The Department works through Estimating Seats. One Seat means one active job at a time. Behind it is the queue of work you have chosen to pursue — reorder it, pause it, or run one extra job with Surge when the Seat is full.
The active project shows the estimating level, bid date, working days remaining and production progress — quantities, scope, crews and pricing — so you always know where the estimate stands. One Seat means one active job; Surge is not a Seat and never shows as one. When the business regularly needs more than one lane, add another permanent Seat.

Behind the active job is the queue of work you have chosen to pursue. Drag to reprioritize, pause a job, change its priority, or activate another job right now. The Department works on whatever you put first — what's next is always your call.
When your Estimating Seat is full and another job cannot wait, use a Surge credit to run a temporary second active job within the same Seat — not a new column, not a permanent seat. The active job keeps moving; the Surge job runs alongside it until the Seat frees up.
