Project Protocol
Multi-lingual protocol is a key part of any project. All main events,
directions, comments, etc., are reported/outlined here.
Explanations, sketches pictures, documents, etc. can be included into protocol
to provide clearer definition of comments.

|
Project Documents
Every uploaded file or link can be commented on, to support more complete
communications. Files and links are commented on to provide more complete
project input into protocol system. This is the most used feature by our
clients who wish to communicate information to more than one source at the same
time, yet have an updated and up-to date version available at all times. For
example, Prime Edge Asbuilt Services (www.primeedge.com)
uses this feature to distribute asbuilt documents to Architect, Contrctor and
the owner all at the same time. Because such documentation is essential at the
start of a remodeling project, most clients continue using the system as part
of the design tool due to its functionality and rapid document access
functions.

Project Checklist
Projects include different components that are used by members of the team. For
this particular project template (floor plans/elevations), 4 parts of the
project ("client", "designer", "project management", "company management") have
been created automatically when the project was set up. Lists of database
applications have been keyed to every part of the project. For "Designer" part
of the project, "Check list" application was included to check completeness of
drawings.
