Question 1

What sort of work suits a multi-phase project?

Accepted Answer

Work that runs beyond a single visit: solar installations, construction fit-outs, security system rollouts and large maintenance programmes. Phases such as survey, install, commissioning and handover each hold their own jobs, teams, dates and milestones. Phases can be added, edited, reordered or removed as the work evolves on site.

Question 2

Can I attach jobs I have already created?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Search your existing jobs, link them to the project and assign each one to a specific phase, so nothing needs recreating. Linking works from the job or from the project, whichever you happen to have open. Once linked, that job's time, parts and invoices roll up into the project totals.

Question 3

How do I keep a project inside budget?

Accepted Answer

Set a project budget and Omni Field tracks actual costs against it as they happen: labour hours from timesheets, parts issued from stock, subcontractor invoices and expenses. The breakdown shows where the money went, and overrun alerts fire while there is still time to act rather than at handover.

Question 4

Will I be told when a milestone is due?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each milestone carries a deadline, and automated alerts notify the people responsible before it falls due and again if it slips. Progress shows as a percentage per phase, so a slipping project is visible from the dashboard rather than discovered in a handover meeting weeks later.

Question 5

Can several teams work on one project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Internal teams and subcontractors work in a shared project workspace where phases, jobs, documents and progress are visible, so nobody waits on a chat group for an update. Each team still sees only the data their role permits. Project documents live with the project rather than in one person's email.
