Contractor personnel can be uploaded using the Labor upload template file within the Data > Daily Report Settings > Labor menu area.
NOTE: Due to the configurable nature of the FACS Platform, the specific name of some Labels or Field Names may differ from this example and your portal.
Labor Template File
To start the upload process, the data needs to be in a format the Platform can read. Use the Labor template file to ensure the data is formatted correctly.
NOTE: Only the required fields need to be completed within the template file for the Platform to accept the data.
The table below outlines the information that can be associated with each Contractor's laborers.
| Field Name | Description | Example | Required Field |
| Description | Labor personnel's full name. | Matt McEuen | Yes |
| Category | Job category | Foreman | No |
| ID | Laborer's company id, if applicable. | MM1453 | No |
| Company | Name of the Contractor that the Laborer works for in their capacity on the project. | ACME Construction | Yes |
CAUTION: The Contractor spelling, in the "Company" field, must match the existing values in the system exactly, including capitalization.
TIP: Description value must be unique. It may be necessary to combine more than one field into the Description field to arrive at a unique value if the Contractor's labor list has multiple categories of the same labor. This can easily be accomplished by adding the laborer's company name to the end of the laborer's name or category. Example: Forman - ACME Construction
