Managing Client Selections

Customize Order/Delivery Status Units

Edit the Order and Delivery Status Units related to approved new home selections in ConstructionOnline™

BACKGROUND

Throughout ConstructionOnline™—the industry's leading construction management software—users are provided with numerous customizable field options that help them seamlessly manage all of the details and calculations related to their projects. Specifically within ConstructionOnline's software solution for new home selection sheets, Client Selections, Company Users have the ability to customize the Units available for designating a Selection Choice's Order/Delivery Status. Company Users are provided with 6 preloaded options to record where fixtures and finishes materials and/or items are at in the Order/Delivery process. But, in the case where users need more flexible options, ConstructionOnline™ provides the ability to customize the Units used within the Order/Delivery Status field—whether that is by adding new Units or editing preloaded ones.
