Work packages and as-built records

Track planned work by scope and dates, and compare actual field conditions through an as-built design.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Work package scope

A work package brings together the records to work on, start/end dates and construction status. Create its scope from a published design or map features. The post-construction state is recorded through a design labelled As-built in the interface.

Create a work package

1. Open Work packages in the base project's Project panel.
2. Select New work package.
3. Enter Name, Start, End and an optional Note.
4. Choose From a published design or By selecting a feature as Scope source.
5. For the first option, choose a Published design. For the second, select records with Search feature names and the Type filter.
6. Select Create work package, then inspect the resulting card with Open.

Design-based scope includes records created and updated during publication, but excludes deleted records. You can also use Open a work package when publishing when publishing a design.

Track construction and actual conditions

1. When work starts, select Start construction in the work package card.
2. Use Create as-built branch to prepare actual records. Complete Branch name (optional) if desired.
3. Use Open branch to enter the post-construction workspace; save actual field geometry and attributes.
4. Complete validation, review, approval and publication in the design process.
5. Review Latest as-built, Differences and Incomplete records in the work package card. The difference table shows Planned and Actual side by side.

Opening an as-built workspace requires project-wide write permission. If a work package module is disabled, scope and comparison details may be unavailable.

Update details

Edit details updates information such as name and dates. If an authorised administrator uses Complete manually on a package under construction, they enter Completion reason and select Complete. This alone does not show that as-built differences have been resolved; inspect the comparison separately.

Cancel retains the work package history. If a save outcome cannot be confirmed, use Check current list or Show current card; find the existing record before creating the same package again.
