Related Information: Beyond Contact Lookup relationships, any record in any template can be linked to any other record using the Related Information feature. This enables ad-hoc connections like linking a Work Order to a specific Project, a Safety Incident to an Inspection, or a Change Order to its originating RFI.
To activate: Open the template browse, locate the template, and uncheck the Inactive checkbox. Templates with pre-assigned menus will appear automatically.
Create records in the Clients template for your current customers. Add contact information, property types, and service territory details.
Enter employee records with license numbers, trade classifications, certifications, and pay rates. This enables Contact Lookup from Time Sheets and Training records.
Add your primary electrical supply houses with account numbers, payment terms, and sales rep contacts for seamless purchase order management.
Create your first Project or Work Order and link it to the client. Add scope details, crew assignments, and scheduling information.
Dispatch Work Orders, log Service Calls, record Time Sheets, and create Invoices as work completes. This is your daily operational rhythm.
Set up compliance records for licenses and insurance. As operations grow, activate Advanced templates for warranty tracking, financial management, and formal RFIs.
Link Everything: Use Related Information to connect Work Orders to Projects, Inspections to Permits, and Change Orders to RFIs. Build a web of relationships that gives you instant context on any record.
Calendar Power: Calendar-enabled dates on Permits, Inspections, Equipment, Licenses, and Insurance create a unified compliance calendar. Never miss a renewal, inspection, or calibration deadline.
Transaction Tracking: Invoices, Purchase Orders, Material Inventory, and the financial templates all use Transaction Logs. Record every payment, receipt, and stock movement for complete financial visibility.
List Tab To-Dos: Projects have Punch Lists, Work Orders have Materials Needed, Inspections have Correction Items, and Estimates have Bid Line Items. Use these built-in checklists to stay organized.
Protect Sensitive Data: Use optional password protection on individual records containing confidential information like employee pay rates, client financials, or insurance policy details.
Hashtag Everything: Tag records with hashtags like #PRIORITY, #2026, #COMMERCIAL, or #PANEL-UPGRADE. Deep Search finds them instantly across all templates, creating your own cross-cutting organization system.
This collection is a professionally designed starting point, not a locked system. You have complete control to shape it around the way your electrical contracting business actually operates.
Build your own templates from scratch for anything not covered. Need tool sign-out sheets, bid bonds, generator maintenance logs, or customer feedback forms? Create them.
Change any field label, enable or disable features, update purpose text, or reassign menu placement. If "WO Number" should be "Job Ticket#" in your shop, just change it.
Delete templates you don't need, or toggle them to Inactive to hide them from menus and browse views without losing the template design for future use.
