A Notice is a daily or multi-day message that appears to workers when they sign on to the BuildPass site. It serves as a Messaging tool to convey important information or instructions.
Creating a Notice
To create a Notice:
Access the BuildPass platform and navigate to the Notices section.
Click on "Create Notice."
Choose the date on which the Notice will appear.
Optionally, select multiple days to span the Notice over a specific period.
Workers who sign onto the site on the selected day(s) will be shown the Notice message.
Content of a Notice
A typical Notice may include information such as upcoming deliveries or any actions required from the workers. Additionally, BuildPass allows you to highlight risks or important details in your Notices.
Managing Notices
After creating a Notice, you will find it listed with details:
The Notice will have a status based on when it will appear.
Workers' acknowledgments are tracked, showing who viewed the Notice.
Any comments or descriptions left by workers can also be viewed for reference.
Worker Acknowledgment
Notices require workers to acknowledge and agree to the message before signing on to the site for the day. This acknowledgment is recorded and provides a record of every individual who agreed to the Notice.
Toolboxes
Toolboxes in BuildPass refer to on-site meetings that can be scheduled, attendees notified, attendance tracked, and meeting discussions documented.
Creating a Toolbox
To schedule a Toolbox meeting:
Within the BuildPass platform, click on "Create Toolbox."
Set a specific date and time for the Toolbox meeting.
Specify the type of Toolbox and provide a high-level agenda.
Custom fields are available to include additional details relevant to the Toolbox.
Managing a Toolbox
Toolboxes offer features to manage attendees and track their participation:
Specify the list of attendees for the Toolbox meeting.
During the meeting, attendance can be marked to record who attended.
Like Notices, Toolbox meetings can also be acknowledged by workers to ensure their participation is recorded.
Recording Meeting Details
BuildPass provides a notes section within the Toolbox to document what was discussed during the meeting. These notes can be shared with all attendees after the meeting concludes.
Additional Attendee Scanning
If any workers arrive late or were inadvertently omitted from the initial attendee list, they can scan a QR code to add themselves to the list of attendees retrospectively.
Summary
Notices and Toolboxes serve different purposes within the BuildPass platform. Notices are daily or multi-day messages that workers see when signing onto the site, conveying important information. Toolboxes, on the other hand, are on-site meetings that can be scheduled, attended, and have their details recorded. By understanding the distinctions between these features, users can effectively utilize them to enhance communication and coordination on construction sites.
