New 3 Column Format

We have had a lot of comments about names and other information being truncated in the .pdf version of the Construction Monitor. We understand the importance of complete and accurate information and therefore we have created a 3 column version of the Construction Monitor newsletter that provides more space to display the permit information.

This will also benefit those of you who like to make notes in whatever whitespace you can find. There is lots more of that with this 3 column version.

Starting with week 16 the 3 column format will be the default for all area publications. As always we love to hear your comments and any feedback you can provide us is welcome.

It almost seems impossible, but we do actually have a 5 column format that we used many years ago. Imagine viewing all that same information scrunched into 5 columns. Nostalgia.

Thanks to those who contacted us concerning this issue.

Goodbye .dbf file

Several months ago we started notifying customers that we were going to discontinue sending out a .dbf version of the Construction Monitor. Instead we will be sending a more universal and easier to use .csv file.

This change offers many benefits to current and future subscribers to the Construction Monitor. It also gives us more flexibility moving forward as we strive to upgrade and improve your Construction Monitor Newsletter.

Starting this week, the .dbf file will no longer be attached to the weekly email.

Please call or email if you have any concerns or need assistance migrating to the new .csv format.

Thank you,

Dave Jr
