After the Foreman percents work on the job site and logs any labor used (Timecard Tab), he sends these changes back to the office where the Project Manager receives the information (usually via Project Express). To retrieve this change file:

checkbox Click on the Project Express tab to see a list of DPC files sent from the field

Warning

If more than one DPC Change file is in your Inbox, you must import them in the order they were sent (bottom to top i.e. Oldest to Newest). DPC Change files are incremental and build upon previous change files.

checkbox Double-click on the file(s) to import the foreman update(s) into the job

Project Express Tab showing multiple files received - be sure to import in the order they were sent!

Your copy of the job will now have all of the information the foreman entered.

Note

Project Expres files are stamped with Pacific Time so they may not reflect your local time zone.

Reviewing Progress

checkbox Click on the Budget Tab

You now see the % Complete and Earned Hours for individual labor cost codes as well as for the entire job.

Budget Tab - take note of earned hours

checkbox Your Earned Hours should match the Subject Line of the DPC Changes file received from your Foreman (this is only true if the job has only one Foreman)

checkbox Note the Est. (Budget) Hours in the Total Row - you will use this any DPM Package you send to field

checkbox Be sure to check the Notes Tab for any notes from your foreman
