Rather than uploading your custom submittal page from your computer, it would be nice if you could edit/customize the "Built-in" submittal cover page.

gardinernJWXTW · ‎11-01-2024

It would be very helpful if there was a "previous" and "next" submittal button to toggle through the submittals in order rather than having to back out to the main submittal list and select the next submittal each time. It would be best if it was able to toggle through the filtered main list if a filter was applied. For example, I need to work through tasks in my court, so to filter by Ball in Court, then toggle to the "next" in the list would be much faster than going back to the list page to select the next submittal.

Every firm I’ve ever crossed paths with has some sort of disclaimer that is included with the returned submittal as part of the submittal stamp with the submittal status. Example is below. The missing piece is that there is nowhere to build the workflows so that it is included with every submittal. Build users are left with manually typing this or copy/pasting it for every submittal (assuming folks remember to do it) or adding it as a markup.

We need an option to toggle on an automated (scheduled) email reminder for items in the different modules at different time frames. F For example, as a Document Controller, you need to automatically trigger an email to an Engineer when an RFI response or Submittal review is due within 5 days, another when it is due in 3 days, and then daily once it is overdue. Many users would benefit from an email to prompt them to take action. This is helpful in the interim until users are accustomed to working directly out of the ACC and relying on each modules home page to see where items are in their status.

There is currently the ability to upload a custom cover page but this requires uploading each time. Could a cover page template that has fields prefilled based on the project/submittal be uploaded once and a single click to add to the submittal?

rbowenSHNUD · ‎09-25-2024

As project teams change, the person(s) responsible for reviewing submittals changes. When updating the review workflow it will only apply itself to submittals created after the workflow had been updated. There should be an option to update the workflow of every open submittal so that each one does not have to be manually updated.

If the specification module is being used, allow for the "spec sections" within submittals to be automatically populated. Allow for custom specification sections in the event that a submittal follows a specification that is not uploaded to the spec sections.

jredelman · ‎12-13-2024

We need the ability to include more than one spec section when building a submittal package. Vendors often send bulk submittals in one pdf file. For example, ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, check valves, etc. may all be in one package sent to the contractor, but each valve is a different spec section. That package either has to be broken up into separate files by spec section or somehow communicated that the submission contains materials across multiple spec sections, and if you do that, it is not accurately reflected in the submittal log because the log will only indicate one spec section for the submittal. Example submittal is attached for reference.

Usually there is legal jargon on a typical submittal stamp that represents protecting the company stamping the documents. This is necessary information - ie legal jargon. The option to create a stamp in the submittal review area with dynamic selections is an efficiency feature, but the option to add legal jargon everytime takes the efficiency off the table and becomes a hassle. It would be nice if either API or a project template could have the legal jargon already on the stamp when selected during the review and stamp stage of a submittal. This way a company can control the text and not an individual who might forget to add this legal jargon. Please create this feature. Thank you,

Have the ability to assign a color to markups made by each reviewer step i.e. contrator - green, EOR - red, owner/client - blue.

I would like the ability to enable default filters. 80% of the time, my subs and I would like to open submittals to go straight to shop drawings. I would like to have this filter enabled as default until I am ready to switch it off.

acope9Y4TB · ‎11-21-2024

I would like to see an Ai review feature in submittals that reviews the provided submittal versus the specification. I can see this being beneficial to a reviewer for product data. Shop drawings may not work for this feature. Looking for a cursory review of the submittal for compliance prior to a reviewer even having to look at the submittal. This would save us a significant amount a time on submittal reviews.

rbowenSHNUD · ‎09-06-2024

When a responsible subcontractor uploads a submittal and submits, the submittal gets reviewed by the 'submittal manager' prior to sending to the submittal 'reviewer'. Often times the submittal needs to be returned to the responsible contractor. There is the option to step back but there is not the ability to include an attachment or provide detailed notes - the 'note' section is not conducive to this. It would be very helpful to have the same process in a step back as there is when moving the submittal forward through the review process.

kfieldEXYNJ · ‎05-02-2024

It would be great to have the option to not "assign to responsible contractor" For our current workflows, only the General Contractor send submittals on behalf of their subcontractors. Basically the GC needs to assign the submittal to themselves, then send it to the Consultant. Its a redundant step. Have the option to "toggle off" the "responsible contractor" section in submittals would be great!

Add custom fields to sumbittals.

rbowenSHNUD · ‎07-29-2024

The current limit on a single page to view sheets - 100, the current limit on a single page to view submittals - 50. Is there a reason that this list can not be a full list of the first page? At least increase to 100. Additionally when selecting a submittal to view from say 51-75 of 75, when returning to the submittal list it brings you back to the 1-50 of 75. I would be much more convenient to return back to the location where you clicked on the submittal.

sfedak · ‎05-01-2024

We noticed that if you are working on a submittal review, you cannot save it and come back to it later. You have to complete the review and provide a response if you want your markups saved. Some submittals are huge and can take several days review. The only work around right now is to download the submittal and work with it offline until you are ready to re-upload. This is not a great solution. Please provide a feature to save markups within Submittals without formally providing a response until you're ready.

Brett.Krouskop · ‎04-29-2024

There are multiple places in ACC where you need to enter long lists of data one item at a time. This is extremely time consuming and error prone. There should be a way to import lists like that from a spreadsheet or csv file. Areas where this would be a huge help include: Build - Sheets - Settings - Disciplines (This one in particular should be in the project template!) Build - Submittals - Packages - Create Package Build - Submittals - Spec sections- Create spec section

Rosenthal.Tomer · ‎08-17-2023

Now we can add our own custom attributes for Issues and RFIs. We also need the same methodology for Submittals. As an example: we want to categorize our Submittals meaning that when creating a submittal the user can choose a subtype. Another example is that we want to add an attribute to define the internal priority of the Submittal (low, medium, high) or designate submittals for specific phases or buildings of a project.

In the submittal review workflow if you have multiple submittal steps you are not able to remove the second reviewer from the workflow once the first reviewer has completed their review. Example: Submittal was submitted with a two step review workflow - first reviewer (EOR), second reviewer(Owner). Upon completion of review by the first reviewer, it was determined that the owner (second reviewer) did not need to review the submittal that was now in their court. The workflow does not allow for deletion of the current step of the review workflow (this previously was an option) and push to next step or to close and distribute. The workaround is to approve on behalf of the second reviewer but submittal managers should be able to remove a step in the workflow at any step in the process.
