Quick answers

  • Agents. Your account manager builds them. Describe what you need and they will build and iterate. Common ones: insurance and compliance tracking, WIP analysis, reconciliation, automated billings.

  • AIA exports. Choose AIA-style summary when exporting a draw. It covers the same information as a G702 but is not the official format. Fill in period, contractor, architect and signature lines on the draw's Summary tab. An exact format match can be built as an agent.

  • Change orders. Turn on change tracking in a job's settings, or globally under Settings, General. Three types: external for client signature, internal for your team, and budget modification. Internal changes never appear on draw packages.

  • Retainage. Set a default for draws and POs under Settings, General. Override per draw, per line item, or across all lines using the pen icon on the draw schedule.

  • Draw previews. Exporting is the preview. It does not send anything to your client or sync to QuickBooks.

  • Historical data. Easiest path is getting it into QuickBooks, which syncs to Adaptive automatically.

  • Manual linking. Use it when timing is off, or for accounts that will not connect through Plaid. Upload a statement to the AI assistant to cross-reference for anything missing.

  • Vendor documents. Bulk import is available. We recently loaded 2,700 documents in under an hour.
