Add Document


Contents

Overview

Add Document is a basic function and broadly common to all Registers.

Add Document button enables the User to process new documents (or other registered information).  This requires the user to select the Register they wish to add the document to, and then complete the form entry, upload attachments, send conversations, and so on...

Screen Explanation

New Document - Select Register pop-up

Upon selecting the Add Document button, you will be presented with the 'Select Register' pop-up.  This pop-up displays the List of Registers that you have access to.

Your default 'Project' will be based on your 'Last Project' used.  However, this can be changed to a different Project if it requires another Project.  The Register can be selected by either selecting from the dropdown option or typing a code or description that possibly matches a Register in the list.


Field

Description

Register

It displays the list of Registers a User has access to.  You can select a Register either by selecting from the dropdown list or typing a code or description in the field that potentially matches a Register from the list. 

Document Tabs - Count Information

As information is added to the Document, Tabs are also updated with that additional information.  This functionality automatically sets for the Attachments, Conversation, Workflows, Routings, Comments, Cross References, and Media tabs when those pages are added.

However, for some Registers configured with 'Use as Transmittal Register = True', a Transmittals tab will also be displayed in the Document form entry.  Revisable Registers will have a Transmittals tab in its Document form entry (this allows access to the Transmittal or Submission used to deliver the Drawings).

The Details tab is updated to reflect the Document Number and other pertinent information regarding the document, and the other Tabs are updated with the count of records added to that specific Tab.



Transmittal Registration - Transmittals Tab

Document Form Screen

A Register's documents can be viewed in the detailed Form Entry view, based on how the Register has been configured.  It provides the ability to add more information to a document; this includes uploading attachments, sending conversations, routing the Document, cross-referencing, adding comments, and initiating a Workflow against the document.  The document form entry comprises - Action bar, Tabs, and fields.

Note that you are not allowed from using Document Form tabs until the Document is Saved.  Whenever you attempt to use any of these Document Form tabs, a warning message will be presented, e.g. 'The Document must be saved and created first in order to utilize the Attachment section.'

Details Tab

The Details tab reflects the fields configured in the Register Designer for the Register that has been selected.  Every field and drop-down value are entirely based on the Project's (or Company's) chosen configuration for the Register.

Fields can be non-mandatory or mandatory for entry to enable the User to save the Document. Fields marked with a red asterisk ( * ) are mandatory.

Document Status field uses colour code as configured in the Register Designer.


Notes for Drop-down fields control (applicable to all screen with fields that has drop-downs):

1. When typing in a search text in a drop-down field and no result is selected, then the control loses focus then the field will be blank.

2. When typing in a search text in a drop-down field and no results are found, a message will be shown, 'No Records Found' just like the lookup control.


Label/IconDescription
This red 'Unsaved' label will appear once a new Document is not yet saved; or whenever the Document is modified. This label ensures the User never forget to save the change.

This red 'Exclamation' icon is displayed once the new Document is not yet 'Published' or not available to the 'Public' yet. This label disappears only when the Document is already set to Published (ie. the selected Status = Published) and a green check-mark will appear.


Document Form Entry - Snapshot

Document Snapshot provides an immediate snapshot summary upon opening the Document in regards to its overall status, activity, and visibility.
