Button Summary

Along the top of the reporting screen, there is a drop down menu and four buttons. Use them as follows:

  1. Document No.: The Portal allows you to key multiple reports at once. After clicking 'Add Another Document' (#2 below), you can use this drop-down menu to choose which in-progress report to view and edit.  

  2. Add Another Document: This provides a blank material quantities screen for a new Document No. of the same contract type to work on. The new document will appear in the document drop down beside Document No. 

  3. New Originating Site: Once information has been entered and saved for the first originating site, you can add additional originating sites to the same claim by clicking 'New Originating Site'. Click ‘Save for Later’ after entering data for each originating site. Select the filter icon to view the different originating sites data. 

  4. Save for Later: Saves your current document in draft status so it can be worked on later. 

  5. Submit Report: This will bring you to the next screen to confirm your submission before it is finalized. This will submit all draft reports.
