Let us embark on a journey of discovery and restoration as we delve into the world of Deconstruction sources. These sources breathe new life into wood that would have otherwise gone to waste, ensuring that the stories of these once-great structures are carried on for generations to come. Imagine the history and character that could be infused into your projects using Deconstruction sources, such as anything from an old cabin or farmhouse to a grand government building. Join us on this exciting adventure as we explore the possibilities of Deconstruction sources!
Required User Level(s): Admin, Manager, Operator may add/edit/delete. Visitors may view Sources information on a specific item, if enabled.
Add a Deconstruction Material
From your left hand navigation in Traece™, click on the Sources button
Click on Add New Source
Click Source Type
Select Deconstruction
The New Source modal contains various data points that you may wish to enter in order to present as much information as possible about a unique individual tree.
Source Info
Removal Date: This defaults to the current Month/Day/Year
Species: This drop-down list is populated with the Trees (species) defined under your Configuration settings for Species
Label: This is a required field. Label should be something that helps you and your team readily identify this Source Structure.
For instance, suppose you have a Source Structure that has been recently demolished from the historic district of your town. To make it easier for you to retrieve information about this specific structure later, you could assign a unique label to it such as "Downtown Mercantile decon".
Board Feet (Source Structure): Board Feet is a read-only field that populates as soon as lumber, bundles, or slabs have been created from this Source Structure. The board foot calculations from those items are represented in a sum total in the Board Feet field
Public: If left unchecked, this field obfuscates the exact location from the Public view. In other words, if you enter in a specific street address for a Source Structure, clicking Public would make that address visible, whereas leaving it unchecked would make that location more general than specific.
Processed: This is a legacy feature that predates the ability to add Status to logs. Traece™ recommends you use the customizable Status field rather than processed.
Location & Contact Info
Place: When you place a pin/marker on the integrated Map when adding a Source Structure, Place brings up a list of possible locations and addresses that you can then select to tie to this Source Structure.

Note: When you select Location Type, you have the option to select Circle Precision for a certain mile radius from the origin source
Upload a File: You may choose to attach images, videos, and PDFs of a Source Structure here. This is an excellent way to start telling the story of your products from the originating source.
NOTE: Supported formats: JPG, PNG, mp4, PDF
Description: Provide details of the Source Structure you intend to capture. The description may include the reason for the building's demolition, its age, specific information about its history, or any other relevant details that you would like to associate with the Source Structure and its resulting products in the long term.
