Recording road work

A road work order carries its own shape: the stretch the crew actually worked. You draw it, and the street names and the blocks it ran along attach themselves. Nobody types a street name.

From the Roads page

1. Press Draw road work. It is at the top of the left panel in every view.
2. Click along the road the crew worked, one click at each bend.
3. Double-click to finish the stretch.
4. The work order form opens with your line still on the map. Fill it in and save.

A notice confirms the work order number, and the street now shows the work in its history.

If the job covered more than one stretch, use + Add another stretch in the form before you save. Four streets crack-sealed in one shift can be one work order with four stretches.

From the Work Orders page

On the Work Orders page, when you create a work order, choose Draw Road Extent to trace a stretch, or Drop Location Pin for a single spot such as a pothole.

The Work Orders page is also where you lengthen a stretch after it is saved. Open the work order and use Extend the drawn extent when the crew went further than planned.

Where the work shows up

• The street's row in the list shows when it was last worked and how many work orders it has.
• In Blocks view, each block's panel lists the work done on it under Work on this block. Click one to open it.

What the line is not

The line is a record of where work happened. AssetLink does not turn it into a length or a quantity. Enter quantities yourself, from what the crew measured.
