How to Print a Parts List for Job Assembly
💡 Purpose:
This guide explains the step-by-step process to print the parts list used to assemble materials for a specific job. It covers how to navigate the system, update the parts list, and ensure proper formatting before printing.
✔️ Procedure:
Open the Job:
- If you don’t have a job open, go to the corner, select File, and click on Open to bring up the desired job.
- If the job is already open, ensure it is active by checking for asterisks on the tabs (as noted by Renee).
Search for the Job:
- Navigate to the Dashboard and type in the job name, such as "burgo". Click on the job once it appears in the search results.
Access the Documents Tab:
- Once in the job, click on the Documents tab located at the top.
- Next, click on the document icon (next to the eyeglasses) to prepare for printing the parts list.
Review the Contract:
- Confirm the contents of the contract, which includes rooms like the pantry, mudroom 2, and others.
- Decide which rooms to keep or remove from the parts list (e.g., you may want to remove mudroom 2).
Update the Parts List:
- Click on the Parts List tab in the upper right corner.
- Deselect the rooms you do not want in the list, ensuring only the necessary rooms remain.
Export the Parts List:
- Click on Export Parts List and navigate to the Burgo Chatham folder to save it.
- Name the parts list file appropriately (e.g., "test") and click Save.
Run the Macro:
- Ensure the macro is installed on the laptop. Press Ctrl + Q to run the macro that formats the parts list.
- At the top of the document, type "BURGO" in capital letters.
Add Job Notes:
- Copy any necessary notes from the job tab and paste them into the parts list document.
- Make sure to adjust the page layout to Portrait and set the margins to Narrow.
Adjust Formatting:
- Move the columns as needed to ensure all descriptions are visible and clearly formatted.
- Change the scaling settings to adjust the size of the parts list for printing.
Save the Parts List:
- Save the parts list document as an Excel file to the same folder.
Print the Document:
- Go to File, then Print, and select the appropriate printer on the network.
- After printing, place the parts list in the designated folder.
Final Review:
- Confirm that all pages are printed (typically three pages) and complete.
