Constructive Product Update 5.15

Constructive 5.15 – Selection Template Updates, Job Details Functionality

Features: Question mark character for job-specific non-standard products, Job Details functionality improvements, Bulk actions


1. Selections — Question mark character available for upgrades/POA
You can now change any product to POA/Upgrade using the special “?” character, instead of needing to type in a dollar figure. This allows you to make things non-standard specific to this job. For example, if a client has a wall stack oven included, then change the 900mm upgrade option to be POA.



2. Job Details — Selection Name shown in Job Quants
The Selection name is now shown in the Selection Dimension Type screen in Job Quants.



3. Job Details — Copy Quants tick box
Copying Selections just got a lot more powerful; you can now copy all the Job Quants at the same time — projects just became even easier!



4. Selection Template — Bulk actions
We’ve introduced a handy new feature in Choice Edits in the Selection Template. If you need to edit several choices, you can now select them all at once (instead of one by one) and perform a Bulk Action to them all.



5. Messages – New status available In Messages, we have a new status of Pending Client Response available to select.



6. Selections – Icon and overlay for discontinued items
An icon and overlay for discontinued items are now shown in the clients’ Selections view for company users, (not visible to clients), improving customer experience by ensuring your Selection Consultants are aware of discontinued items in their selections meeting. This avoids the disappointment of having to make item re-selections later in the process.



7. Bug Fixes
Users – If you have an admin person assigned to a Business Unit, you can now edit their user account.

Constructive 5.14 – 3D Selections, Job Contacts

1. 3D Selections
Our navigation has been updated to include a new menu item “Home 3D” allowing you to quickly navigate to a 3D view. Home 3D navigation is only visible if you have 3D enabled.

Package Selections are now available in Internal 3D view, allowing clients to choose a pre-prepared Package and instantly view all its colours and items applied in 3D.


2. Job Contacts
Control the visibility of Contacts displayed by job stage within Settings. For example, show the Selections Consultant in the contacts area during the colours stage, then set the Supervisor to appear only during the Construction phase (all configurable in the settings area).


3. Job Listing

4. Job Details
Under progress, there is a new button “Add new Progress Tasks.” If you’re manually running your Progress Updates to the client in Constructive, this allows you to add the latest tasks from your Progress Template to the individual job as you wish.

Reports – Fixed PDF generation for data with double quotes in page header.

page views progress completion


1. Engagement Page

  • You can now see a count of active jobs where no email has been sent to the client, and drill through to job details for deeper information.
  • The Registration Rate for active jobs has been split into two measures: overall, and when an email has been sent to the client.
  • Days to Client Registration has been updated to days between when the first email was sent to the client, and when the client registered. Job Creation Date is used in place of the first client email date if it is unavailable.
  • Client Page Views by Module and Brand has been replaced with Page Views by Progress Completion and Module. This visual is designed to provide a view of how your clients are engaging with Constructive over the job life cycle. Job completion is calculated by counting the number of progress tasks completed at the page view date divided by the total number of tasks on the job.



2. Minor updates

  • Survey Name filter added to the Surveys page.
  • Top Items by Upgrade Price now takes price overrides into account.
  • Added column First Client Email Sent On to Job Details table.
