Understanding the Task List

The Task List displays the project tasks by category for projects that are within 90 days of bidding. The number next to the category name represents the count of tasks for the category.

Notes:

To access the projects for each category, click on a category tile to open the Task List with the projects for the specific category displayed.
All projects with expired bid dates are removed from the list.

The following table describes the sections of the Task List.

Section	Description
Promote	The Invitations to Bid (ITB) sent to you from general contractors.
Predict	The projects that match your Predict and profile settings.
Select	The projects that you have recently added to your Watch List that have an associated task.
Share	The projects and notes that are shared between you and others in your company.
Prepare	The project that you have sent to takeoff.

Understanding Watch List totals

The Watch List displays the companies that you have selected to track for future development. Each listing includes the number and aggregate value of projects associated with the company and a list of projects the company is working on. The project information includes project name, location, status (such as Award), bid date and value.

Notes:

To see the details of a Watch List company, click on the name in the list.
To see all of your Watch List projects and companies,
- click View Watch List at bottom of the section or
- click Activities > Watch List from the sidebar menu.

Using the calendar

The calendar displays the current month by default and is used to indicate the due date of Notes added to a project and project significant events. Clicking on a date with a blue dot displays the event list and projects for that date:

You can scroll to the previous or next month using the arrows at the top of the calendar.
Days marked with a blue dot indicate project activity that may be of interest to you, based on your account settings.
Below the calendar is a list of project events for the next several days. Each entry includes the project name, time and type of the event.
Clicking on the project entry opens the details page for the project.
