Create an Expediting Log
- In the Project Management modules click on Expediting Logs and select New Log in the top ribbon.
- Provide Name & Description and click Save.
*Note: Hitting Save is good practice.*
- It tells the system to send the log to the sub-folder for storage.
- After Save is initially clicked, the Log will update automatically.
The idea of the expediting log is that you are going to work with specifications provided to you at the beginning of the project, calling out THE scope of work specific to a unique CSI code, in turn, allocating that scope of work to subcontractors.
- Select newly created Log and click Import in top ribbon bar.
- After selecting Import the screen will refresh. Then you are presented with an opportunity to browse your local environment for that import file. **The reference sheet name should be equal to tab title in excel file.**
Note: If utilizing our template, there is no need to change row one header. As long as you don’t change the row's header, then there will be nothing to adjust on the following mapping screen after import is clicked. All specifications and scope of work will now be imported into the StratusVue website from your spreadsheet.
Division Description = Header
CSI Code = Scope of Work
- Click Import Log after all mapping is done to import information into your log.
- Items cannot repeat within CSI Code of Import Spreadsheet
- The first 6 rows are the only required fields in the Import Spreadsheet
