Project Publisher Overview

You must be a Project Center administrator to publish a project. Your site must have a Newforma Contract Management license to publish contract management items.

Project Publisher enables you to package selected project documents to archive a project at defined milestones as well as publish a project (also known as project closeout or handover) to your clients at the end of the project. It enables you to select the information you’d like to publish (including record documents, submittals, change orders, and other project items), set the appearance of the information, and then publish the results as .PDF or .HTML files to an optical disk or network folder.

After publishing a project, you’ll have access to:

●        A document made up of a title page and a table of contents, which acts as a directory to the information;

●        Documentation files about the construction, operations, or maintenance of the building;

●        A log of the final record documents, submittals, RFIs, change orders, etc. for the project along with associated files.

You can publish the following types of project data:

●        Contract management items

●        Daily reports

●        Document sets

●        Field notes

●        Meeting minutes

●        Models and elements

●        Project team

●        Punch lists

●        Record documents

●        Site visits

●        Space items

Contract Management items include the final sent transmittal record copy files and can include the original received record copies as well.

 

Templates
