Project settings only has a "name" and "address" fill in the blank options currently.
Would there be a way to add a few more other "fill in the blank" boxes?
For things like: Special directions to jobsite (lots of jobsites are not issued actual addresses until its permitted. So we have to add turn by turn directions for the contractors until google can find the spot)
Lot number, sales tax, Job specialties...
It doesn't have to be a box for each. But at least one place where a project admin could add in misc custom notes for each job - (each of your users can customize that way.)
We have made a work around for our data currently- not super easy for subs to find basic info unless they dig around.
As far as I understand the Project settings data feeds into the little line under each project name on the main "all projects page" . I have Digs on my phone and it would be handy if the address line could be expanded to see all those Extra project details without automatically going to the project.
For example- some of the project addresses are long enough the end zip code gets cut off on the phone view (desk top its fine). When you click on it (intuitively hoping it expands to see the whole address)- it goes the blue print page and you lose access to the address info.
A long time ago we had a plans platform that linked up to google and would show a small google map of the general job site area. (was only useful if google went to the right spot- new addresses notoriously confuse google). As far as I know- you can't copy and paste the address from that "all projects" page either. And sometimes my android phone will do that highlight and hold- "look up, Copy, Map, Call" if you click on something that seems like an address or a phone number ... I don't think you can do that either from that project first page.
Basically- we need a better way to post jobsite address that is easy for subs to find in a few short steps.
