Link multiple Submittal items to one submission

[jebbruce]

If you use AutoSpec, it creates individual submittal items under for a spec section (product data, warranties, shop drawings, etc.). If the Responsible Contractor has multiple items in a single PDF file being sent in for review, they have do one of the following:
-attach the same PDF to each item and submit them
-the person creating the submittal entries has to combined from the start
-they have to break each type out (not typically possible) in its own PDF file.

It would be helpful to be able to bulk submit one PDF that covers multiple items, so the reviewers don't have to review the same file multiple times. I would think that packaging would be the ideal thing for this, but currently that only creates an association for them as a reference point in Submittals and doesn't bind them together for a single review.

Maybe the current packaging feature should be changed to associate similar item/system with something Asset based, and then repurpose the packaging to allow bundling of submittal items together so one PDF/file can be reviewed for multiple items.

I second this point. I would offer up having a function added to the existing "Submittals-->Packages" tab to upload a PDF to the package itself. From there, ACC would need to auto associate with each submittal within the package. This would be a logical way to accomplish this association. The caution would be if a submittal packages contains 10+ submittals, it has potential to get messy if there are changes required to specific individual submittals.

Yes!  We need to be able to select multiple submittal items under a specification section to be captured with one pdf submission in that single submittal submission.  Having to submit the same pdf under each submittal item is a waste of time.

Please make this a high priority.  The fact that multiple submittal items cannot be selected under a specification section has been a sticking point for me in using the Submittal feature.  It is highly important to be able to check the box, so to speak, on the submittal register and close out submittals.
