The System Drive serves as a secure, automated repository for successfully closed project records, ensuring data integrity by prohibiting manual folder modifications. This structured environment provides a definitive archive for all published project documentation and field reports.
- Automatically generates folders such as Submittals, RFIs, Change Orders, and Daily Reports to house the PDF versions with all associated attachments of the respective types of documents.
- Auto-saves PDF versions of Daily Field Reports (SC/GC) and Daily Jobsite Reports (GC) whenever a download is manually generated, ensuring a permanent record of site activities.
- Restricts file access automatically to participants of the original response or approval workflows, while allowing authorized users to view, download, and retrieve data from any device.
- Facilitates continued collaboration through integrated annotation tools for PDF markups and a shared commenting system visible to all users with file access.
This structured and secure approach ensures efficient document management and enhances project recordkeeping.
