DocBoss 2022 Year In Review
As 2022 draws to a close, we thought we would highlight some of the key events that happened this year…
There are many configurations on the Code List (Requirements) grid that will affect the setup and management of cards on your project. Below is a general description of the columns available in this grid.
This is the DocCode that will appear as reference on your card.
If your customer has requested a document code but the contents are covered by another doc code being supplied, that code will be selected here.
For example, a Wiring Diagram might be included in the Installation manual. The Wiring Diagram’s “Included In” would be set to Installation manual. The line for the Wiring Diagram will turn dark grey once the change is saved, indicating it is now an “Included In” code. Note – both the wiring diagram and Installation manual doc codes will appear on the cover page of the installation manual.
If the customer has requested a document code but it is Not Applicable for the project, you can set the Level to N/A. This allows you to still enter the code for tracking purposes but identifies that the cards for this code won’t exist because the Doc Code is N/A.
This is to specify the source the document for the first upload to DocBoss. This is a drop-down selection of 5 options.
This is the instruction to DocBoss that indicates how the cards are made. To understand levels, you need only ask the following question of each doc code: We need one [fill in document name] for every […fill in this blank with a grouping from your order detail… ] The “fill in the blank” portion is your “LEVEL”. Some typical examples, below:
This field is to be used to enter a number representing working days. A value of 20 would represent 4 weeks. By combing the reference date below and the delivery days, you have a timeline for you to issue the documents to your customer.
This column is used to determine when you will be submitting your documents to the customer. The Delivery days column and the reference date column are combined to provide the timeline.
Do you need to submit your documents with a Cover Pages or add a Stamp? There is a drop-down selection to allow you to manage this by each code. Note the Cover Page template or Stamp Template must already be added to the system and selected on your main set up to use this function.

This is a drop-down selection and is the available document workflows that have been pre-created in your instance/project. (For Stage List set up click here.)
