Getting Started

1. 1The app opens to My Jobs — a list of all jobs assigned to you.
2. 2Tap any job row to open it. The job detail screen loads with weather, KPIs, and production data.
3. 3Use the bottom navigation bar to switch between Field, Project, Tasks, Performance, Forms, and Account.
4. 4Tap Jobs (bottom left) at any time to return to your jobs list.

The Field tab is your home screen for the job. It shows:

1. 1Job progress — percent complete bar for the project.
2. 24-day weather forecast with rain/cold/storm alerts highlighted in red or blue. Tap any day for the Weather impact detail screen (see Weather Impact).
3. 3Weekly Safety Inspection — red button when due or a draft is in progress (see Safety).
4. 4Assigned tasks — open command-center items routed to you (also on the Tasks tab).
5. 5Production Entry — enter today's units and hours per scope without opening the full daily log.

The Project tab is where you submit your end-of-day field log — work description, delays, deliveries, change requests, photos, and equipment on the job. Saving the log triggers an AI SITREP preview for review. See Daily Log below.

Use Tasks to record issues and site documents, and to complete command-center items assigned to you. See Field Reports below.

The Performance tab shows cost and variance KPIs, scheduled crew for the week, and the full Job History timeline for the job. See Job History below.

The Forms tab has two sections:

• Job Checklists — same blue banners as the Field tab (QC, closeout, GC Check In). Tap Help in that section for closeout details.
• Submit a Form — voluntary safety reports (Incident, Violation, Good Catch).

See Job Checklists below.

The Account tab handles sign-in, theme, push notifications, home-screen install, and shortcuts for which issue/document chips appear on Tasks. See Install & Account below.

1. 1Tap Project in the bottom nav bar.
2. 2Describe today's work in the main text area. Use toggles for Delays, Material Delivery, or Change Request when those apply.
3. 3Optionally tap ✦ AI Pre-fill or AI Pitch Assist to draft fields from your narrative (review everything before saving).
4. 4Attach site photos with Camera or Gallery if needed.
5. 5Tap Save Daily Log. The app saves your entry and generates an AI SITREP preview below the form. Followers, the PM, and superintendent are notified by email at this step.
6. 6Review the SITREP preview, then tap Confirm & Submit to acknowledge it — or Edit Daily Log to adjust and save again.

After a successful save you will see:

1. 1An AI-generated SITREP preview with production performance and a written narrative.
2. 2Email notifications go out when the SITREP is generated (right after save). Recipients include job followers, the assigned PM, and the job superintendent.
3. 3Your daily log and SITREP appear in Job History on the Performance tab.

Tap the ✦ AI Pre-fill button at the top of the Daily Log form. The app reads your recent job history and today's production data, then fills in your work description, equipment notes, and flags any delays or deliveries it detects — so you only need to review and adjust, not write from scratch.

1. 1Tap ✦ AI Pre-fill at the top of the form. A loading indicator appears while the AI runs.
2. 2Fields the AI filled are highlighted in amber so you can see exactly what was suggested.
3. 3Review every field — correct anything that doesn't match what actually happened today.
4. 4Submit as normal. The AI suggestions are just a starting point — your review is the record.

After you type or dictate a rough narrative in the work description, tap AI Pitch Assist (below the text area). The app parses your story into the daily log sections — delays, delivery, change request, tomorrow's tasks, and resources — so you can review and save without retyping.

When the office or PM routes a command-center task to you, it appears at the top of the Tasks tab under Assigned to Me. Open the task, add notes or photos, and mark it complete when done. This section hides automatically when you have no open assignments.

1. 1Select one chip from Issues or Documents & Logs.
2. 2Enter a comment (required for issues, optional for documents).
3. 3To alert the PM, tap the Escalate PM button beside the comment box. It turns red when selected.
4. 4Tap Submit. Your entry is always saved to Job History. If Escalate PM is on, the PM is also notified by email and the item enters the command-center queue.

Flag a problem that may need office or PM action. Select one issue type, describe what happened, and submit.

Record and attach site paperwork. Photos are tagged with the document type and appear in Job History under that label.

Equipment assigned to your job appears on the Project tab under Equipment on Job. Flag a service need from that list — the asset is marked In Service and the office is alerted.

1. 1Open Project and scroll to Equipment on Job.
2. 2Tap the equipment card and describe the issue.
3. 3Submit the escalation. Superintendents, foremen, and PMs can remove a demand when it is no longer needed.

1. 1Tap the photo strip or camera icon in any form. Your phone's camera or photo library opens.
2. 2You can select multiple photos at once — they are grouped into a single Job History entry.
3. 3Photos are compressed automatically before uploading to keep data usage low.
4. 4After submission, tap any photo in Job History to view it full-screen.

1. !Red card — rain risk (≥50% precip on rain/storm codes, or ≥70% on any day), storm, or snow/ice when temps are cold. Plan accordingly.
2. !Blue card — cold conditions (high ≤40°F with elevated precip, or snow/ice codes). Consider crew safety and material handling.
3. ✓Normal card — no weather alerts. Work as planned.

Forecasts update automatically when you open a job. Daily summary data is sourced from Open-Meteo using the job’s city and state.

1. 1On the Field tab, tap any forecast day card (Today, Tomorrow, etc.).
2. 2The overlay opens with the job ID, name, and city/state at the top.
3. 3The hourly grid shows 48 hours starting at midnight on the day you tapped — including the next calendar day(s). Picking Day 4 still shows a full 48-hour window when forecast data is available.
4. 4Tap ← in the header to return to the job.

Below the live radar map, two stat cards summarize the selected 48-hour window:

• Impacted work hrs — count of working hours (6 AM–8 PM) flagged for rain or high wind, out of total working hours in the window.
• Worst window — the longest consecutive run of impacted working hours and whether rain, wind, or both drove the alert.

Each row is one calendar day. Only working hours (6 AM through 8 PM) are shown — fourteen blocks per row, aligned to the time axis (6a, 12p, 6p, 8p).

• The left column shows the day letter (M, T, W…) plus unit hints: % (precip chance) and mph (wind).
• Each block shows two numbers: precipitation % on top, wind mph below.
• Tap and hold a block to see the full hourly tooltip (temp, condition, work/off-hours tag).
• The day you opened from is highlighted in blue.

Legend at the bottom of the grid:

The map under the job header shows animated weather radar centered on the job site (red pin). Past ~2 hours of radar frames loop automatically.

1. 1Tap ▶ / ⏸ to play or pause the animation.
2. 2The timestamp in the header shows the frame time.
3. 3Tap anywhere on the map to open AccuWeather in a new browser tab, pre-filled with the job’s ZIP code (falls back to city/state if ZIP is missing).

Radar imagery: RainViewer. Basemap: Carto.

Tap Share at the bottom of the overlay to copy a PNG snapshot of the weather impact screen to your clipboard. Paste it into a text message, email, or Teams chat to brief the PM or GC.

1. 1Use the search bar to filter by keyword — scope name, comment text, document type, or submitter name.
2. 2SITREP entries show an amber card with a production performance summary (scope bars, completion %, and pace vs. budget) plus the AI narrative.
3. 3Field Report entries (issues submitted without Escalate PM) and Field Escalation entries (with Escalate PM) are labeled in the timeline.
4. 4Tap any photo thumbnail to open it full-screen.

Each SITREP has two parts — a production performance block and an AI-written narrative:

1. 1Production performance — scope-by-scope bars showing units installed, hours, today's production, completion %, and pace vs. budget. Red scopes are behind pace.
2. 2Field leadership — superintendent and foreman contacts when assigned on the job.
3. 3Field notes — sections for work completed, delays, equipment, projected finish, and priorities.

SITREPs appear in Job History with an amber border. The same report is emailed when you save the daily log — use Confirm & Submit on the preview to mark your review complete.

1. ✓ Assigned — Equipment is on-site and operational. No action needed.
2. ! In Service — An escalation has been submitted. The office is aware and coordinating service. Equipment may still be on-site but is flagged for attention.
3. › Shifted / Reassigned — Equipment has been moved to another job or substituted. The resolution is logged to your job history.
4. - Unassigned — Equipment is not currently on any job. Not visible in the field app.

Below the progress bar on any inspection or checklist, use the How to view toggle:

• All questions — scroll through the full checklist on one page.
• One at a time — carousel mode with Back/Next; tapping an answer (including 1–5 ratings) advances when the question is complete.

Your choice is saved on this device and applies to Weekly Safety, QC, closeout, and survey checklists.

When a job reaches 95%+ complete, closeout quality checklists appear as blue banners on the Field tab and under Forms → Job Checklists.

Open the Closeout QC guide →

A checklist banner is shown only when action is required:

• Inspection due today — the schedule says today is the due date.
• Draft in progress today — you started the form today but have not submitted it yet.

Banners are hidden when the inspection is complete and not due again. A past submission from another day does not keep the banner visible.

Some checklists (e.g. General Contractor Check In) use a 1–5 rating scale instead of Yes/No. Tap a number button; ratings of 4 or 5 typically count as pass on the score screen.

Most QC closeout items use PASS / FAIL / N/A or YES / NO / N/A.

• Tap the banner to open the checklist (blue QC theme).
• Use Save Draft to pause; use Review Score then Submit Inspection to finalize.
• Opening from Forms returns you to the Forms tab when done; from Field, you return to Field.

Closeout QC guide (95% rule, pre-final → final) →

1. ? I don't see any jobs.
   Your jobs are loaded based on your roster assignment. If the list is empty: (1) tap Refresh My Jobs List in the Account tab, (2) confirm with your PM or superintendent that you are assigned to the job, (3) sign out and sign back in.
2. ? Submission failed / network error.
   Check your cell or Wi-Fi signal. Tap Retry if the error message offers it. If the issue persists, note the error text and contact your PM.
3. ? Photos are not loading in Job History.
   Photos use secure signed links that expire after a short period. Tap Refresh on the job or reload the page to regenerate them. Photo links sent in SITREP emails are valid for 7 days.
4. ? The app is showing old data.
   The jobs list is cached for speed. Go to Account → tap Refresh My Jobs List to clear the cache and reload fresh data.
5. ? Weather is not showing.
   Weather requires a city and state on the job record. If the job address is missing, contact your PM to update it in the JRCO system.
6. ? Weather impact shows the wrong day or empty rows.
   The grid is anchored to the forecast day you tapped, not always today. Re-open from the correct day card on the Field tab. If the first day row is blank, those work hours may fall outside the 48-hour slice or lack forecast data yet.
7. ? Radar map is blank or AccuWeather opens the wrong city.
   Radar needs a network connection. AccuWeather uses the job ZIP from the project record — ask your PM to correct the job address/ZIP in CenterPoint if the link is wrong.
8. ? Share did not copy an image.
   Some mobile browsers block image clipboard access. Use your phone’s screenshot tool instead, or try again from Chrome/Safari on a supported device.
9. ? "Your account isn't set up" error.
   Your email address is not yet linked to a person record in JRCO. Contact your administrator to complete your account setup.
10. ? I need to log in as a different user / sign out.
    Go to Account tab → scroll to the bottom → tap Sign Out. You will be redirected to the Microsoft 365 login page to sign in with the correct account.
