Context: The Sheets tool is the heart of our project record. It’s where contractual obligations are tied, drawing logs are created/archived, and continuous drawing improvements are tracked. These enhancements would materially improve accuracy, speed, and downstream coordination.
1) Bulk export & bound sharing from Collections
Request: Add “Export All” for Collections (helpful on projects with multiple AHJs—Authorities Having Jurisdiction). When sharing, allow one-click packaging that binds PDFs by Discipline (optionally by Set/Collection), with bookmarks and a simple table of contents. Support sharing all sheets or selected sheets.
Why: We frequently need to issue full libraries or discipline-specific packets fast.
2) Per-sheet Received Date
Request: Add an editable, exportable Received Date field (separate from Issue/Revision dates).
Why: GCs rarely receive sheets on the actual issue date; tracking receipt supports schedule/compliance and clears up designer revision-date gaps.
3) Full post-upload metadata editing
Request: Allow editing Discipline, Set/Collection, Sheet Number/Name, and all other sheet metadata after upload/ingestion.
Why: Setup errors happen and project structures evolve; fixing metadata without reupload keeps records clean and saves time.
4) One-click Consolidated Drawing Log with links
Request: Generate a single log across all Collections/Sets/Disciplines, exportable to PDF and CSV. Each row should include a clickable link to view/download the sheet.
Why: Logs are often contract exhibits; having a current, linkable export reduces manual curation.
5) Sheets → Files (source of truth flows down)
Request: After sheets are uploaded to Sheets Tool, automatically publish them into Files with matching folders/metadata and synced versioning.
Why: Drawings should be the source of truth; Files should inherit for downstream use (RFIs, submittals, references).
6) Configurable date stamps/watermarks on border/title block
Request: Optional stamp along the sheet border/title block with key fields (e.g., Issue Date, Received Date, First Published, Current Revision, “Issued For” status). Include in exports; make style/fields configurable.
Why: Standardized stamps reduce ambiguity in the field and during audits.
