Submittal Fields

The submittal fields contain the details of the submittal, including what is needed, who is completing the information, and when it is due.

Note: For some of the following fields, the names of the fields may be different in your instance of Viewpoint Team because they can be customized by the system administrator.

When entering a contact, you can filter the list of contacts to select one or add a new contact.

To filter the list of contacts:

  • Enter the first few letters of the contact's name to filter the list.
  • Select Team Contacts to filter the list to contacts in your enterprise.
  • Select PM Firm/Spectrum Contacts to filter the list to just contacts from your ERP system.

To add a Team user (someone who has a Team user account), enter the full email address associated with that user. Note this is not required if your enterprise is configured to limit contacts to Vista PM firms.

To add a new contact, click New Contact.
