DocBoss has specific features and benefits related to delivering final submittals to your EPC customers at the end of projects.
Let’s discuss both incoming and outgoing submittals and some of the things you can do in each instance.
Submittal Management – Incoming
Add Data to Internal Submittals
We have changed the “incoming from internal” submittal creation pop up. Users can now select a company, and assign a submittal number if provided.
Disable Bulk Process screens when all docs are processed
when you want to speed up the receipt of documents, you can use the bulk processing process. But – once you have processed all documents, it can be confusing to see the documents in the match/status sub-tabs. To avoid confusion, we now turn OFF the bulk submittal interface for each submittal, once all documents have been fully processed.
Open assigned docs tab for completed submittals
When opening the incoming submittals screen, documents are listed in 2 tabs – “Unassigned” and “Assigned”. On submittals where all documents have been processed, we will default to displaying the “assigned” tab.
Display comments on INCOMING documents
DocBoss allows users to apply markups to documents, which are then encoded as adobe comments. We now extract the same type of comments/markup from INCOMING documents. If you customers have added comments/markups to their documents, when you bring them into DocBoss they will be be pulled into the normal DocBoss viewer for you to review.
Submittal Management – Outgoing
Keep customer cover page option added to outbound to supplier grid
When documents are received back from your customer, and you wish to forward them to your supplier for review you have the option to maintain the customer cover sheet, or remove it.
However, this option is only available from the assign screen when the document is first received. We have added this option to the outgoing grid so you can now make this decision later in the process.
