Create a Crew

Objective

To create a crew in the Crews tool.

Background

Laborers on job sites are managed into groups called crews so they can be more easily organised. Each crew consists of workers who perform one or more scope of work (such as a crew of concrete workers) and is lead by a Crew Lead or Foreman, who is responsible for the crew’s work.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Crews tool.
  Note
  
  To see workers added to a specific project:
  
  'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Crews tool.
  OR
  
  'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Crews tool AND 'Read Only or 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Directory tool with the 'Create Contacts' granular permission enabled on your permission template.
  
  To see all workers across all projects, 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Crews tool, 'Read Only' or above on the Company Directory tool and the configure setting "Can company employees be tracked on all projects?" enabled in the Company level Timesheets tool.
Additional Information:
- To create a crew, you must select one (1) employee as the crew lead and at least one (1) employee or worker as a crew member.

Prerequisites

Add the employees you want on the crew. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
Add the workers you want on the crew. See Add a Worker.
Optional: If you want Employee IDs to appear under employee and worker names, you must enter an Employee ID as follows:
- See Edit a Worker.
- See Edit a Contact in the Company Directory or Edit a User Account in the Company Directory.
- See Edit a Contact in the Project Directory or Edit a User Account in the Project Directory.
  Note: If an employee's user account is only added to the Company Directory, you must also enable the 'Can company employees be tracked on all projects?' setting in the Company level Timesheets tool. See Configure Advanced Settings: Company Level Timesheets.
