Folder Construction Application for Payment FREE Training

This section contains FREE self-paced Construction Application for Payment Solution (CAPS) Audio/Video training using .mp4 videos. All items are designed to provide a thorough overview to setting up and using Construction Application for Payment Solution to generate your Percentage of Completion Contract Billings.

The most important videos to watch are:

  • Video #3 - Construction Application for Payment Solution Initial Setup
  • Video #4 - Construction Application for Payment Solution QuickBooks Setup
  • Video #5 - Construction Application for Payment Solution Generating Your AIA® Type billings

We have found that customers who take advantage of these FREE Training mechanisms are much happier with their software, as they actually get to "see the program in action" while the setup procedures are explained and demonstrated.

These training modules can also be found on our Web Service Center (where you download your software). 

Screenshots shown in the videos may differ slightly from the actual screens you see in the program, however, setup instruction remain the same. Please realize that we spend approximately 250 hours of our time creating these videos that are available here, therefore, it is not an easy task to keep them updated.

 


Folder AIA® Style Billing How-To Support Videos

This section contains several short videos which cover our most frequent Support Calls.  All of the information in these videos also have written instruction in our printed and .pdf manuals as well as in the In-Program Help file (accessed from the big ? mark in the lower right corner of each window).

Topics covered include:  How to backup your data, How to restore your data, how to find your "lost" data, and more.

These videos have been created in an mp4 file format - which means they should run using whatever video software you have installed on your computer; heck they even work with the HP MediaSmart Video player on my laptop!
