How To Manage Contractors

The Contractors Form, which is available to Administrators and to Users with Edit Actions permission, lets you add entries that can either be used as external Contractors or internal work gangs or both.  Each of these ‘Contractors’ is related to one or more Action Categories.  This means that when an Action Category is assigned to an Action then any “Contractor” that is related to that Action Category can be assigned to that Action.  A Contractor can be assigned as a Subcontractor of another Contractor.

If an email address is set for the Contractor then a Work Order assigned to them can be directly emailed to them upon issue.

Contractors can also be configured as users in the User Accounts section.  This allows an external Contractor to log-in to Conquest and manage the Actions allocated to them.  They can also see any Actions (apart from cost information) assigned to any other Contractor.  They can also see any Asset information in accordance with the standard security profiles available within Conquest.
