Crew Dockets

Crew Dockets allow Supervisors and Leading Hands to record work for several people on a single docket, instead of creating individual dockets for each worker.

This feature is designed to reduce administration time while maintaining accurate cost tracking, approval processes, and invoicing.

Crew Dockets are used when a team of workers completes similar work for the same supplier during the same shift.

Permissions

Crew Dockets can be created by Supervisors and Leading Hands.

To create Crew Dockets, a user must have both of the following permissions enabled:

• Docket Contractor
• Docket Leading Hand or Docket Supervisor

Once these permissions have been enabled for a user, contact Virtual Superintendent support to enable the Crew Dockets feature for your project by applying the Docket Crew Contractor permission. This permission cannot be enabled from within the Virtual Superintendent user interface.

How Crew Dockets Work

A Crew Docket represents a single shift or work period but contains multiple line items, one for each crew member.

Key characteristics of these dockets are:

• One docket per shift
• Multiple crew members added to the same docket
• Each crew member appears as a separate line item
• Each line item has one chargeable item
• Item Codes for Crew Dockets are assigned based on the people selected, not chosen manually
• Each crew member’s time and cost remain individually traceable

Once created, a Crew Docket follows the standard docket lifecycle.

Crew Selection Rules

When creating a Crew Docket:

• All crew members must be configured as docket contractors and belong to the same supplier
• Standard docket validation rules, cost codes, and permissions still apply

8. Specify the work location, add any docket remarks, and enter the finish time for each crew member at the end of the workday.
9. Review the docket and submit it when complete for approval by the assigned Supervisor.

When the Crew Docket is created:

• You are automatically assigned as the Supervisor on the docket if you are a Leading Hand.
• Each crew member appears as a separate line item in the Chargeable Items section.
• Only one item code can be used for each crew member.

Item Code behavior in crew dockets

Item codes are applied based on each crew member’s SafeSite user configuration:

• If a crew member has one item code assigned, it is automatically applied to them in the docket.

  If a crew member has multiple item codes assigned:

  • Specify their default item code. Do this by opening Virtual Superintendent and navigating to the Users page (Menu > Users) and selecting the SafeSite App Users tab. Select the user from the grid to edit their details. In the editor dialog, tap the gray chevron next to an item code to turn it solid gray. This sets the code as the user's default.
  • If no default item code is selected, no item code is added for that crew member. You can, however, manually assign an item code by tapping the Change Item button on the new docket and choosing an appropriate code.

This ensures accurate charging while still allowing flexibility when crew roles change.
