What is the difference between a report and a historical report?

A report can be generated at any time within the application. Some reports have a historical report available at the completion of an approval process. This includes the daily work reports (DWRs), Change Order Report, Contract Project Design Evaluation Report, Contractor Evaluation Report, Items With Unpaid Placed Quantities report, Payment Estimate for Contractor report, and the Payment Estimate Summary By Project Report. For these reports, print this report version until the historical report becomes available.

A historical report is the final report for a specific approval process. This includes daily work reports (DWRs), contract project design evaluations, contractor / subcontractor evaluations, and payment estimates. When the final approval is granted for one of the noted processes, the historical report is generated as a PDF file that is directly attached to the source record (e.g. change order number 0004, payment estimate number 0005, etc.). In the case of DWRs, they are part of an approved payment estimate and the associated DWR Report is created when the final approval is received on the payment estimate. The historical report is the final copy of the report and cannot be edited.

  1. From any component, select the Global Actions Menu | Generate Report.


  2. On the Generate Report component, select the DWR Report.


  3. When the report is selected, the Generate Report - DWR Report | Select Data component will appear.
    1. Search for the contract ID.
    2. Select one or more DWR Report Dates to print.
    3. Click <Execute>.



  4. The report will be generated and appear in a new browser tab. The report can be viewed, printed or saved in PDF format.
