Adding a Custom Backfill

Sage Paperless Construction Administrators can set up their own custom backfills based on tables located in their bridged accounting system, or from any database with a Query List set up in the Query List section. (Refer to Query Lists)

 

1.From the ribbon toolbar, click Administration.

2.Click Backfills, BackfillsButton.
 
The Backfills window similar to the following displays:
 
BackfillScreen
 
There is a Filter text field where you can start to enter a backfill to narrow the list.
Not only can you filter on the Name column entries, but you can also filter on the Backfill Type column entries too.
 
You can click to highlight an existing backfill entry. If the backfill entry you are looking for does not display on the Backfills window without scrolling, start to enter that backfill in the Filter text box. This will narrow the list of backfills.
 
To edit existing backfills, you can double-click on the backfill displaying in the Name column. The Backfill Properties window will open for that backfill.
 

3.Click Add Backfill.
 
A blank Backfill Properties window displays:
