Module Walkthrough

Daily Reports

Use daily reports to record what happened onsite: weather, crews, subcontractors, work performed, files, notes, and the finalized PDF.

Product Proof

Screens tied to the workflow

Project field tab navigation
Daily reports live inside the project field workflow with safety, lookahead, deliveries, toolbox talks, punch, and manpower.
Manpower and field staffing map
Daily field records can be checked against manpower planning and where crews are scheduled.

Buyer Context

Why this matters operationally

The daily report is the job diary

Supers can record weather, crew counts, work completed, work in progress, safety topics, inspection notes, photos, delays, and attachments against the project.

Reports become backup

Finalized reports support disputes, T&M backup, schedule explanations, owner updates, and closeout history.

Friday helps clean language

Draft notes can be polished into professional owner-facing language while keeping the factual project record attached.

Operating Rhythm

How the workflow stays moving

Where it lives

  • This module is part of the project work page, so records stay tied to the job, customer, team, files, schedule, and financial context.
  • The project navigation is the customer clue: users do not hunt for this work in a separate app. They open the project and choose the correct tab.

What a contractor can do

  • Create daily reports
  • Edit report detail
  • Track subcontractor rows
  • Search companies
  • Upload, delete, and download files
  • Autosave field input
  • Professionalize wording with Friday
  • Finalize reports
  • Generate PDFs
