Steps​

Step 1: Open the dashboard with the Temporary Works Status Pipeline widget​

Navigate to your PlanOps dashboard and locate the Temporary Works Status Pipeline widget card, which shows a horizontal set of status columns for your temporary works items.

At the top of the widget, check the header and total count of temporary works items to understand the overall volume currently tracked in the pipeline.

Step 3: Scan items by status across the pipeline​

Look across the ordered status columns (for example Registered, Design In Progress, Design Approved, Erected, In Use, Struck, Removed) to see how many items sit in each stage of the lifecycle.

Step 4: Identify status categories using colour coding​

Use the coloured status indicators for each column (such as blue for Registered, amber for Design In Progress, green for Design Approved, purple for Erected, teal for In Use, and grey tones for Struck and Removed) to quickly distinguish different stages at a glance.

Step 5: Inspect individual temporary works items​

Within a chosen status column, review each item card to see its reference, description, temporary works type, associated project name, and any inspection or scheduling context that helps you understand its current situation.

Step 6: Assess risk levels using the coloured risk dots​

For each item, use the small coloured risk indicator dot (green for low, amber for medium, orange for high, red for critical) to prioritise attention on higher risk temporary works.

Step 7: Spot overdue inspections​

Look for visual flags or highlighting on items marked as overdue inspections so you can quickly identify where action is required to bring inspections back on schedule.

Step 8: Filter mentally by project using project names​

Use the project name displayed for each item to mentally group items by project, so you can focus on specific sites or packages when assessing workload and risk.

Step 10: Understand loading or error states​

If the widget is still loading, a skeleton placeholder layout appears, and if there is a problem retrieving data an alert with an error icon is shown so you know the pipeline content is temporarily unavailable.
