What's New for Users

Users can use the following enhancements to get the project information they need quickly.

Issues

Use issues to capture, monitor, and mitigate project risk. Observations that might impact project scope of carry general risk can be logged as issues and assigned to team members. Issues are tracked until they’re either closed out or evolve into an RFI or change order.

Any member of the project team can create an issue. The Responsible Party assigns a member of the project team who becomes accountable, then monitors the issue until it’s ultimately closed.

Issues may contain detailed supporting information, including attachments, descriptions, plan/spec references, as well as rough estimate of cost, priority indicators, and more.

In addition to the issue register for sorting and filtering issues, you’re able to designate public/private, CC interested parties, add comments, create revisions, and more.

Move Documents and Folders in Bulk

Multiple folders and documents can be selected and moved in bulk. Once moved, the folders/documents inherit the new parent folder’s security settings, and the history tab retains information on their origin.

Attachments Preview

Save time by viewing the file names of RFI, submittal, and issue attachments within the register view. Click on a file name to open that attachment in a new browser tab or window without clicking through the details page.
