Common Budget Forms

Budget work flows utilize several forms to process financial information. This walkthrough will go over how these forms are constructed. Your Professional Services representative will help you with the initial setup of these records.

Note:

Our best practice recommendation is to format your form layouts so that they do not exceed three cell widths in total width. This will ensure that your form displays correctly with the increased font size. In the screen shot below, the form layout is three cell widths in total width.

To navigate to the Manage Forms page:

Click Admin in the toolbar in the upper-right corner of the window.

The System Administrator Dashboard page opens.
Click Manage Forms link in the Company Administration column.

The Manage Forms page opens.
Follow a procedure below.

Common Form Elements

Bidding Forms

Change Order Forms

The Change Order work flow is used by vendors to submit change orders.

Important!

We highly recommend that you include instructions in your form layouts.

Add Form Type

To add your change order form type:

Click Add Form Type.

The Add Form Type window opens.
Enter Change Order in the Name field.

Form names cannot end with a number.
Enter a description of the form in the Description field.

Add descriptions to every template, layout, or field you create in Lucernex, so future administrators understand the purpose and context of each item.
Select the Default option.
Enter CO in the Sequence Prefix field.
Select the Global Sequence Numbers? check box.

This setting gives forms a unique identifier per form across the system.
If you want to allow replies on the form, select the Yes option for the Allow Reply setting.
Select the Work Flow Field Set check box.
Select the check boxes for each entity type this form should be available in.
Select the portfolio you want this form type to be available for from the Available for the following Portfolios / Capital Programs field.

All Portfolios / Capital Programs is selected by default. You can select multiple options.
Click Add.

The window closes. The bid package form type appears in the Forms table.

Add Form Layouts

Since the change order work flow is kicked off by the Submit Change Order form, the Submit Change Order form layout requires slightly different settings from the other form layouts.

Submit Change Order Form Layout

Important!

Before a form can be used, you must build a layout.

To add a form layout:

Click Add Layout link in the Actions column of the form type to which you want to add a layout.

The Add Layout window opens.
Enter Submit Change Order in the Page Layout Name field.
Enter a description of the layout in the Description field.

Add descriptions to every template, layout, or field you create in Lucernex, so future administrators understand the purpose and context of each item.
Select Yes for the Allow Edit setting.
Select the Yes option for the Allow users to create this form? setting.

This setting allows users to kick off the work flow by creating the form.
If you want to base the layout of this form on another layout, select the layout from the Initialize layout from existing layout field.
If you want to specify a minimum width for this layout, enter the width in the Minimum window width in pixels field.

The system will auto-size the form for you. We recommend viewing the form prior to setting a minimum width.
If you anticipate that your users will be viewing this form on a mobile device, select the Large Text for Mobile check box.

This setting increases the size of text in forms when the form is viewed on a tablet. This setting improves the experience of users working in the field.

Our best practice recommendation is to format your form layouts so that they do not exceed three cell widths in total width. This will ensure that your form displays correctly with the increased font size. In the screen shot below, the form layout is three cell widths in total width.
Select the portfolio you want this form layout to be available for from the Available for the following Portfolios / Capital Programs field.

All Portfolios / Capital Programs is selected by default. You can select multiple options.
Click Add Layout.

The Add Layout window closes. The layout appears as a child item to the form type when you click next to the form type name.
