Contents

Overview

Latest Drawings page allows a User to download the latest attachments from a selected list of documents (e.g. Drawings).

Screen Explanation

Latest Drawings has two tabs - Search for Documents (Tab1) and To be Downloaded (Tab 2).

Search for Documents (Tab1)

To select Attachments, User must first select one Revisable Register from the drop-down list. By default, the check-boxes  'Show Superseded', 'Show without Attachments' and 'Show All Revisions' are not ticked; i.e., only base data with latest revisions are displayed in the search result. Tab 1 displays up to 300 maximum rows.

          -  User can select an existing collection from the Display Collections drop-down list. All Document rows in the selected Collection (either with or without Attachments) are displayed.

To be Downloaded (Tab 2)

This tab displays the selected Attachments/Documents; it also shows the 'Count' of rows that are to be Downloaded. On this tab, the User can edit the selected Attachments by deleting from the list or adding more to be downloaded. In case the User opted to select another Document or change the Attachment by selecting another Revision, he/she must go back to Tab 1 to search for Documents/Attachments again.
