Do Projects have a Dashboard to provide important details to the Project Manager?

The Project Dashboard is designed to display important information in each of the project statuses. As the project moves through its lifecycle in RedTeam Go, Tasks, To-Do’s, Updated Profit, and Project Progress will display in the information cards on screen. 

From the left-side menu click Project Dashboard>Select Project

The Dashboard for the selected project will display. The screen below is a sample Project Dashboard for bidding phase and contains the project information and cards.

NOTIFICATION BAR

At the top of the Project Dashboard the Overdue Items count for the project will appear in red in the notification bar.  From the task menu, click on the Overdue Items to be taken directly to the tasks.

PROJECT INFORMATION CARD

This card displays the information about the project including project name, project address, project picture/logo, GC name, and estimate template used to create (type). There are links that allow a user to edit the GC name and update the project information.

PROFIT AND SUMMARY CARDS

These cards vary for each status—Bidding, Pending, Will Start Soon, and In Progress.

In Bidding, Estimated Profit card includes profit, profit percentage and project total amount. (NOTE: This does not include the overhead percentage (OH). The OH percentage value is on the Estimate Summary Details (click the icon to display).

In Pending, the Estimated Profit Summary is the same as bidding. The Pending card has links that will direct the user to the Owner Contract area when clicked. Additional details are revealed when clicking the icon.

In Will Start Soon, the profit card can also be expanded by clicking the icon to open drill down.

The Profit card includes bid day profit and budgeted profit from the original budget report and the Will Start Soon card will permit the commencement date to be edited.

In Progress, the Profit summary contains bid day profit, budgeted profit, and projected profit from the budget report. The In Progress detail card can also be expanded by clicking the icon to open drill down.

TASK CARDS

Tasks will reveal any current status task requiring action. These cards will update with tasks depending on the current project status. Task name, along with the total number of tasks to be completed, will appear in Tracking if they do not have a due date. Items with due dates will be tracked and appear in the Overdue column if not completed. When you click on the task hyperlinks, the modals will open to direct you to the outstanding tasks. When you click on the hyperlink in the Tracking column, you will be directed to the task’s page.

Does RedTeam Go have a WIP Report?

Yes! The Work in Progress (WIP) report is available for Accountant and Executive Employee types. You will find it under Accounting>Reports>WIP Report.

The WIP report is generated using information directly from RedTeam Go’s Job Cost Statement, found under Project>Reports>Job Cost Statement. (NOTE: If you have a QuickBooks accounting integration, information is pulled back into the Job Cost Statement from QB at the top of the hour, every hour. If you do not have an accounting integration, RedTeam Go information will populate the Job Cost Statement as expenses, PO’s, and sub bills are processed.) The WIP report will use this information to populate the report at 12:00 a.m. ET for the previous day’s activity.

Under Accounting>Reports>WIP Report, you can select a date range to generate the report or export the report as a CSV file.

Next to the Export button, click Summary Report. The WIP Summary provides a high-level overview of information from the full WIP Report. This report opens as a PDF file for download and/or print.

WIP Summary

The WIP summary uses the following formula Contract Value – Budgeted Cost = Projected Gross Profit to display Profit.

The Over/Under Billings column (Red Arrow) on WIP Summary Report combines Cost vs Billing values from the last 2 columns of the full WIP (below) into one column with a + or – value.
