Assign contractors

The collaborative master scheduler allows the general contractor to assign chunks of work as deliverables or work packages to subcontractors from the schedule. Once assigned, the items are available in the project management portal of the subcontractor to whom they are assigned. The SC's project manager can then create a contractor schedule by hierarchically breaking down each of the tasks, deliverables/work packages into sub-tasks, and activities according to the timeline of the individual parent items. 

• You can assign child-level tasks of the same parent to different subcontractors.
• If you assign a parent-level task to a subcontractor, all its children will be assigned to the same subcontractor.  
• The general contractor can also assign tasks to their own company for self-performed work on the project. 

To assign contractors

• Navigate to the schedule page of the project
• Identify the row containing the schedule item you want to assign to a subcontractor
• Double-click the row inside the 'Assigned to' column

The list of contractors associated with the project appears:

• Select the contractor to whom you want to assign the item
• Click 'Confirm'

The name of the contractor company will appear in the 'Assigned to' column for the item. It will be pushed to the 'Contractor Schedule'of' of the subcontractor once published.
