Aspire Users: How to Configure Protiv to Use Opportunities as Jobs and Import Work Tickets as Milestones

This article explains how Aspire users can combine multiple work tickets into a single opportunity in Protiv and configure milestones for phased payments.

Overview of Aspire Integration:

  • Aspire uses a parent-child structure: opportunities (parent) and work tickets (child).
  • By default, each work ticket becomes a job in Protiv.
  • All attendance is linked to a Worker Ticket

The goal of the new feature:

The primary goal of this feature is to simplify project management for large, multi-phase jobs by combining work tickets under a single opportunity. This allows for more streamlined tracking and reporting in Protiv while providing phased payments via milestones, ensuring better project oversight and worker incentives.

Steps to Combine Work Tickets:

  1. Navigate to the Aspire integration settings in Protiv.

2.   Select the services to categorize and combine work tickets under one opportunity.

3.   Save the configuration. Protiv will sum up the work tickets to create a single opportunity.

Ways to Setup Milestones: 

Manual Milestone Import:

  • Edit an existing ProPay that meets your criteria; go to the Create ProPay page.
  • Under the Milestone section, select the Import button.

  • Choose the work tickets to import, then configure how you want the budgets calculated (e.g., hours, contract price, labor budget).

  • Follow the prompts to complete the import, then select Update ProPay to generate milestones, which will display in the ProPay Detail page. Each milestone will show a lightning icon to indicate it is being synced from an external source.

Automatic Milestone Import:

  • Navigate to the Automation page, and when creating a new automation, toggle on the "Add Milestones Automatically?" option. This setting will automatically add milestones based on your job integration setup.

Why Use This Setup:

  • Perfect for large, multi-phase projects where progress payments are required.
  • Automates tracking and bonus payments based on work ticket completion.
