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.

job.
In this case, you need to link the project management job to Trimble Connect. The link is then applied to any linked production
control and estimating jobs. The Trimble Connect project cannot be
modified when you access it through the production control or estimating job.
