Every button and field name was copied from the screen, every rule and message was checked against that build, and every figure is a screenshot of Structally taken on the same day (some from the builds just before it, whose screens are the same). When Structally changes, the guide is checked again and a new guide version is published; the version menu at the top of the Help Center lists earlier versions.
The Sample Company¶
The examples and screenshots use Cedar Ridge Contracting, a fictional general contractor with three years of history (October 2023 to September 2026):
- service and remodel jobs numbered J-1001 to J-1036, billed by ordinary invoices;
- four larger contract jobs, J-2001 to J-2004, billed monthly through schedules of values and pay applications, with subcontracts and purchase orders that hold retainage; J-2004 Summit Tech Park Office Building is still in progress;
- monthly forecasts and work-in-progress schedules for the last twelve months;
- bank accounts, an imported bank statement and completed reconciliations.
The Training Exercises use a second, empty company, Cedar Ridge Training, to show setting up and running a project from the beginning.
All names, amounts, addresses and email addresses are invented. Sign-in names such as demo-admin@example.test belong to the sample company and show the role being used in a screenshot.
Conventions¶
| Convention | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Post Bill | A button, link, field, column or menu item, written exactly as it appears on the screen. |
| Vendors & Bills → Bills → New Bill | A path through the navigation or the page. |
| 3 | A numbered callout on a figure; the list under the figure explains it. |
| Vendor must be active. | A message Structally shows, quoted word for word. |
| $26,400.00 | An amount in the text. Tables that reproduce a screen use the screen's format (26,400.00). |
| September 30, 2026 | A date in the text. Values quoted from a screen keep the screen's format (2026-09-30). |
Each task page follows the same order: what the task is for, Before You Begin, Navigation, the steps, a Field Reference, a Worked Example, What Happens After You Save or Post (with the journal entry when money moves), Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting, and Related Topics.
Figures are numbered by part of the guide: Figure 3-5 is the fifth figure in part 3, Vendors & Bills. Click any figure to enlarge it.
