Folders

Create a customized folder hierarchy for each of your projects.

Every project starts with pre-configured top-level folders to support a specific process or data type. These folders are called Plans and Project Files. You can add subfolders to these folders up to a maximum of 25 subfolder levels.

Note: When account administrators create a new project, they can choose to import a folder structure from an existing project.

Use Plans to manage, publish, and review the latest set of construction documents, in both 2D and 3D formats.

Use Project Files for any project document, including design data and all other document types.

For information about the specific capabilities of each folder type, see What Is Document Management?
