Summary
Quantify has a type of job site that allows for scaffold tag tracking contained within a single ‘tag job’. Using a tag job, individual scaffold tags are managed within their own tab. Shipments to and from the job are completed within the scaffold tag itself.
Scaffold Tags
To allow scaffold tag tracking, first select this option on the ‘Job Site Options’ tab in Global Options. Next edit the job site by selecting ‘Track individual scaffold tags at this location’ on its Scaffold Tags tab.
To add a new scaffold tag, select the job from the tree view on the left, then within the ‘Scaffold Tags’ tab, click the Add button. To modify a scaffold tag, click the Edit or Delete buttons on this tab.
Tag
When a tag is first created you can enter any unique number for the tag number (If that number is already in use, you will receive a warning when clicking OK.). After a tag is created the Tag field is disabled and you will need proper permissions to change it.
Status
| The status of the scaffold tag is required and is set to ‘On Rent (in use)’ by default. |  |
| Scaffold tags can be filtered by status on the Scaffold Tags tab; this filter is also set to ‘On Rent (in use)’ by default. | |  |
Work Order
A work order specified here will appear on all reports and pivots. The PO is completed on the parent job; if you have separate POs, you will need to create a job for each PO number.
Priority, Project and Step Lists
| If you wish, you can select a priority, project or step. These lists are managed from the Scaffold Tags tab. |  |
Customer & Employees
You may select from the Customer (Representative and Requestor) and Employees (Foreman, Builder and Dismantler) lists. Customers and employees are managed from the Customers tab and Users tab, respectively, on the main window.
Scaffold Dimensions
Dimensions play a very useful role in scaffold tag tracking and provide an idea of the size of a scaffold. Leg feet and volume are automatically calculated when you enter the dimensions. (Note that the leg foot calculation does not include an extra 42” added to each leg to account for the height to the top guardrail.)
Deliveries and Returns
Deliveries and returns are completed within the scaffold tag itself. To deliver or return from a tag, locate it within the list, click on the Shipments tab below the selected tag, and then click the Deliver or Return button.
The shipment window for scaffold tags is simpler than for other locations and therefore easier to complete.
Reporting
Two reports and one pivot are available for scaffold tags.
Print Preview Selected Tag
The Print Preview Selected Tag report displays all of the properties on the scaffold tag, plus a list of the materials that are currently stocked on the tag.
Return Pick Ticket for Tag
| This report displays a return pick ticket, which can be printed for manual counting of materials. The rows are larger on this report for manual entry. (The ‘actual quantity’ is displayed unless the option to ‘Hide quantities on the Return Pick Ticket’ is selected from Receiving Options on the General tab of the tag/job site.) |  |
Scaffold Tag Pivot
The pivot for scaffold tags displays all data for the selected job or parent branch in a pivot. Note that tags are not displayed when selecting any location above the branch office in the organization tree.
Security
Permissions exist to control users’ ability to make changes to scaffold tags. Items in bold indicate that the role can do the action, but only if the user is assigned to the location that the scaffold tag belongs to.
