Manpower and delays before you leave. Daily report PDF is the owner-thread copy.

A current browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge) or the installed PWA on iPad / Android.
Company Google or Microsoft Entra. Admins use an authenticator.
Trailer Wi-Fi or cell for company sync. Offline capture still works.
SharePoint, OneDrive, or Drive folders if you want the CDE links.
Optional: Outlook, Teams, Power Automate write URL for archive push.

Twenty short modules, three levels, a three-question quiz each. Pass at two of three. Progress stays on this device.

Where do I start?

dcforge.net is the landing page. Try demo with no account, or Sign in to your company. Today is the job book.

I have no jobs.

Landing → Try demo, or after sign-in Today → Load demo campus, or New → Job if you are a PM. Field cannot open a blank campus.

Will another GC see our punches?

No. Each company is its own book, members, and vault. You only see jobs you were invited to.

Punch will not close.

Field marks Ready. Superintendent or above closes. That is document rank, not a bug.

Observations vs clips?

Stills compress and sync (up to 400). Short MP4/WebM clips stay on the device until Drive archive. 5 MB max per observation.

Will Start empty wipe IFC?

Issued transmittals in retention stay unless an admin types the destroy-issued phrase.

Field cannot see Hall B.

That hall is crew-restricted. Ask an admin to add you on Admin → Jobs.

How do I share with the trailer?

Stay on Wi-Fi after you capture. The book unions. Admin Publish is for the first push or a held device.

SharePoint / Drive?

Admin → Libraries for folder URLs. Admin → Deploy for the write connector so archives land as files.

Is this the CDE?

No. DC Forge is the field/office job book. Issued PDFs still live in SharePoint, ACC, or the owner EDMS.

Spanish / big type?

EN | ES and A in the header. Prefs stay on this device.

Line card, go-live guide, pitch deck, and this build’s test battery.
