## Quick Reference

- Open the job and click the Draw Sheet tab.
- Click Edit.
- Enter This Inspection, Materials Stored and Retainage on each line.
- Add a comment and tag photos where a line needs support.
- Click Save and check the Total row.

## Before You Start

- The job is assigned to you and its status is In Progress.
- You have walked the site and taken the photos.
- You have the requested amounts, if the order carried them.

## Step 1: Read the Sheet

**The continuation sheet on screen.** The commercial draw sheet is the continuation sheet on screen. Each budget line shows its Amount, Portion of Job, % Complete, Requested Amount, This Inspection, Materials Stored, Prev. Draws, Bal. to Finish and Retainage, then a Comment and its Photos. A Total row closes the sheet.

**The tags under the title.** The tags name the budget, the draw number and the retainage. Retainage not set means no default came with the budget or the order.

## Step 2: Enter Each Line

**Edit, then work down the sheet.** Click Edit. The inspector enters this inspection, materials stored and retainage on each line, with a comment and photos. This Inspection is your figure for this visit. It can differ from the Requested Amount.

**Comment where your figure differs.** In the sample, Wood Framing was requested at $1,350,000.00 and entered at $1,080,000.00, with the comment "Level 5 framing not complete at visit". A short comment tells the reviewer why.

**Tag Photo.** Click Tag Photo to attach photos to a line. Their thumbnails show in the Photo column.

## Step 3: Save and Check

**Save, then read the Total row.** Click Save to keep your entries, or Cancel to drop them. Read the Total row before you leave the tab.

**Custom columns.** Turn on Custom columns to see the column set your firm chose.

## Tips

**DO**
- Comment on every line where This Inspection differs from the Requested Amount.
- Tag photos of stored materials to the line that claims them.
- Save before you switch tabs.

**WATCH FOR**
- This sheet works in dollars. The residential Draw Sheet works in percentages.
- Retainage not set means you enter retainage on the lines yourself.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: The Requested Amount column is empty.**
A: The order was created without the draw request amounts. Enter This Inspection from what you see on site.

**Q: Where do I enter retainage?**
A: In the Retainage column on each line, unless a default came with the budget or the order.

**Q: I don't see every column.**
A: Custom columns may be on. Turn it off to see the full sheet.
