Open: Confirmed and concrete ordered. Final pour details are added here.

Ongoing: The pour starts, and deliveries are recorded.
-
Closed: Pour is completed, but deliveries can still be added.
-
Accepted: Once all data (like lab results) is complete, the pour is accepted.
Pours are color-coded based on the lifecycle stage to help you keep track.

Helpful Notes
-
When viewing QC or logistical delivery information within the tables, edits can easily be made by clicking, in the table, the piece of information you wish to edit
-
Edits can be made at any time after a pour/delivery has been created – even after the pour is closed or accepted
-
PDF reports are available through the browser version.
-
Pour status can be reversed from accepted to closed, from closed to accepted or from open to scheduled. A pour can’t reversed from on-going to open once it has started.
-
Admins can edit all info; editors can create pours and deliveries but not edit project-level settings; viewers can only view information.
