Create Pending Entries for Missing Companies
Objective
To create new pending entries based on a previous day's entries in the Working Hours or Daily Construction Report registers.
Background
The Missing Companies feature in the Site Diary tool scans entries of previous days to suggest which companies may need to submit entries for a day. This can help determine what trades need to submit entries for a given day.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions on the Site Diary tool.
- Additional Information:
- Only the company names are copied to the new pending entries created from the Missing Companies page. The remaining fields will need to be filled out after the pending entries are created.
- Copied pending entries are independent of collaborator pending entries and do not affect them. See Create Site Diary Entries as a Collaborator.
Prerequisites
- Entries must exist in the Working hours or Daily Construction Report Registers on a previous day. See Create Working hours Entries or Create Daily Construction Report Entries.
