Holding Area

The holding area stores documents that contain non-conforming document names. It is useful when a project member is uploading documents that don't conform to the naming standard. If the holding area is enabled, the upload process can continue and the document names can be updated at a later time to resolve any errors with the document names.

To access the holding area and edit non-conforming document names:

1. In Document Management, open Project Files or any folder within. Naming standards don't apply to Plans folders.

2. Click Holding Area in the top-right.

   Note: The holding area is not folder specific, meaning all non-conforming documents from all Project Files folders appear here.

3. Click the checkbox to the left of a document and click to delete the document if it is no longer needed.

4. Click the checkbox to the left of a document and click Rename to begin editing the attributes that contain errors.

   Tip: Hover your cursor over the fields of the document name to see the attribute name.

   

5. Click the icon to remove individual documents from the naming validator. These documents will still remain in the holding area.

6. After editing the documents with errors, click Save to add the documents to your folder.
