Understanding Production Backlog, In Progress, and Complete. Your Superintendent Dashboard

• FCS Contract is a tool for your Superintendent to help manage all New Construction and large reroof projects. 
• FCS Contract can be found in your ToolBox.  The FCS Contract Tool will provide an overview of all Backlog, In Progress, and Completed projects. 
• This article is going to explain and define these stages and how to accurately view your Superintendent dashboard.

Step 1: 

• This is the FCS Superintendent dashboard. 
• The gauges are a visual of your completed ratio of backlog, in progress, and complete projects.

Step 2: 

• Setting your ratio for your gauges. 
• The ratio is set by filling out the "Goals" section of the "Operations Settings" in FCS Admin Features. 

• The portion of the goal you reach will be reflected in the respective gauge. 
• Once you have exceeded your goal the gauge will be pinned at "F" for Full. 
• To the right of the gauges is the sum ($) dollar amount of all current jobs followed by the actual amount of jobs for each category. 
• In this example, Backlog has (1) job at $1,650,000, In Progress has (17) jobs at $8,695,009 and Complete has (3) jobs at $1,651,000.  

Step 3: 

• Backlog is any project that has been 'Sent to Production,' but has yet to be scheduled. 
• The Start Date and Finish Date must be blank. 
• Once dates have been selected the job will no longer be considered Backlog. 
• Keep in mind, it requires a project name/foremen to show up.

• In Progress is any project that is scheduled, or in progress. 
• Again, if the Start Date and Finish Date are populated the job will be considered In Progress.
• Complete is any project that is 100% complete [work area] and has a status of "Complete".

Congratulations! You now have an understanding of how to set and monitor your production goals in real-time.
