Community Builders
Admin
Every setting in the hub, in one place. The GMC side has the hub and Construction; the GMP side has Programming.
One place for the lists every part of the hub shares. Change locations, staff, crew roles, holidays, the fiscal year or HST here and Construction, Programming, Estimating and the location pages follow within a few seconds. In the sections those boxes are read-only.
Locations
Pick each location's Managing Director, Construction Manager and Training Program Supervisor from Staff. They show on the location page and in Construction and Programming. Estimating keeps its own price factor for each location.
Staff
Everyone at Community Builders, in one list. ADP imports add new people and update job titles. Set each crew member's crew role and location: that's what Construction counts for crew by role, and it's what links them to their skills profile on Construction's Team page. Shared Services people go under Shared Services.
Location is also what each person can see: only their own location. Side decides their tabs: Construction, Programming, or Both for MDs. "Auto" works it out from the Locations panel (MD = both, CM = Construction, supervisor = Programming) or their crew role. Tick Estimating for anyone who should see Estimating.
Crew by role
The bold number is how many active staff have that role at that location, counted from Staff. Use + for planned hires, to see in Construction whether one more person clears the red weeks. Tick "Always subbed" for trades CB never does in-house.
Holidays & shutdowns
Nobody is scheduled on these days in Construction, and they show on every calendar.
Settings
Used by Construction and Programming. Revenue and program targets stay in each section.
Finance
When a job is marked Complete, the people ticked here get a "bill the close-out" to-do on their My page and a notice in the hub.

Fun stuff
Keeping the sections in step
This runs on its own whenever you change something above, and each time you open the hub. After you restore a backup inside Construction or Programming, open Admin and it lines everything back up, bringing in anything new it finds there.
Revenue projections
Upload the FY revenue projection calculator (.xlsx). The hub reads the Monthly Goals sheet, adds the months up into quarters from August, and sets Target A (all funding), Target B (confirmed only) and the crew ceiling for each location. You'll see the numbers before anything changes.
Task codes
The same codes ADP uses on time cards. Estimate lines, job tasks and actual hours will all use them, so estimated and actual hours line up. The code must match ADP exactly; the name is yours to change.
Labour rates
What an hour costs for each job title on the ADP report (for example Lead Hand, General Labourer). Labour cost on each job = its ADP hours by job title × these rates. Only you change them, and only people with money access can see them.
Backup
One file holds everything in the CB Hub: Community, location pages, the shared lists and all three sections. Download one every Friday and keep it somewhere safe. Photos stay in the hub; the backup keeps their links.
Construction settings
The planning window, and Construction's own backup
These used to be on Construction's Crew & locations tab. Locations, crew by role and holidays are set above, so they aren't repeated here.
Employer partners
The companies that hire graduates are kept in the CRM as Employer partner contacts, with everyone else CB works with. Add, upload or change them there. Programming picks them from the CRM for placements and the weekly schedule, and each one's CRM card lists the graduates it hired (counted from each graduate's placement, so spell the name the same way).
Programming setup
What trainees learn, targets, and Programming's backup
These used to be on Programming's Setup tab. Locations and each location's Training Program Supervisor are set on the GMC side (Locations).
