- Open the Jobs tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
- Call 811 and wait for locates before any digging; the job sits in that stage until marks are in.
- Promised turns red when a phase runs late; weather days are worth noting in the scope.
- Using Google Sheets? Upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets (or File → Import in an open sheet). Formulas, dropdowns and highlights carry over.
The file opens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded, and you own the copy outright.
