Before you can
view the job information in Trimble Connect for Windows, you need to link the job to a Trimble Connect project. You can either
link the job to an existing project or create a new project.
Note: If the job is linked to a project
management job, the Trimble Connect project is managed through the
project management job.
In this case, you need to link the
project management job to Trimble Connect. The link is then applied
to any linked Advance
Bill, Production Control, and Estimating jobs. The Trimble Connect project cannot be modified when you
access it through the Advance
Bill, Production Control, or Estimating job.
