  1. Documents & Communication

Documents

The Documents page inside each project allows you to manage, store, and organize all project-related files based on the Folder Structure selected during project creation.
It acts as a smart file management center where engineers, managers, and production teams can easily access the latest drawings, releases, and documentation.

šŸ“ Where to Find the Documents Page
Navigate to:
Projects → Select a Project → Documents
At the top of the page, you will find:
Project selector – Switch between your projects
Phases selector – Filter files that may be tied to a specific phase

Understanding the Document Manager Layout#

The Documents page is divided into two main sections:

1. Folder Tree (Left Side)#

Shows all folders automatically generated from the Folder Structure chosen when creating the project.
Example structure:
12345
ā”œā”€ā”€ doc 1
ā”œā”€ā”€ doc 2
└── Releases
This tree view allows you to:
Expand or collapse folders
Navigate quickly between document categories

2. Folder Contents (Right Side)#

Displays all files and sub-folders inside the selected folder.
Columns include:
ColumnDescription
NameFile or folder name
ModifiedLast modified date
SizeFile size (if applicable)
You can also use:
Search bar to find documents quickly
View toggle to switch between grid and list display
Refresh to update the folder contents

āž• Main Tools and Actions#

āž• Create a New Folder#

Click New Folder to create additional sub-folders for better organization.

Upload Files#

Upload any file type (drawings, PDFs, documents, images, etc.) by selecting:
Upload → Upload Files
or
Drag-and-drop files directly into the right-side panel
Uploaded documents are automatically stored in the selected folder.

↕ Sort By#

Organize your files by:
Name
Date modified
Size

File Actions#

Hovering over a file reveals additional options (varies depending on system capabilities):
Download
Rename
Delete
Replace file
Version control (if enabled)

Folder Structure Integration#

When creating a project, you select a Folder Structure Template, such as:
New EE
Main Doc
New SS
The chosen template automatically builds the folder hierarchy inside the Documents page.
This ensures:
Consistent document management
Standardized naming across all projects
Automatic preparation of required document categories (e.g., Releases, IFC, Drawings)

Uploading Documents Based on Project Structure#

Example Workflow:#

1.
Navigate to Documents
2.
Select the folder: Releases
3.
Click Upload → Upload File
4.
Choose release drawings or packages
5.
The system saves them in the correct folder associated with the project
This helps ensure engineering, QC, and production teams always work with the correct files.

šŸ” Access & Permissions#

Based on user roles, some users may have permissions such as:
View only
Upload files
Manage folders
Delete or rename files
This ensures sensitive documents remain secure.

⭐ Best Practices#

Upload updated drawings or releases immediately to avoid production delays
Establish naming conventions for files (e.g., Phase01_Release_v3.pdf)
Keep outdated files removed or archived to prevent confusion
Store all official communications or revisions in appropriate folders
Encourage teams to refresh the view before downloading files

šŸ”— Related Project Sections#

Buildings – Store per-building drawings
Phases Explorer – Track revision changes
Messages – Communicate updates related to uploaded documents
Routing Setup – Link routing instructions to specific documents
