Documentation Sign-Off
Documentation, available under the Navigation Menu’s Project Administrator category, has been enhanced with a Sign-Off function. The project participant who issues the documentation will now see a “Sign-Off” link. Selecting this link allows them to Close the Documentation on behalf of another user.
New Roles
Superintendent
Definition: A Superintendent runs the day-to-day operations on the construction site. Superintendents are, most commonly, stationed on the construction site while Project Managers are, usually, based from the Construction office with part-time on site responsibilities. The Project Manager and Superintendent work together very closely.
Within Onware, when a Project Participant is assigned the Role of the Superintendent, the Project Participant will have access to the Construction Diary Browse/Search page, including the ability to view and create new Construction Diary documents.
NOTE: A Project Participant should NOT be assigned both the Superintendent and General Contractor Roles. A Project Participant is either a General Contractor OR a Superintendent.

Enhancements
Standard Form – Request for Information
- When RFI is in Initiated state, the initiator can now view the Question and Suggestion text when viewing the RFI in Print Preview.
- The Standard RFI Form has been updated to include, if applicable, details of RFI Forwarding.
Click here to learn more about RFI Forwarding.
Request for Information
“Short Descripton” has been renamed “Notes” and includes a 200 character limit. This text displays on the General Contractor RFI page, as well as the General Contractor RFI report.
Within an RFI, a link to the Sub-Contractor RFI document has been included so those with access to the RFI can see the details that the Sub-Contractor submitted as well.
Quotation
If a Quotation was generated from a CRX, the Prime Consultant can now view the CRX and any relevant Sub-Contractor Quotations linked to the Issued Quotation.
CRX
In order for Sub-Contractors to provide accurate pricing to the CRX request, Sub-Contractors require access to view, if applicable, the associated Change, while restricting the Sub-Contractors ability to view the pricing submitted in a Quotation, by the General Contractor.
A Sub-Contractor can now view the Change linked to the CRX, but not the Quotation itself.
CRX – Cost Code Configure
To improve search-ability, we have included paging and filters for “Type”. Paging will display 25 results per page.
CRX Rates
CRX Rates have moved from the Project setup to CRX Browse/Search, under Tools, called “CRX Rates”. Those in the General Contractor Role will have the ability to create and edit CRX Rates as required.
Company Browse/Search Page
To improve search-ability, we have included paging and a City filter to assist in refining searches. Paging will display 25 results per page.
Sub-Contractor Quotation
When allocating a Sub-Contractor Quotation to a CRX Code, only “Sub-Contractor” type CRX codes are available for selection.
Company type ahead now displays the Company number or Type number after the name, as well as the City and Province.
Paging has been added to:
- Quotation Browse/Search page
- Projects Browse/Search page
Active Items Report
The Active Items Report now includes the Project number as well as the Project name.
