Adding a Daily Work Report
Daily Work Reports (DWRs) are created to document the work that is performed daily on a contract. The information recorded in a DWR is based on actual activity, not planned activity, and is essential for the administration of a contract. Daily information is recorded about the weather, the personnel who worked at the construction site, the hours worked, and the equipment used. This data is collected in the field by the project manager, project engineer, and the inspectors working on the contract.
Multiple DWRs may be created per day. Each DWR must be approved before the information recorded can be submitted on a Daily Diary. When a DWR is submitted for approval, it is either approved or sent back to be modified and resubmitted. The project manager can review or print all the information in one or more DWRs by generating a DWR Report.
To access the Add Daily Work Report component from All Daily Work Report component, choose Select Contract to Add DWR from the component Actions menu.
