Create a Crew
Objective
To create a crew in the Crews tool.
Background
Laborers on job sites are managed into groups called crews so they can be more easily organized. Each crew consists of workers who perform one or more scope of work (such as a crew of concrete workers) and is lead by a Crew Lead, or Foreman, who is responsible for the crew’s work.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Crews tool.

Additional Information:
- To create a crew, you must select one (1) employee as the crew lead and at least one (1) employee or worker as a crew member.
Prerequisites
- Add the employees you want on the crew. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
- Add the workers you want on the crew. See Add a Worker.
