Announced on the Autodesk blog:
“We are pleased to announce the availability of the newest BIM 360 Docs feature for generating and tracking document transmittals. We designed this feature to support the formal process used in the AEC industry for conveying information (usually project drawings, models, and other documents) from one project team member to one or more other project team members. Examples for using transmittals include:
- General Contractor issuing a transmittal to Subcontractors bidding on a project.
- Design Architect issuing a transmittal to the Owner and/or General Contractor
This release includes the following capabilities:
For Transmittal creators
- Select one or more documents or an entire folder (Plans and Project Files folders)
- Select users, roles, or companies
- Add a description and instructions (for example, what is the purpose and is any action required)
- Automatic email notifications to recipients
- A new Transmittals tab with complete list of all sent and received transmittals
- View contents and recipients of each document transmittal (version-specific)
- All activity tracked in the project-level Activity Log
For Transmittal recipients
- Receive email notifications
- A new Transmittal tab for viewing and accessing all relevant transmittals
- View complete list of contents of each transmittal and view the specific versions of drawings and models that were shared
- Export and download the entire group of documents and files transmitted (in a ZIP file)…”
