The Issues log window organizes various project documents by issue. Issues can encompass a wide range of project concerns, such as problems that must be resolved before a job is completed, or conditions that can lead to changes or claims. Organizing project information by issue enables you to quickly review each problem that may affect the project schedule or costs at completion.

From this window, you can view issue details, add an issue, print a report or form, or link documents to an issue.
