Within BuildPro, you can now insert a pause task that holds the schedule with a note or a reason code attached. Or you can put a hold on a job.
You use a pause task when something has happened on the job that is beyond the control of the superintendent. Pause tasks are normally for short durations. The number of days a job is "paused" are subtracted from reports that calculate the time it took to build a house. Pause tasks are at the task level. You don't start them or complete them. A pause task is added into the schedule and the user determines whether or not to affect the schedule, or re-initialize the baseline.
Jobs that are on hold are mainly for winter starts. Jobs that are in a hold status cannot be updated, started, completed by the construction manager. To put jobs on hold, the user add a start date (today or in the past) for the hold. This immediately changes the status of the job to Hold. Jobs that are on hold do not appear on as an active job on the Job Primary's job list and tasks will not appear on the To Do List. Only the Job Admin can update tasks in a job that is on hold.
Only a Job Admin can make modifications to jobs that have a pause task, or jobs that are on hold.
You maintain reasons for putting a pause task on a job, or holding a job at the company level.
