Alright, looks like we made it to ten AM Central. We'll go ahead and kick off. My name is Reed Renfrow, I'm the Product Marketing Manager for all of our operations products at HCSS today. And we have a few topics today. We should also have plenty of time for Q and A both about these topics and other ones as well. So we're first gonna cover with Aneel some HCSS field improvements that we think you're gonna be excited about. We have John on, he's gonna do a live demo of some new plan features and some new ideas that we have that we want to get in front of you, see how you like it, get some feedback as well. And then we should have plenty of time, like I said, for Q and A as well. As always, if you do have questions at any point throughout the webinar today, please go in to the Q and A button, ask the question. We should have time to answer a lot of those live. We also have product team members on to answer some of those chats as well. So, thank you for joining and with that, I'm gonna go ahead and get started and I'll turn it over to Aneel. Alright, excellent. Good morning everyone. So one of the things that we worked on recently is updating time warnings. This is specifically time card warnings that live in HeavyJob web. And so if you're familiar with our web system, you're probably familiar with right now, we have an existing time card warning that says if employees or equipment, have less than a specific number of hours reported, you can more or stop the formant from submitting their time card. We've heard a lot of feedback from you guys that this is kinda problematic, mostly because it's it requires employees and equipments to have the same rules, and that's not what you guys wanna see. The limitation is that they have to abide currently, they have to abide by the same number of hours, and they have to abide by the same warning type, whether it's a warn or a stop. So we listened to your feedback, and we've actually made a change, that'll be rolled out in the next couple of weeks. So can you go to the next slide, Reed? Yeah. So we split the the two different warnings. So now, you can have a separate requirement for your employees, and you can have a separate requirement for your equipment. They can have independent hour requirements, and they can have independent warning types. So one can be set as a hard stop warning. One can be stop set as a soft stop. Just let the the users know. And then if you go to the next slide, you can kinda see what it looks like on the field app, now that they are separated. We did this work in both the iOS app and in the Android app. This will be coming up in roughly about two weeks. We're gonna be released both in web where the changes can be made and then on mobile where the changes can be applied. I'd say super cool. This is something we've talked about for a while. Having the different requirements for your employees and equipment makes it a lot easier for you to set a standard for either of those that you care more or less about. I've had a lot of customers that struggle getting good utilization information from their fleet, or we swap crew members around a lot or wanna keep track of everybody and wanna make sure that we're accounting for at least eight hours in a day. And so being able to split those is super easy, and being able to use your attendance and nonuse codes, which I'd say is one of the most underutilized features in HeavyJob. So for my employees, if I say, hey, you've got to account for eight hours a day for everybody, I can say that they worked for six hours, the hours paid, hours worked, that's always what we start with. That's the most important hours that everybody cares about, the hours they're getting paid for. And then our letter code and our letter code hours. So whether they're tardy or they're late or they're excused or they're unexcused, you can go crazy in web with your attendance codes, and you can go medium crazy in desktop with a handful of attendance codes. In web, you can use every letter of the alphabet in desktop. I gotta scratch my head, I think we have up to eight. Adam Black can either nod or shake his head, he can't remember either. But generally enough to be able to track whatever you need to. Eight's the magic number. Ten on desktop, twenty six on web. Hey, Matt, question for you about equipment. Now that we've expanded more to that equipment use case, what would you find is the best practice or maybe a mix of best practices? If you have a piece of equipment on your job site, how should that be reflected in the time card and then with equipment code spending on being used or not used? I'd say the vast majority, probably ninety five percent of you, just care about the worked hours or the utilized hours for the fleet, which are the most important ones. But being able to say, hey, I want you to account for eight hours in a day makes it easier to be able to keep track of standby time. I needed this machine, but I didn't use it all day. So it worked for six hours, and then it was asked for standby for two hours so that way I can run a report. Hey. For the last month, how much was every machine on standby? Or I'm done with it, and you can come pick it up at any time, but we also don't wanna mob it just back to the yard to sit there if it can just hang out on my job site and it's safe and fine there. So I could say A for available for two hours. I'm done with it. I don't really need it anymore. And tomorrow, I'm not using it at all. It's just hanging out, but it's A for available, so that way you've got an easy way to see where your equipment is every day if you don't have dispatcher, and are we using it or is it just hanging out? And me saying it was A for available for eight hours is an easy way for any operations manager to maybe pre horse trade or check-in and let dispatcher know that, Hey, it looks like Fiddler has that three twenty that I could really use. He said it was available yesterday. Can I have that one in particular? Because I already did some digging myself in HeavyJob. So being able to record that is super handy. I'd say if you want to dip your toe into the water with attendance codes for equipment, D for down is the top one and the first one that I'll always pitch. I want to know what machine's broken down. The shop is responsible for keeping my fleet working, but operations is the one that knows the most about how much time did that machine cost me when it was down. So operations reporting, it was d for down for four hours today, and it was d for down for the first two hours of tomorrow, gives me an easy way to see that I, as operations, lost six hours of usage time of that machine while the shop came out and took care of it or swapped it out and got me a new one because they needed to cart that one home to take care of. So being able to use those attendance and nonuse codes gives you an easy way to keep track of it and also gives you some good data instead of, oh, this is the way I'll pitch it to the foreman when we're talking about keeping track of these non usage hours. Report the D for down, because I'm sure you know in your heart of hearts which excavator you really hope doesn't show up on your job site, but that's about you not liking that particular excavator. When we write down it's D for down because it breaks down all the time, then now we have data to say, it's not me, it's the excavator that is the problem. It makes it an easier pitch. Maybe the shop wants to get rid of that excavator as well, but they don't have enough data to help make that use case to spend a quarter million dollars. And so being able to capture that super easy and HeavyJob, and hopefully even easier now that we can say, Hey, tell me, used it for six hours, what was going on for the other two hours? Or was it T for transfer because either that employee or that piece of equipment went to another job site. I can put in my notes, Aneel worked for me for six hours and then t transfer for two hours, then in my notes I can say it went to Adam's crew. So that way if Adam forgets about him, payroll's calling Adam and not calling me to say, hey, where's the rest of Aneel's time? Glad, oh sorry Fowler. I just have a really short question because I fought all this time D was for dead, not for down. Is there somewhere that there's just I know Adam that there's a list of the letters that people can use and what they translate to and where people can find them? So they're customizable for everyone. During your implementation, we'll chat through that and help you set them up. You can go into your preferences to set those up on the time card. If I could tap on my screen, or if this wasn't a PowerPoint, I would tap on those seven hours for Aneel, it'll give me that slide out over on the side, and then there's another button I can tap for the attendance code hours, and it'll give me a double slide out, our patented double slide out technology. And it'll list out all the letter codes and that for an employee it's excused, absent, unexcused, tardy, or late. I've seen car trouble because I had a customer that had too many people with too many old cars that needed a little more help. Maybe they needed to get a scooter. And so it's whatever you want to keep track of, sick leave, jury duty, bereavement. I've seen just about anything that we need to keep track of. We set up COVID time a few years ago, if some of us recall that, to be able to keep track of that. So lots of flexibility for whatever you want to set up. And before we move off of warnings, I think it's important to note for equipment especially, getting back onto that, is the inspection warning that we've set up recently within this past year. More of a safety item with Jen and her team, but absolutely that idea of being able to know that you have those hours recorded against an inspection that's been worked, and that there was a proper inspection for that piece of equipment for that day. I'd say worth also noting that for each of the attendance codes, when we go to process payroll, they can have their own rules, and for HeavyJob costing, can have their own rules. So that T for tardy time, I'm not gonna tell accounting about that. As far as the payroll export goes, those hours are T for transfer. Those hours stay behind in HeavyJob, so we can track them. D for down for equipment, so we can track them. But as far as accounting knows, doesn't exist, not gonna happen. If we need to set up some different rules, there was a chat with my implementation team this morning talking about, hey, we're in California and we need to keep track of our drive time and I pay a different rate for driving between jobs. How do we handle that? I could have a D for drive for my crew and we can do some magic behind the scenes for what needs to go on there. So we can have some different rules for what happens when we go to push the time card across to your accounting system. We can also just exclude that entirely. And then when you run a cost report or an hours report, we could say, I want that to cost, or I don't want it to cost, or I want those hours to count against my hours budget, or they don't. So lots of fun different options to be able to make that do whatever we need to do. Like we had one question come in. What is the easiest way to reduce the amount of equipment shown on the list when doing a time card? Maybe eight hundred pieces of equipment only care about downtime on less than one hundred and fifty? Oh, generally, I'd say we'll try to filter, so there's some caveats. If we have safety, HeavyJob and safety effectively have the same employee and equipment list, so where for a HeavyJob only customer, I probably wouldn't have the office staff in there because they're never going to be on a time card. If I'm in the office and I slice my hand open on the filing cabinet and I have safety, I need to have my name in that list so that way we can report that I sliced my hand open on the filing cabinet. Same story for equipment. If we want to be able to do those equipment inspections or pass that information on, HeavyJob and safety are the same list. Maybe one of my favorite things that we added for the field in the last three or four years, want to say, time's a blur. In your crews selection screen, there's a sort option. So by default, both employees and equipment are gonna sort either by employees by their by their name, I think, and then for equipment by their code, which is really their name. There is an option to sort them by recently used. So the half a dozen people that I have on my crew on the regular, they're at the top of my list, and then the rest of the company's alphabetical after that because I don't care about them. If I search for Jen, I can find Jen, I can add her to my crew today, and then she's back working with Fowler tomorrow. But when she comes back to me next week, she's in the bottom of the top of my list of recent people on my time card. Same for the equipment, same dozen pieces of equipment that I'm working on, so anything that I've used recently is at the top of my list. So I can actually scroll on that even if I've got five thousand pieces of equipment, all my normal stuff is right there and I don't have to search for it. So a little bit easier to be able to handle those. There's also some ways you can kind of hide them and do some extra admin work upfront if you really wanna do your foreman a favor. If your PMs want hugs and high fives from the field, they can do some extra admin work to hide everything and shrink that list. But I'd say almost all the time I just say, Hey, we can use the search, you can sort by recent, and almost universally form and go, Oh, when did you add that in? Oh, we added that in yesterday, but super handy. And so you've got an easy way to be able to see those. I saw somebody asked about the filter. So it's not in the filter options there, it's in the sort by. So, I think sort by code, name, recent, and the fourth thing that I can't remember. I've memorized most of the screens, but some of the dropdowns, they're a little bit harder. I just hope everybody has their iPad and swung along as you go through it. Yeah. They don't know there's alt code. Thank you. Alright. Looks like we're getting a couple more questions in. We should have time to answer these and we get to the plans demo. Can the new time card warning be used to alert the timekeeper that there are employees or equipment with hours that are blank, we have an issue with copying previous timecards and leaving the unused resources on the timecard, which can affect pay class codes, etcetera. That's a good one. So I'll generally say whenever I'm making a timecard, I want to get rid of anything blank, because when Reed is approving my time card later, if it's blank, he doesn't know if that person didn't work today or and I forgot to put their time in or I should have put their time in and it just it adds to questions and it adds to me as the person filling that out getting more questions and getting hassled and I don't want to be answering questions and answering my phone, I want to do work. So the better I do on my paperwork, the fewer questions and, things that Reed has to bug me about. But if I hit copy previous, it's pretty easy just to leave them at the bottom of list and not think about it. If you turn this feature on and say, hey, you need a minimum of eight hours, now my iPad's gonna bug me and say, hey, you don't have any time for Jen. What did Jen do today? And so I'll say, oh, okay, let me long press on Jen from my main time card screen and just delete her because she went back to her regular crew. I was only borrowing her for one day and she's gone, or she's gonna be back tomorrow. So let me put in the excused or tea for transfer to another job for eight hours. So that way it's easy for me tomorrow not to have to search the list and add her back in. So I'd say, as a rule, as much as you can, encourage your foreman, your crew leads to clean up anything they're not working on. We added again a few years ago another one of my favorite things, because I asked for it. If you long press on the main screen, you can delete both your cost codes, you can delete your employees, you can delete your equipment. You don't have to go into the crew or the cost code picker, could just long press to be able to get to that. Alright. We have one more question that we'll take live here. How flexible are the equipment hour requirements in respect to multi job time cards? I have a superintendent that travels to four job sites with his truck and we require eight hours of truck time per day. Will the warnings require him to have eight hours per job site or does it base it off total hours per day? Oh, that's a good one. We were talking about this in the implementation chat this morning as well. So if you have a multi job time card, that is effectively two digital time cards that are taped together to make it easier to read and fill out your time card. But in reality, it's basically just we put them together and put some tape on it and say, oh, okay, this is one time card. When you send it in, we effectively snip that off, and those two time cards go to their two different jobs. So what that means is whatever your first time card is, that's the one that's setting the rules that we're looking on for these time card warnings, and it's doing the total for the day. I think there's a caveat to that that Adam's going to correct me on. Well, Matt, I think the question is primarily, and maybe Aneel can answer this, is just what happens if, I mean, I'm sure they have the same rules across their jobs in this particular case, of what happens if the rule is eight hours per day, but they got two hours across four different job sites on each job site. So overall, it makes eight hours. But each individual time card for each individual job does not have eight hours. And Aneel, I'm assuming that we're good in that case. I'd have to double check, but I think it's kind of what Matt was saying, or else what my assumption was, is like it reads each job independent. So it reads the time cards off the first job on the time card, then applies it to the job. If I have two hours, again, and my time card warning says I need eight on that job, won't, it will flag me. Okay, gotcha. But I'll triple check. Sounds good. We we have some other questions that came through, but, I think we'll hit the plan stuff first and then come back around. Before we get to plans, I'm gonna turn it over to Cassie quick. Hello. Okay. So I'm gonna go over this really quick. So we are building an initiative to get our foreman and field heard. So we're building a mobile product advisory board. So we're here to garner some interest. If you're interested in signing your company up for us to come do some site visits and get some feedback from your foreman on how we can make our mobile products better, this is your opportunity. So obviously their feedback matters. So that way we can make their products work better for them and make their work more efficient. Reed, if you don't mind switching to the next. Yeah. So what you can do is if you are interested, you can enter this poll here. We'll gather up your information and we will eventually reach out to you to set up some site visits. We will do local site visits to Texas this year, but we will also be doing some site visits across hopefully next year. But even if you aren't local to Texas, we are obviously willing to do remote sessions if you would like. But yeah, so we're just really looking forward to garnering that field feedback so that way we can really improve our mobile products and make it work better for us for your crew members and field personnel. Everybody. Thank you, Cassie. I think we got a number of people answering the poll. Thank you for your responses. With that, I'm gonna turn it over to John, and John will take us through, a new plans demo. John, okay. It is yours. Well, today is apparently asking for help from webinar attendees on HCSS field, lowercase f, apps. Because today, what I'm gonna do is go ahead and show y'all, something we've been working on in plans, has been an update to, an update to the toolbar. One of the one one of the mow one one of the most frequent, the most frequent issue we we receive from field users on on plans iOS is that the toolbar is too small, too hard to see. It doesn't make it doesn't make sense. And, so we've, we've done a little bit of work. This is the this is the current one, and I'm gonna go ahead and, show y'all, the toolbar that we have, that that that we have developed that we're working on. And if anyone is interested in giving this a test, before we actually, before we actually send it out to the world, please let me know. John.bradshaw@hcss.com. But anyway, so here we are in plans. I'm gonna go ahead and very quickly switch over to our to our new new toolbar. So first off, it is it is larger. Those buttons are those buttons are significantly are significantly larger, easier to easier that that that does make it easier to see even in even in bright even in bright conditions. It is a it is a it is a mobile screen in the sunlight. There is a point where there's just nothing we can do, but we have we have moved that point back a little bit further with with with a with with with the with the with the the larger items. We've also made an effort to add in a little more logic to where a tool is instead of it just being a shape that may actually contain something that isn't a shape. Thinking about you, count annotation. We're going to like what the thing actually does. Is it an annotation that you use to measure a quantity or to to count something? Then it would go into into measure. And we're able to we're able to really focus on bringing the most commonly used items to the forefront. But if you find if you find the the count or the free form or the alignment polygon useful, it is still there. Same with draw. If it is a if it's something that isn't actually calculating anything, you're just trying to call attention to something in the sheet, that's probably gonna be in the draw section. More, just the generic. Okay. I didn't have a better place to put this one. This is kinda I I I have to I have to keep myself from using this as a crutch of anything that we anything that we might develop in the future that just doesn't fit anywhere else. Maybe I should either spend more time trying to make it fit into a different category, or if not, it's going to go into more. Then finally, settings. So for folks who are using Plans Mobile do these project wide settings, basically setting up a calibration, whether it's a scale calibration or a location calibration. That'll be in settings. And then finally, really just kind of going to the point, we have a recent bar. What we see is people just use the same annotation over and over and over again. So rather than make you have to bounce around between different menus, different toolbars, that work that you're actually using plans to document. As you as you're doing that, it's just gonna come up here. Recent is recent is where really where you can where you can live at. And then we're also moving some of these some of these additional controls like the lasso and the eraser over. Then when you act and then when you go in and you start doing those annotations, information about it in case, you know, for, like, the color picker, that is just right there on that toolbar. It's not something that's just kinda down at the down at the bottom right hand corner. And if you're not if you're not paying attention to it, you might not even you might not even actually notice that it's there until someone points out to you that, hey, this this is where you go to actually change the change the color on the on on that on that annotation. Another thing that we have with this is the toolbar is actually movable, so you can go ahead and drag it over to the side. You can also make it a minimized version. This is one that, if you're using plans on a, on an iPhone, this really does get a a a toolbar that that, that is a little bit more usable, on that device. The menu switches over. It looks a little bit different. It's more of a, it's more of a phone enabled. It it's it's intended more for that phone usage. All of the same info all the same tools are in are are up there, then that just becomes the most recent tool you, you have available. It can also shrink down in size. One of the one of the things that is a concern with it, though, is, toolbar is a little bit larger. It takes up a little bit more real estate on the screen. If you get a, you know, you get a plan set, you can have that, you can have the toolbar actually blocking a portion of the screen. So for when that happens, you need to see that thing that's at the bottom that's covered. You can actually just pinch down on it and that zooms it and that zooms it down and moves the moves the moves it out from behind, moves out from behind the toolbar. And so that is the, that is the new toolbar. If you are again, if you are interested, please let me know. We can go ahead and enable it for you. You can test it out. You can reach out to me with, with feedback from you, feedback from, you know, your the the the the the rest of your team. Would really appreciate it. We've already gotten some good we've already gotten some good feedback on it. We're we're currently working on a couple of those changes, and this is something that we're looking to, that we're looking to release out to the rest of the world by UGM. Speaking of UGM, John, correct me if I'm wrong. This is something we really started at last UGM to get a bunch of our customers' inputs. Right? Yes. If you were at UGM, you went through product test lab for plans. This was something that was this was something that was in there. A lot of that feedback that we had that that we had received there was brought into was brought in into this. So if you're going to UGM, sign up for Product Test Lab. Go test that stuff. Truly, we're not, you know, we're not we're not we're we're we're not just telling a story about the value of that. This we did make some pretty significant changes based on based on what we saw from the users at users at Product Test Lab. Yeah. And just to add a little more flavor to this types of projects, we know that changes to where buttons are can be scary. That is something that the field could rebel back on. John and his team has taken a lot of your feedback, has taken a lot of the feedback from UGM and has tested it multiple times with customers like you to make sure that we're going in the right direction. But it's always highly recommended that you get in front of it first, especially if you are, say, a support department for your company, to give it a test, make sure that you understand what it's going to look like before that release happens. And so, like John said, we have the option to reach out to John and get signed up for that advanced version to to see what's going on. Yep. So that is the that is the toolbar. The other item I'm going to I'm gonna go ahead and show is a very recent change, something, again, asked for at UGM as well as in some in some recent webinars. If you go to the map view in HCSS plans, and you don't have to zoom in for it, but I'm going to I'm going to zoom in for it because I want to because it can kinda show it off, is we have added the ability to measure a distance on the on the map view. So if you're on the map view, you can go ahead and just long press, and it will open up the tap to measure distance. You can go ahead and just measure out measure out a distance, and you can keep adding points to it just like you were just like if you were measuring distance on Google Maps, Apple Maps, any other, any other map provider. It's it's that same it's that same function except, we have it in h except we have it in HCSS plans now. Being able to drop down, choose different choose different choose different units of measure, and then that is and then and then the the the distance on this is actually being calculated from the map provider itself. It has nothing to do with the it has nothing to do with the the the measurements on the sheet itself. That means that one, it works off of a sheet. So if you're outside of the area where a sheet is at, you can still bring that up and it will it will and it will work. But I wanted to mention that because leaving aside a little bit of not quite being in the same spot as those as those measurements were, I actually got that pretty that that scale, I actually got that one pretty darn right. So I'm always I'm always happy to to for the opportunity to say that, hey, the way the the the way that you count the way you calibrate a scale on plans really will be accurate to what is what you can see out there in the see out there in the real world. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the difference between the hundred and nine point one feet and the hundred and ten point five feet is I'm just not the exact same spot. But that is, that is also out. That is live right now. So if you happen to have plans, you were checking out Field on your, on your iPad during Aneel's, during Aneel and Matt time, you can switch over to plans, take a look at this, and, and and see this, and see this out there. And that's all I got for that's all I got. I like that distance feature. I could see somebody say that planning phase determining whether or not that concrete plant is is close to residential. Use cases like that to use the overall satellite view. Well, here's a house over here. Let's measure it out and see how close we are. So I can see some uses like that, just being able to very quickly validate it against what the plan set looks like right there. Thank you, John. Ahead. Thank you. One more quick announcement. We talked about this at the very end in Q and A last month, so I wanted to put a slide here, is the HCSS update now has roadmaps, so if you want to see what we're working on next, what's in planning in a few quarters out, what we're currently working on for the next quarter or so and things that we've recently completed, go ahead, you can scan that QR code there. I'll put the link in the chat. Go to our roadmap site, there's a lot of great information there, all of our product updates, and now what's coming next is available there as well. With that, I'm gonna turn it over to Matt to talk about Consultant Connect. So Dan and Ken were just out in sunny San Jose, California this week. I think they're flying back today actually. And so would love for any of you that weren't able to join us there, to be able to join us in Orlando here a month from this week. We'll be doing another Consultant Connect show, just talking about HeavyJob followed up by we're going to Jersey just on the Jersey side of Philly, basically, in November, and then we'll be back for a home game at HCSS headquarters in December. But it's a two day focused training. First day is kind of a refresher on talking about stuff like we talked about today. Hey, here are the attendance codes and why you should use them. We're going to have to update our slide deck. Now you can have separate employee and equipment alerts, and you should really turn those on for these different reasons. Here's how you sort your employees with the most recent people on top, so that way your people are at the top and easy to get to if they're coming and going. So to show you some of the goodies that are in there that you might not have known, we added in the last couple days because you haven't read all the bullets and release notes, and show you some just best practices from our experience working with customers. Hey, this works really well. This doesn't work as well. If you put in the extra effort, this works really well, but it's going to take you, you're going to have to invest some time to make this happen. So over those two days, our hope, and we've gotten tons of good feedback, is that you feel better, that you understand how the system works, and you understand how you can get more out of it, and you've got a handful of things you can go home and start using yourself or start showing some of your coworkers on, hey, look at this cool button. We can do this and this and this, and then that'll make our gathering our WIP information easier. Or look look how easy I can kick out a T and M bill or put together my progress bills. So lots of cool goodies that that we're proud of that we built into the software, but we know that just like the software we use, we don't have a ton of extra time to just go click around and say, wonder what happens when I click here. We know you don't have a ton of extra time to click around and say, I wonder what happens when I go here. So I want that opportunity to be able to come out and show you all those goodies. And then if we wanna hang out and hit some golf balls and have a good time in the afternoon and meet some future lifelong friends who are also HCSS customers, good chance to be able to network there as well. So scan our QR code, sign up. If you've got any questions, you can email consulting@hcss.com, or if you want to email me personally, matt.fiddler@hcss.com, two t's, one d, and we'll answer all your questions and hope you get to come join us and have a good time. And if those times don't work out, if you have any requests for next year, we're starting to look at what cities we might visit on our road tour, So any requests for cities or times that would work best for you, feel free to shoot those our way as well so we can try to put you on the map. I think we're going to talk about that a little bit at UGM as well, coming up in January. Right. Thank you, Matt, and I think we still have a few Q and A questions before we wrap up. If you do have any more, feel free to go in and ask additional questions and this is our time to answer them. First, we add, we would love to see this feature copy all time cards forward available in HeavyJob web. We're filling out our time cards in web, and so I want to start with the here's all my people on this project kind of thing. Good feedback. That's an interesting one. I think I think it comes, you know, we're talking in the back channel a little bit. I think it does come from the old specialty time cards and HeavyJob desktop perhaps. And so moving moving them forward within, it's able to copy each of the various parts of a time card, I think, is where we're going. Have to talk more about that with Eugene. Just make sure we understand the use case correctly on that one. Oh, and she says I'm correct. So we will we will be in touch, but good to see you here. There's a question going back to the mobile stuff we showed off. When is it actually going be available on HeavyJobWeb? So I know it's not out today. When is that going to be available on the web? Yeah. About two weeks. It'll be in our next field release. And then so once the iOS team does their release, then we'll have the we'll do a coordinate release with the web team as well so they can enable it. Very cool. Obviously, we have our our big quarterly releases, but this is one of those ones which we're going to get out as soon as we can to y'all because we know y'all are going to know a lot of you are going to turn it on and use it. Next question from Kevin. Could you set up a warning with a minimum of one hour to create an alert? So how customizable is the minimum amount of hours? Absolutely. So that's a good way if the the goal is to keep your employees from copying yesterday's time card and leaving some people blank, that's a good way that their iPad's just gonna annoy them and say, hey, you forgot to put time in for Bob. Oh yeah, Bob's gone, let me get rid of Bob. So it's a good way if you're less concerned about making sure if we, have the number of hours and more concerned about their cleaning up the, I don't wanna call employees and equipment junk, but they're cleaning up the potential confusion on their time card, that's a good easy way to do it. I'd say also circling back to the question earlier, we did some live testing behind the scenes while Bradshaw was talking about plans, and so it is we were second guessing. The more complicated a feature, the more it's like, I think it works like this, but oh, now that I'm thinking, let me double check. So we did some double checking, it is looking for the whole time card. So if I have a multi job time card, two hours, two hours, two hours, two hours, that's eight hours for the day. That is at or above my eight hour threshold. So we are good to go there. All right. And then I think, Gen is asking a question. Any chance we get lat and long to auto populate on the job setup once the address is entered? Andrew, do you want to cover that one? Yeah, we should be doing that today. One of the things that we do not do inside of HeavyJob is if you already have a latitude and longitude in that field, we don't overwrite that on a new entry. So that should be wired up for both importing that information in from HeavyBid as well as entering it into that field directly. I had to pull up the zip code seven seven four seven eight. I'm testing it right now just to double check that we don't have anything going on. Yeah, it does look like I'll follow-up with what is going on. Yeah, it is populating for me after I press the save button. So if you're not seeing that same thing, free to reach out to our support and we'll figure it out. But we do use the address field to populate latitude and longitude inside of HeavyJob to display on the map view inside of HeavyJob as well as a few other things. I've seen sometimes it struggles, and it can't quite figure out exactly where it is. But almost all the time, as soon as you hit that save button, there's your PIN. Looks like we got another question in from Jason. Will the time card entry screen ensure you quantity to date versus total budget quantity at the cost code level? Web or mobile? Because I'm fairly certain. I think both should show that unless I'm just completely misunderstanding the question today. Mobile. Okay. Yeah. Mobile test it as well. The total quantity would be total across all four main, and then right under that is the budgeted quantity that's set in the setup. That was one of the few cross foremen. So if we're all working on the same project and we all report one hundred feet, it's going to show me all of the quantity that we all reported. Or if I'm coming in later in the job to finish up a cost code that somebody else started, I can already see how many quantities we've completed to date, which is super cool. Worth mentioning as well, because it's cool, The hours total on the top right of the time card is the other cross foreman reporting. So I can say show me the total hours and it'll show me the total submitted hours for the week for my crew. So that way if somebody was working on with somebody else earlier in the week, I can still see their total hours through what I've filled out so far, which is super cool. Regarding the cost information, I have a similar one coming in from Hal. Hal, you love having the cost codes available on iPad in the work plan. Thanks for that. That was, I think, a great feature add for everybody here. The costing and budgets are great, but we really need to see unit costs. Is tomorrow too soon to have that? So, yeah, I think that's a good one to add in as well. Aneel, we'll have to do some investigation to do the unit costs within that screen as well. Yeah, absolutely. Lens question came out. Looks like they like the distance feature, but they wanna see it on the web. Yeah. And as far as how we plan to tackle our web approach, so that is within our new map view inside of HeavyJob. You will be able to see some new features coming and being developed on that one. Right now, it does contain just HeavyJob information, specifically photos, as well as information in from HCSS Telematics, so you'll able to see both the photos on your job site as well as where your equipment is within that HeavyJob map view. Coming soon, we're adding in some safety data, and we're adding in what I'm really excited relates back to John Bradshaw's world, an overlay of the plan sheet inside of that web map view. So that is a recent release for our web platform. Excited to see what else we can get out. We'll add that to our customer requests. Right now, that is precisely where we're at for our map view. What else do you want to see in web and measuring distance? That's one that I assume could be supported if we can do it in one map that Apple or Google gives us, we should be able to do it in the rest. So thanks for that feature request, that's precisely what we're looking for right now. All right. And guys, we can continue to answer questions. We love this. These are great questions. Brian's asking, any intention of providing a time card warning if an employee's time overlaps in a single day? For example, two separate time cards at the same times. So it sounds like that is not a multi job time card in this case, but it is two separate time cards on the same day, though. Typically, and I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna speculate here, Brian. You're welcome to correct me with another question. I'm gonna speculate that we're looking at somebody that is shared across multiple crews, and so they're showing up on multiple foreman's time cards. Otherwise, the foreman probably should be using a multi job time card. But in this particular case, it's a multi foreman time card issue in which there's two foreman running two different crews and somebody is shared across it. And how do you then utilize the time card warnings in that particular circumstance? And the answer is we don't have a good answer for you on that one. Does not work in that particular case because the time cards exist locally on the iPads or the Android tablets, whichever ones ahead of time. So that is something that I think we're gonna have to going to have to figure out a different way, probably through some sort of exceptions reporting. I do have a payroll exceptions report. We do have a good way that says, show me anybody that was reported by more than one foreman in a day, which I'd say every accounting person that's on this call that processes payroll should be running the exceptions report. Sometimes daily, if you want to have a kind of running total of, I'll call it the find my weirdos report. Some of them may be, hey, they work for half a day for this person and half a day for this person. Cool. That makes sense. Oh, they work for eight hours for both this person and this person? Let me go double check that one and make sure that I don't think they work to double, but I can double check. So the exceptions report, that is one of the many check boxes you can check off. Show me anybody that worked more than ten hours in a day. Show me anybody that worked less than four hours in a day. Show me anybody that worked with multiple foremen in a day. Show me anybody that worked more than sixty hours in a week. So you got lots of different rules you can basically turn on, turn off there and set your thresholds for what's an acceptable number for you. And then it'll spit out all the ones that you probably wanna put a second set of eyes on just to make sure that we didn't miss anything just from our normal time card approval process. Super handy, but it's all got to come in to the manager system to be able to compile that and see that, hey, it looks like we have that person twice. All righty. And our final question, I think, which we're going to throw to Andrew because Jonathan is out on his honeymoon right now. But Matthew is great in the web for equipment to display. Does the equipment have to be on the job time card or associated with the job and be within the job geofence so it shows up? I noticed you cannot just see all equipment in that view. We did limit it to associated to the job to show up in that list. We wanted to make sure that there was some sort of association to to limit that list view down. This gets into the difference of how we thought about map view between operations map and telematics map, right? And so this is built for operations. We wanted to build it around this concept of a job, that the equipment was placed onto a time card inside of HeavyJob, and so now it's inside of the job list inside of HeavyJob, and now I can view that information across it, or if it was ever in it, where it's moved to since then if I need that piece of equipment again. So we did limit it to that idea of if it's in the job list, that equipment can then be it will now show up and be selected to view all of the other information that we can get from telematics, such as the DEF levels, the runtime, all the information that we can get from telematics on that side. If you do have the need to see across all jobs where all of your equipment is, that's where we wanted to leave that in the hands of our telematics platform, to say this is where you would want to go to see that type of information and view it. However, if you think we've gotten it wrong and that's something that's valuable to have in operations, feel free, again, reach out to me at my email, andrew.fowler@hcss.com. Let me know why we're wrong because that's what we want to know. This map view, again, very new for the HeavyJob world and the operations world inside of the web, so we want to know what else y'all need from it. We had a question the exception report. I think this is back on the previous question for someone on multiple time cards. Where is that located? Do we know? That's part of the payroll export. So for desktop or web customers, you both have effectively the same report. So we're in the same screen where you're going to gather all our data from last week and actually create that export file for our accounting system. In that first screen where you're gathering the data, there's the the payroll exceptions report there. And if you're using the the built in one in web, it's in the the payroll export tool over on the the left hand side. Oh. Let me see it. And then yep. Adam's got it up. Awesome. So and I I'm on the web, obviously, right now, but this will work similarly to those of you that are still hybrid customers, but export requests. And after you go to actually create a request, you can actually just click on exceptions report here and go looking for your things here. And employees assigned multiple form a day, employees with less than eight hours, that sort of thing, all will pop up here in a in a very nicely built report, which I am not gonna run because I have no idea how bad my data is. But this is what it looks like. The hope is this is a very short list. And so if you run it every day, even if you're not going to process payroll, this gives you a way to say, oh, okay, let me just find all the weird ones that the robot can help tell me what I need to look at that might have missed me scanning through my reports and time cards and approvals. Sounds good. I think we're going to call it a little bit early this time, but thank you everybody for joining us. We'll be back next month on October thirtieth for our annual Halloween edition of the monthly webinar featuring costumes. And y'all are welcome to dress up as well if you'd like to and just send us pictures. Yeah, that sort of thing. Always great to see. But any event we got a, we got a lot of stuff to show you next month and we look forward to seeing you. But thank you all for joining us. Good one. Thanks everybody.
