PREREQUISITES 

• Punch List Items serve as "parents" to Item Issues. By marking an Item as "Complete," you will be prompted to confirm that this also marks all of the Item's Issues as "Complete" as well. 
  • Similarly, when marking an Issue that has been "Completed" as "Incomplete," you will be prompted to confirm that this also marks the parent Item as "Incomplete" as well. 

STEPS TO MARK PUNCH LIST ITEMS AND/OR ITEM ISSUES AS COMPLETE 

1. Navigate to the desired Project via the Left Sidebar.
2. Select the Project Tracking tab and choose the Punch Lists category.
3. Click on the desired Punch List to open it.
   1. If the list is stored within a Folder, drill down to the specific list by clicking on & opening the relevant Folder(s). 
4. Within the desired list, mark the check box ☑️ next to the Item and/or Item Issue you wish to mark as "Complete". 
   
   1. If choosing to mark an Item with incomplete Issues as "Complete," confirm that by marking an Item as "Complete" you will also be marking its respective Issues as "Complete" by clicking the "Continue" button. 
      
      
5. Items and Item Issues that have been marked as "Complete" will have a blue checkmark. 
   1. Items & Item Issues that have been marked as "Complete" can be unmarked at any time by clicking the check box ☑️ next to the Item or Item Issue you wish to unmark. 
      1. Choosing to mark a "Completed" Issue within a "Completed" Item as "Incomplete" will prompt you to confirm that by marking this Issue as "Incomplete" you understand you will also be marking the Item as "Incomplete". 
         
         

BEST USE

Construction punch lists are notorious for requiring communication and coordination across a variety of team members. 

For any members of your Project Team (including Company Employees, ClientLink™ Users, and/or TeamLink™ Users) that need to be able to track project progress through ConstructionOnline™ Punch Lists, consider the following permissions options: 

• Assign team members who need to see and edit every Item on the list, and edit the list itself, as a Punch List Editor during list creation or modification 
  • Punch List Editors have full access to the list at hand, which includes the ability to mark Items and Item Issues as "Complete" 
• Assign team members who need to view and edit Items (and their respective Issues) as an Assigned Resource to specific Items during creation or modification 
  • Assigned Resources have limited access to the list at hand, and can only mark Items and Item Issues as "Complete" if they have been added as an Assigned Resource to that Item 

ALTERNATIVE ACCESS

Item Issues can be marked as "Complete" from the Item Issues tab by following these steps: 

• Navigate to the desired Project via the Left Sidebar.
• Select the Project Tracking tab and choose the Punch Lists category.
• Click on the desired Punch List to open it.
  1. If the list is stored within a Folder, drill down to the specific list by clicking on & opening the relevant Folder(s). 
• Select the Item Issues tab in the top right corner of the Punch Lists pane. 
  
  
• Within the Item Issues tab, mark the check box ☑️ next to the Item Issue you wish to mark as "Complete". 
  • "Completed" Item Issues will be signified by a blue check mark and can be viewed from both the Item Issues and Punch Lists views.
