    The trade list is organized according to MasterFormat 2016. During registration for COMPASS, subcontractors designate up to five top-level primary trades and specify secondary trades within each category.

  • Requires My Review: Selecting this filter shows only subcontractors that need the user's review as part of a company qualification workflow. It displays subcontractors at the stage where the user’s review is required, helping reviewers focus on their assigned tasks.

Clear All: To return to an unfiltered view select Clear All.

Save as New View: After applying filters, the Qualification Management page will reload based on the selected criteria. Users can choose Save as New View to save the filtered results as a new view. These saved views can be accessed by selecting the dropdown menu in the Qualification Request tab.
