Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 CSD Incident functionality with a reference to the machinery involved in an incident, and adds a new CB Activities part that gives quick access to incidents, machinery search and the current Daily Construction Site Report from a role center.
Note
CSD stands for Construction Site Documentation (German: "Baudokumentation"), as used by MEGABAU 365 for the "CSD Incident" table and its related pages. DCSR stands for Daily Constr. Site Report (German: "Bautagesbericht"/"BTB"), the MEGABAU 365 document that records a day's activity on a job.
CSD Incidents (MEGABAU 365)
The MEGABAU 365 table CSD IncidentMGB and its card are extended so that an incident can reference the piece of machinery it relates to, and so that files can be attached to an incident directly from its card.
Machinery fields on the incident
These fields are added to the "CSD IncidentMGB" table (table extension) and shown in a new Machinery group on the incident card, placed after the "Concluded On" field (page extension of "CSD IncidentMGB").
Field
Description
Inventory No.
Barcode field for scanning or entering the inventory number of the machinery involved in the incident. When you enter a value, Construction Base looks up the machinery whose "Machinery No." matches this value and automatically fills in Machinery No., Machinery Description, Position Type and Position No. from that machinery's most recent logistics entry.
Machinery No.
Number of the machinery involved in the incident. Filled in automatically from Inventory No., but can also be entered directly.
Machinery Description
Description of the machinery, filled in automatically together with Machinery No.
Position Type
Type of the machinery's last known position at the time the incident is recorded (for example Job, Warehouse, Resource, Customer, Int./Ext. Maintenance), filled in automatically from the machinery's last logistics entry.
Position No.
Number identifying the position (for example the job, resource or location number) that corresponds to Position Type, filled in automatically from the machinery's last logistics entry.
Upload File action
The incident card also receives an Upload File action, added after the standard "Take Picture" action.
It lets you attach a file from your device to the current incident. Based on the uploaded file's extension, Construction Base stores it either as a Picture (for image files such as .bmp, .emf, .gif, .ico, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .wmf) or as a general Attachment on a new "CSD Incident AttachmentMGB" record, with the current date and time recorded as Recording Date and Recording Time.
CB Activities
CB Activities (technical name CBDCSRActivitiesNVX) is a new card part used on Construction Base role centers (for example the MEGABAU role center and the DCSR role center) to give quick access to the most common daily actions for construction site documentation.
When the part is activated, it automatically proposes today's job: if you already created a Daily Constr. Site Report today, its job, document and status are reused; otherwise the first job available to you is proposed, or you are prompted to choose one.
Actions
CSD Incidents
Opens the "CSD Incidents" list (MEGABAU 365), where construction site documentation incidents are recorded and managed.
Change Job/Settings
Opens a selection screen where you choose the job, job task and Bill of Quantities document that the part (and the Daily Constr. Site Report it opens) should work with, and lets you decide whether the Daily Constr. Site Report and CSD actions are shown.
Open Daily Constr. Site Report
Opens the current Daily Constr. Site Report (DCSR) for the selected job and date, creating it if it does not exist yet for the logged-in user. This action is only shown if it has not been hidden through Change Job/Settings.
CB Machinery Search
Opens CB Machinery Search, letting you find machinery by scanning or entering an Inventory No.
