Foreman’s Field Report	Lists each pay item and task showing the labor, equipment, and materials required for the task. The task quantities and production rates are also listed.
Budget Report	Lists each pay item (or task) along with the Cost Code (sometimes called a Phase Code) and the unit and total costs for each item.
Quantity Report	Lists only those pay items that have a take-off quantity.
Include (Items)	These options allow you to select which cost items to include (or exclude) from the Foreman’s report.
Edit Cost Codes	Press this button to display a window, which allows you to enter cost codes (or phase codes) for each pay item or task.
Sort By	You can sort both reports by either the Pay Item Number or the Cost Code. If you select pay item order, the system will sort the report based on the sort option selected for the project on the project settings screen.
Time Measure	By default this report will be printed based on the time measure set up on the project settings screen. This option allows you to change the time measure that will be printed on the report. Changing the time measure will also change the production rates on the report. Note that this setting has no affect on the actual time or production rates within the estimate.
Skip Plug Items	Check this box to exclude all plug priced pay items from the report.
Show Production	Check this box to print the production rate for each task.

Pressing the PREVIEW button will display the report on the screen. From the preview screen, you will have the option to print, export, or cancel. The CANCEL button will cancel the printing of the report.
