New in StatsLog4 ‐ Transmittals & Shop Drawings

We have just released a major update to StatsLog4 that includes our new Transmittals & Shop Drawings module.

Some of the features of the new module include:

  1. Minimum input for maximum output ‐ You can track individual shop drawings if required, or you can enter them in groups.
  2. Transmittal & Shop Drawing summary ‐ Generate reports based on shop drawing status (reviewed, reviewed as noted, pending or rejected), who the transmittals are currently with (builder, architect, etc…) and what breakdown items the transmittals are associated with.
  3. Streamlined data entry process ‐ The shop drawings grid includes in‐grid initiation and modification features to improve efficiency.
  4. Automatic contact determination ‐ Our "smart" algorithm will default to inverse of the previous transmittal to & from contacts, which in most cases will decrease the required data entry.
  5. Automatic transmittal state determination ‐ Our "smart" algorithm will automatically define the state of a transmittal (initial submission, initial request, resubmission, forward, response, etc…).
  6. Shop Drawings Report on Form ‐ A new feature of our form engine will display the list of shop drawings associated with a transmittal directly on the form (instead of requiring a separate report printout).

The new Transmittals & Shop Drawings module is available at no extra cost to all current StatsLog clients.

New Feature: Advanced Report Layouts

We've added a few new features to report rendering in StatsLog4:

The advanced report layout feature allows you to design report templates using all of the design features of FormMaker for StatsLog4, including graphics & rich text formatting. For an example of the some of possibilities of this new feature, take a look at this PDF file that was exported from StatsLog4.

StatsLog in the Maritimes

On Saturday June 28, FIVE will be launched at the RAIC/AANB Conference in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Our session will take non‐StatsLog users with their own laptops and help them create their first project. FIVE is as significant a interface shift as was the change from DOS to Windows. Some of the new features are in direct response to trends in construction contracts, some are for efficiency, and some for ease of use.

We will also be changing the pricing structure to:

  1. Encourage individual practitioners to adopt StatsLog by lowering the single‐user price, and
  2. Make it to easier manage the software licensing in multi‐user environments by eliminating individual form limits and specific workstation licenses.

If you have any questions about the impact of these changes on your firm, please contact us.

StatsLog4 Has New Features to Help with Contract Re‐Configurations

As a result of a consulting job, we have added a few new features to StatsLog4 to help you deal with contract re‐configurations during the project life‐cycle.

First, we've added a Merge mode so that you can merge multiple contract items into a single item. This is useful in cases where the contractor has combined multiple items from one progress claim to the next and you want to match their breakdown.

Second, we've completely re‐worked the Transfer feature to make it much easier to use. Select the item that you want to transfer certified progress out of, and then move the amounts from that item to other items. StatsLog4 will automatically track the amounts that you are moving to make sure that the total certified amount remains the same.

StatsLog4 Sample Documents

We've added a small collection of sample documents that have been generated by StatsLog4 in PDF format. The samples demonstrate the two main document types available in StatsLog4 (forms & reports), as well as some of the unique features of those documents.

All forms and reports produced by StatsLog4 can be exported and emailed in PDF format without any additional software or special printer drivers. If you have any questions about the other types of forms and reports that StatsLog4 can produce, please contact us for more information.

Signature‐Ready Custom Forms

Produce signature‐ready custom forms in one mouse‐click. With StatsLog4 you can issue forms for: Our powerful form design and rendering engines can reproduce almost any existing form.

Thanks to our template driven approach, a single set of forms can be re‐used for an unlimited number of projects. This limits your work to a small amount of data‐entry while StatsLog4 handles the form layout and calculations.
