AB TIME CLOCK
•NEW FEATURE - Spread Time Method - [PMID Ref No 7676]
| The AB Time Clock App has been updated with a new feature that allows the spreading of time entries to be done by individual employees. Previously the only method for spreading the time had to be done by the supervisor. In order to implement this feature, a new setting has been added to the AccuBuild Mobile Settings Screen. A new group box has been added to the Mobile / Cloud Settings tab entitled AB Timeclock Settings which contains the Spread Time Method setting. |
oSpread by Supervisor - Under this setting, the supervisor spreads the time for all employees to the various jobs and cost phases. This is the default setting for the App.
oSpread by Employee - Under this setting, the employees can spread their own time.
oNote: In addition to this new setting in the AccuBuild Main program, the mobile stored procedure abm_TimeCardLookupControlSettings has been updated to handle this new setting for the AB Timeclock App.

•ENHANCEMENT - COR Link / Unlink Production Unit Items [PMID Ref No 4428]
The Production Unit by Detail Item tracking in the Change Order Request Breakdown Screen has been updated with new linking methods for COR Items that are imported from excel spreadsheets using the import option:
oLink Feature for Bid Item Master Record - The Link feature for Master Bid Item records that are linked to the contract billing system in the ESTDETL table now handles multiple sets of the same Bid Item in the same Change Order Breakdown. In other words, if multiple sets of the same Bid Item Number are imported into the COR Log, the linking features will keep track of the multiple sets of Bid Item Master records and related tasks.
oUnLink Feature for Bid Item Master Record - The Unlink feature for Master Bid Item records that are linked to the contract billing system in the ESTDETL table now ensures that all related production unit tasks are unlinked in the ESTDETL table when the links are cleared from the COR Log.
oRe-Linking Unlinked Bid Items - If a Bid Item is unlinked and then re-linked at a later time, all of the original unlinked tasks will be updated during the relink process.
oClear COR Link Feature - The Clear COR Link Button on the Update / Edit Production Unit Tasks Screen is used to clear the production unit fields from COR Breakdown records. This feature exists so that breakdown records that are linked to production can be deleted from the COR Breakdown Screen when necessary. The COR Breakdown screen has been updated to insure that these records CANNOT be used again for production unit purposes once the COR Link has been cleared

•CORRECTION - Reprint Contract Billings
The Script Class No. 700141 which is used for reprinting contract billings was not creating a new copy of the ClientInfoList table which could cause potential issues for users that had never generated an original contract billing form. This issue has been corrected.
