    If I had to learn one thing over again, it would be how important custom tools and custom columns really are. Learn how to create them and how the data that comes from them can be worked.
    Data, and how we work that data, is becoming increasingly important in today’s construction environment. We need to harness it.

    Welcome Anthony.

    The answers to your questions are going to highly depend on your workflows.
    I can really only answer one of them, and that’s to the standardized template…. Yes. Profiles can be shared.
    The rest are all going to depend on just how far you want to take it.

    If I had a tip… Learn.
    When you start with a problem, you want to figure out where you want to go – your target condition. Then you want to see where you are now – your current condition. Then you just have to figure out how to get there and what obstacles do you need to overcome.
    You also should base everything on need. Ask yourself, “What problem am I trying to solve.”

    Once you’re there, you can work the problem one step at a time to achieve your goals.

    If you like, search out the Morning Coffee Revu at ATG and join us Tuesday mornings at 9:30 EDT for a great webinar and chat.

    Don’t be afraid to ask questions. That’s what we’re here for.

    veneer direction on plywood is a thing in the Millwork trade, however it does occasionally come up in Architectural metals as well
