Your first day in Jig: signing up and your first project

When you sign up, Jig creates a brand-new organization for you — it's the boundary everything else lives inside, and it never merges with anyone else's. Your organization comes …

Getting Started
Understanding seats: Full, Field, Viewer, and trade partner access

Jig doesn't give everyone the same view. What you see is tied to your seat type, and it's worth understanding up front so you're not hunting for a tab that was never going to sh…

Setting up your cost code structure

Before you build a budget, decide how you want your cost codes to read. Settings → Cost codes gives you two vocabularies: division numbers (the CSI 01–48 numbering scheme archit…

Submitting a pay application

Pay Applications
Understanding a negative amount due on a pay application

If you ever see a pay application where the amount due comes out negative, that's not a bug — it's Jig correctly telling you a credit is owed back to the owner, most often becau…

Pay Applications
Building a custom report

The Reports tab is one report builder, not a pile of fixed templates — it works the same way whether you're pulling one project or your whole portfolio. Steps Pick a register — …

Reports
Managing seats and your plan

Settings → Plan is where you manage seats and see what's included. Full licence (office/PM): $39.99 per user per month, or $407.90 per user per year (15% off). Field licence: th…

Risk & Delay Claims
Filing a delay event and requesting an extension of time

The Delay events tab is where you document something that actually happened and track it through to an extension of time (EOT), the way a real claims process expects. Steps Log …

Risk & Delay Claims
Filing your daily log

Daily logs are the field seat's home base — weather, crew, equipment, notes, and photos, one entry per day per project. Steps Open Daily logs and start a new entry. Weather fill…

Daily Reports
Recording a safety incident or near miss (HSSE)

HSSE is on by default for field seats — a safety module you can't write to from the field isn't much use, so this is one of the few things a field seat can fully create on its o…

HSSE
Creating and closing punch list items

Steps Open Punch list and add a new item. Describe it, and tag the area, trade, and the company responsible. Set a priority and a target closing date. Attach a photo — it travel…

Logging an inspection or test

The Inspections & tests tab runs on whichever inspection framework your project is set up for — commercial ITP, industrial ITP, or a USACE-style three-phase (preparatory, in…

Switching your schedule to takt mode

Jig doesn't have a separate takt-planning module — takt is a mode on your existing Schedule tab. A project left in its default CPM mode works like an ordinary critical-path sche…

Opening drawings in Jig — DXF and IFC files

Jig opens 29 file types directly in the browser — no download required to take a look. Two of the more technical ones are worth their own walkthrough: DXF (2D drawings) opens wi…

Connecting QuickBooks Online

Steps Go to Settings → Integrations and connect QuickBooks Online — you'll sign in through Intuit and pick the QuickBooks company (or companies) you want to link. Tell each proj…

Integrations
Connecting Google Drive, Slack, Calendar, and Gmail

These four are Jig's free integration set — no separate cost, and they're account links rather than a deep data sync, so they're the fastest ones to set up. Steps Go to Settings…

Integrations
What your subcontractors can see and do

If you've been invited to a Jig project as a subcontractor, testing lab, commissioning agent, or consultant, you're set up as a scoped collaborator — free, and tied to your own …
