      How do I log progress?

      Updating project progress is one of the most important features of Chalkstring. It feeds into your project reporting, it is used for your project valuations and applications for payment and it helps you to manage your subcontractor payment requests to ensure you don't overpay.

      We recommend updating progress on your project before you create an application for payment or process your subcontractor labour applications.

      This will ensure that you have an up-to-date position of the materials consumed and labour activities completed up to that point.

      The video below provides full details on how to log progress.
