leaving those behind. Sounds good. Alright. Well, if any other questions come up on this, be sure to let us know, but we'll hand it back, I think, to John for a couple other things. I don't know where we're at. Too many people with control of the slides is what we're I know. We've got several cooks in the kitchen, but, hey, that's okay. So special thanks to some of our partner companies that have worked with us on these features. We've had a chance to kinda work out the kinks with a few folks that are going through web conversions right now. So really excited to see how you guys are using all these features as well. This next one is another one that's that's kinda tucked away, we wanted to be sure to highlight it because a lot of times, you know, I get on calls with folks and they're like, hey. We've got, you know, workers that you know, they're super skilled, but we're pulling them over into other states. They're hopping from between unions. They're going between prevailing wage jobs and standard wage jobs. And and right now, it's just a it's difficult to keep track of all of those little details, especially, you know, anybody that's worked with different unions knows there's a lot of complexity. There's a lot of little information that goes into how they're being paid and and what they're being paid for and all those different things like that. So one of the ways that we chose to handle this and make this a little bit stronger workflow for you guys is to take some of those accounting values that were at the BU level employee list and bring some of those down to the employee rate set. So if you guys are familiar with the rate set, the screenshot is within an actual rate set. And then what I've done, you know, normally, you pop up on the pay classes tab. If you go over to the accounting values tab, you'll now not only see the pay classes section, which was there before, but also the new employees section. And so depending on how you have your accounting template set up for the business unit, that will kinda dictate which fields you see under this accounting group over there on the right. You see for our employee James Bond, I can see that his accounting code is double o seven and that the company he's working for for this particular union is m I six. So, you know, really great to add some of that granularity because we know, you know, obviously, some of the divisions and crews and union codes and all of the different accounting codes that we have can really make a difference between rate sets. So any jobs that apply to those same union rules, we'd recommend having those under the same rate set. But you can have as many rate sets as you need, of course, to to kinda handle those different rules. So as far as setup goes, there is an import and export. The export kinda got cut off, but it is on the screen. But if you go to your normal import values and go to accounting values, these will be under the minimum base rate tab. So that way you can kind of easily export those out, tweak them for the particular union, or however you're handling that rate set, and then get them updated as the union rules update because, you know, we know that usually happens at least once or twice a year. So one other important thing to add is that these codes do act as an override. So if you're, you know, happy with the BU level accounting codes, just leave these blank at the rate set level, and those will still carry through to the payroll export. No worries there. But if you need that granularity, at least for certain rate sets, you'll be able to do that in a pretty streamlined way. So let's see if we had any questions here. Okay. None specific to this, but let us know. I'm really excited to see how you guys are using these. We know union work can be tricky, and, hopefully, this adds a lot more flexibility, especially when when getting all that out to payroll correctly. Alright. So I will hand it over to Cassie now to talk about some of our new clock in preferences. Hey, everyone. Okay. So we went over this at UGM, but for those of you who could not make it, I wanted to make it clear here as well because we do have some new things coming out. So these are new clock preferences for my field that are customizable on the web. So we introduced the new ability for your users to be able to edit their clock events. And we also now have a de minimis time tracker. So this allows your users to track the amount of time they spend entering in their work information, answering questions, whatever they need to submit their time. So if you need this or want this for your users, this is where you will enable it in MyFieldWeb, as well as a new warning for your employees who keep coming to work too early from their lunch. This is also a new preference for a toggle in MyFieldWeb. So if you want this toggle it on. So this will notify your employees if they are returning from lunch too early before thirty minutes. I think that is basically it for this slide. There we go. As well as a new timeline audit report. A lot of you guys were super interested in this at UGM and we just didn't quite make it before the release before UGM. So now this is out and you guys can see this. So if you do have the edit times functionality enabled for your MyField users, this report will be will allow you to see any changes made to those timeline events. So as you can see here, it will be available by employee. So you can see for PKC here, you can see they've had four edits to their timeline events. So you'll be able to see the original as long as all the edits that have been made. And this is customizable just like all of our other MyField reports. So you can have this filtered down to however you would like. But for right now, this is just showing the default view for it. Pause for questions. Okay, no questions related to this. MyField Mobile, this is available in field and also in MyField. Now your foreman and your employees can enter in up to six rest breaks in addition to four meal breaks per twenty four hours. This is so we can accommodate, you know, our California customers as well as the other customers who have very strict union and labor law requirements. So now this functionality will be out in that little demo there. It shows a quick view of the early lunch return notification. But so now if you guys need this, go enable it in MyFieldWeb so that way your users can enter this information in so that way y'all don't have to do that. Now, it should be worth noting that this was a cross platform effort, so that does mean an update frenzy on your side to get all of the devices updated on the MyField side, as well as on the field side as well to get to be able to see that information. If we do have some that are updated and some that are not, all the information will end up where it should be for those extra breaks, just things like the field that's not updated, the form that's not updated, may not see that information as well. So, some things to keep in mind for those of you that are interested in this. Hopefully, you have systems in place to get those updates out a bit quicker. But if not, that is something to be aware of on things like this that affects all of our platform from the the field into the my field situation into desktop or, excuse me, into heavy job web. Yeah. And, actually, that answers Kathy's question. It is only for web users. Okay. I think that is it for my stuff. So I'm gonna pass it on to Punchlist. Oh, this is quick. Okay. Let's see. Hold for a second for the inevitable questions. Yes. John, you go ahead and we'll we'll get the questions. We'll catch all the questions afterwards if needed. We're then happy to more than happy to to to to to go on here. This this was one we heard about this at at UGM shortly after we released the the the the new punch list feature in HeavyJob. Basically wanted to be able to edit some of these items from the list view, didn't want to have to go into each individual item and make some of these changes, particularly for things that will come up while you're doing that end of day sync with your superintendents or your foremen or your crews who are out there taking care of these items. Just being able to have that list up, filter it to a job, and make those go item by item through it and and make those and make those changes to it. So for this, you're able to modify priority status, assignee, add add or edit the subcontractor, as well as add or change the due date here in here in here in the list view. And because I don't want to feel left out in the discussion of these questions, this is web only, but we are actively changing this right now so it'll be available for hybrid for for for for hybrid users in the in in the imminent future. No. Punch list is a is a great feature that that a lot of people have been getting getting use out of. So Yeah, and I wanted to speak in some generalities. That's always a question on these webinars. The way that we typically think about it, if we need to make a data based change, that is going be a web only feature. So a good example of that is to the amount of breaks, the amount of mills that we have, that is something that is hard coded, for lack of a better term, inside of desktop. So, you get no more there, and Dolby and web. Inside of Punchlist in particular, we had some other features that were web only with our change orders that we were integrating into. So there was a little bit of a pause while we figured out how to navigate that. But opening it up is is the intent because, really, the ability to navigate through this list and and do exactly what Bradshaw has shown up here on the screen is beneficial to everybody and and doesn't really necessarily require anything changing in that desktop situation. Yep. So hopefully I know it can be tricky, and we're here to guide you through it. Feel free to continue to ask those questions, but just trying to help you all think through it yourself. Yeah. To Julie's question, Aneel, I'm actually gonna go ahead and take this one. Currently, the punch list available on mobile if you have HCSS if you have HCSS plans. The job needs to the plans project needs to have a heavy job job associated with it. Support is more than happy to to to if you don't know how to do that, support is more than happy to to to take that through to take you through it. In the not too distant future, Punchlist is going to be available directly from heavy job field or HCSS field. There'll be a Punchlist module added to field. So you so your users will just have that one application that they need to go to all of their all of the all the tools they'll they they they that you want them to use will be in that one in that one app to navigate to, but it is still going to require a plans license to have that to have that mobile experience, to have that mobile that mobile option available for available. And then notifications. Notifications are coming. That one is also coming coming out very soon, Brian. But we're working on it. Brian's question is, you get a be able to get a notification when a punch list is assigned? So if somebody assigns a punch list item to you, would you get notified of that? So that's the question and John's answer is obviously yes, that's coming imminent to be able to assign people as the GIF is doing right now and assigning that out there. Looks like you have a couple of fans, John, in terms of the punch list is great. Thank you. Let's see. Question from Suzanne. Can a report be built I guess getting away from punch list. Can a report be built on the heavy job manager side to combine the info from the signature report and the employee detail report? Other John or Emily, don't know if y'all wanna cover that. There is a lot of things right now in the signature report, but they're looking to add the pay class to the signature report. So we're definitely looking at some different improvements to the overall signature workflow this year. The the tricky part with some of the signature detail is just, you know, there's so much data already from having so many little images coming through. So we're working on some improvements there overall, and we'll definitely keep that suggestion in mind because I can definitely see how making that connection between, hey. You know, here's the pay class that I signed for, and here's my signature. That definitely seems worthwhile. Signature report is definitely something top of mind for us. We understand, especially if you're running it for a long period of time, it can it can be a little bit slow to run. But just trying to pull literally every image that your foreman and employees have used to sign, whether that's in my field or in fields, it's just takes a while sometimes. So Yeah. Yeah. We'd love to know some more about that one. Feel free to reach out to us. One of the things that you can do in HeavyJob is to assign multiple pay classes to that employee for the day. Example, if they were to operate a piece of equipment for half the day and be on another pay class for the remainder. So that is something that we can do and the signature is on that overall hours. So just curious to know more that pay class and how you see that example playing through as well. That'd be great. All right. Let's see. So, well, one one suggestion would be nice to see signatures when reviewing time cards rather than having to run the report. So that's Steven's suggestion. I'm gonna make an assumption, Steven, that you're talking about when reviewing time cards on the web and not necessarily about reviewing them in mobile because a lot of times the signature is just being made on the field person's the foreman's device. Now if they are being signed in my field and having that pushed over to the foreman with the hours, that perhaps is another matter but I'm guessing you're asking for signatures when reviewing on the web just to verify that those are coming in so good suggestion there Okay Derek is asking about MyField in general. Will the HCSS chats functionality become available inside of the MyField app? So good question. HCSS chats is available with the myfield subscription currently. So the users can do what they do for for inspections and skill and forms, which is when they click on the when they need to do it, they would go into HCSS field and open it up, and it would be there. And, obviously, you don't need the the larger heavy job subscription to be able to make that happen. You're able to just use the MyField subscription. It's just not natively available in the MyField app. But that is something that we are looking at from the standpoint of how do we handle the functionality that is shared between MyField and Field. We understand it's not always easy asking your people to go log their hours in one place and then move over to a separate app even if there's a nice button that takes you there to do an inspection. So we get that and we're we're doing some research on that. Let's see. John, is the punch list information available via insights or direct access? No. Not yet. Okay. I'm guessing, Imani, that's a vote in favor of that just by the question. Unless you were voting against it, would be weird. Alright. So another question from Derek or suggestion. It would be nice when foremen are doing their time cards and they pulled in clock time if there was a way for the foreman to be able to see that an employee changed their time punches and what changed so interesting that's a lot of information there for your foreman to be reviewing Now I get why you want them to review it, and I get why that might be important. But it's putting a lot of information and a lot of a lot of action on them at that point. So definitely an interesting suggestion there, Derek, for us to take a look at. Yeah. And then Dan asking, are we able to improve the the resolution of the screens, make more items show on these lists for the higher resolution screens? Fair question. I know some of the screens were were a little bit we've we've gone bigger just to enable more. On the screen and we're looking at right now it looks like there's about fifteen punch list items we're always trying to configure it to to show enough information without making things really tiny and expecting the user to squint at the screen as someone who is advancing in age as I guess we all are constant thing we we look at but that's something we can keep in mind Dan is perhaps looking at something from resolution standpoint even if the browser resolution is able to take care of it when you're able to go down to to ninety to show more information on the screen, which is something I'm doing on a regular basis and and other software as well. So good question there. Yeah. Alright. Think we're gonna go over to Consult and Connect with Matt. And if you do have more questions, we do have little bit of time at the end, so get your questions in now. But with that, I'll turn it over to Matt. Awesome. Thanks, Reed. So I'm at Fiddler. I'm part of the consulting team, which is part of our professional services team. I'd say I generally don't directly pitch our services on the webinar today, but I'd say especially with all the discussion and chats we saw going through on trucking, as we add new features, some stuff is really easy to click around and say, oh, okay. That makes sense. I get how that works. Let me go turn it on, or let me holler at support, and they can give me the quick answer if I have any questions. Some are a little more detailed, like trucking, where it may be changing a lot of your processes and the way you write things down. So I'd say if you need help implementing new features or talking through, hey, how do other people do this? I've got a couple buddies that I can chat with. I know I can call support, and they can show me how it works. But I want to talk to somebody that's worked with dozens or hundreds of companies and so knows what works and what doesn't, that's what the professional services team is there for. So I'd say you can always pick up the phone and call support. They're going to pick up in three rings or less and help you out. If you need a little more detail or want to know the best way to do something, I'd say the professional services team is the one to talk to. We're going make you swipe your card first, but we'll be able to help you out and share our experience. So I'd say that usually starts at feature training for four hours for about two grand, and we've had a lot of customers that have picked up our continuous improvement program, so they've got a year to use twenty four hours, basically have the bat phone when we want to, hey, what's the best way to do this throughout the year? Or we're working on our code books or we wanna be start using T and M billing or, the pay estimate in, in HeavyJob, or I want to get some of the more advanced reports out of Equipment360, or we've got a whole bunch of new people that we need to train up and want to use our time to help you with that. So we try to be super flexible in different ways we can help you out, and the continuous improvement program is a good way to do that. Or if you happen to be in or near one of these blue states this year, We're going to be traveling out and taking the show on the road. So you can see in March, we're going to Baltimore and Boston. That's the last week of March. So we'll be in Baltimore the twenty third and twenty fourth, Monday, Tuesday, and Boston the twenty sixth and twenty seventh to be able to chat about Heavy Job and Equipment360 in Baltimore, my hometown, and up to Boston to talk about Heavy Job and Heavy Bid. It's a two day course. They're in separate rooms. We've got our heavy job people on one side and our three sixty people in a separate room, kind of review the basic features and remind you of all the cool stuff you can do, and then walk through the more advanced features as well. We've been hosting these at Topgolf, which is really cool. They've got some awesome meeting rooms, we've got some good meeting space, some good food. And then when we're done at the end of the first day, we've got a happy hour where we can hit some golf balls from the second floor and feel like we're really good at golf, and we should go try this for real. And then remember that normally you golf from zero feet above the green instead of thirty feet above the green. So we'd love to have you join us. There's a QR code here to sign up for any of our Consulting Connect events. The ticket price is fifteen hundred bucks. If you bring two people, it's twelve fifty each. If you bring three or more, it's a grand each. So try to give you a good incentive to be able to send a few people either in the same room or different rooms, kind of like UGM. You can divide and conquer and learn more from us and learn more from your peers and be able to chat with them. Thank you, Matt. We did have a few Q and A questions come in, so we can go ahead and answer one. Gonna answer Nicole's question first. She asked, there used to be a separate call to discuss HCSS safety. Does that still happen? How do I get added back? Nicole, we actually combine safety into this webinar. We're trying to do more cross platform things like map view, inspections and safety. So we talk about we're tired this webinar talks about plans, safety, forms, my field, heavy job, all in this call. We do I do try always put the agenda into the invite emails you get. So if you look at that email, you should see the day before and an hour before the webinar, you should be able to see the topics or planning to discuss. You can always come in and ask questions, but we did combine safety into this webinar. We don't have any safety topics today, but we will going forward. We do have we do have several we have a safety team member actually backstage in the webinar right now that was standing ready to answer any safety questions that came up during q and a. So there's more of us than just the eight or nine that you've been seeing up here ready to go in case you do have any questions. We have, I think Jason asked a question. Any plans on giving the dashboard more filter options such as a job filter? I think it has one now. This has job tags. Be able to filter down to that. I just want to talk about dashboard in general. For those of you that attended our UGM, we actually had one of our product test labs where we talked about dashboarding and what you would want to see in that sort of workflow. Right now, we sort of have that work in progress sort of workflow where you can dive down into what's going on based on the time credits that are coming in, seeing what's read and what's green and going from there. So overall, spent some time to ask you at UGM what sort of things you want to see inside the dashboard. We just got back sort of the preliminary results from our design team and are processing that and putting it into a game plan for what to do next. So, thank you all that participated inside of that product test lab at UGM. I think it's going to go far in what we do next. All right. Looks like we have another question on there are improvements coming for the kiosk feature. Think that's inside of my field. Love to see selections of equipment instead of just job time. Yeah. So I am currently looking into updating the kiosk functionality. So if anybody on the call has feedback related to MyField and even specifically the kiosk functionality, please email me. I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts. You can email me at Cassandra.May@hcss.com. And would love to hear your feedback because I know this has been a pain point for a while. So, definitely like the challenge of improving this. So, feel free to reach out to me. Perfect. Alright, looks like we did get a safety question. Gaston, I don't know if you want to come on to the stage with us, but Nicole asked us here is a safety question with the new California SV five thirteen rule that requires specific items regarding training and education be recorded. The re updates of skills to enable us to capture this. For example, we now have to include the training provider or third party provider's name. Gotcha. And if Gaston is may have stepped away from backstage. I know he was there about twenty minutes ago. Here he is. We have Gaston. Hey. So, Nicole, can we talk about that some more in detail? Shoot me an email, and let's set up a meeting and chat about it if that's that works for you. That's Gaston.Kurtz@hcss.com. Yeah, we know that skills is going to get a look at later this year. So it's something that we've already been looking at. And obviously it is really cool that you can create skills records based off of holding safety meetings and safety trainings within the safety system. So there's already some functionality in there that supports being able to handle what's expected out of you with the new SB five thirteen. But obviously, since we're already looking at skills, it doesn't hurt for us to take a look at something a little bit more specific for our friends in California for which we do so much work. Yeah. And I I really wanna understand the the the requirements a little better. I don't know if it's as simple as we put a new field there for training meetings or we just grab the recorder of the training meeting or we put a new field where you can put down a name or if there's more complexity than that. Very much like to kind of dive into that a little more. Right. Adam, do we have anything else? See some of us are trying to type answers to some of the questions coming in. So I'm not sure what will get answered. But I see a couple of you know what? I see a couple of requests for things that we will that we will manage with our own teams here. And I will finish it off with our our last unless Andrew does have a soliloquy planned I will finish this off with the last question from Nuno here fleet is not actually a topic of this webinar so this is more of our operations products everything under the heavy job brand Your time cards, job costing, plan sheets, docs, safety, forms, skills, my field, resource planner, scheduling all of that stuff we're going to cover estimating and fleet have their own have their own webinars that they do on a regular basis and if you are interested in those webinars that hcss.com will have sign ups for all of those And I said it was the last question. Instead I'm going say that Jeff can can close this out. Hey Jeff. Good to see you. But you can sign up as many people as you want on the webinar. So once again, send them to webinars. www.hcss.com. They can sign up for them. Once you sign up, it's a recurring, it's a monthly series. It's the last Thursday of the month. So we will be here next last Thursday of the month, which is March. It is March twenty sixth because we're in one of those weird things, February and March. So it makes the math really easy. It is March twenty sixth, ten o'clock central. We will be here ready to answer all your questions and ready to show you some some more cool stuff that we've been working on. Thank you all for joining us. And I think we'll we'll let you go. Class dismissed a little early. Bye, everybody. Thanks, guys.
