Multiple Specifications

Multiple Specifications

Our project has nine (9) Specification books, but because they share the same Spec Numbers, not all can be uploaded into the Specifications tool. As a result, eight of the nine are stored in the Files tool instead of being centralized in Specifications tool. The request is for functionality similar to Sheets' collections, allowing separate specification collections so different spec sets can coexist without conflict. The current workaround requires splitting each page into individual PDFs and uploading them separately, which is inefficient and difficult to manage.

I have the same problem with my project, I will have 6 different Specification Sets for each Design Package.  A collection for Specifications would really help with this problem.  Loading each Design Package up as  separate "Version" is not a solution as you can't update previous versions when a new design revision is sent out.  Please create COLLECTIONS for Specifications and also allow Tagging like on Sheets.

Adding the Collections solution would be helpful to address this scenario, which will occur in many projects.  Please also consider how this data would then flow into the Submittal Log Generation tool to push to the Submittals module.  Our team will need to use our legacy Autospecs tool and do a spreadsheet import as a workaround.
