Create Manpower Entries

The Manpower section lets you track people on site who performed work on the project that day. It allows for the collection of data, including companies on site, number of workers, hours worked, cost codes associated with the work.

You can configure the Manpower section so that the values of Hours and workers on a copied manpower entry are automatically set to zero. See Configure Daily Log Advanced Settings.
Note: If the Set Hours and Workers values to 0 on copy setting is not enabled in the Daily Log Settings > Manpower screen, the copied manpower entry will retain the number of hours and workers from the previous entry.
