View Plans

The 'Plan Sheets' screen allows project managers to view the plan sheets, add and share markups, view markups shared with them, and more.

The markups are used to highlight proposed alterations, specific actions, etc., on specific spots in the construction. They include text notes, photo attachments, and more, made on any desired portion of a plan. 

Markups are added to plan sheets in different ways:

• Plans - PMs add personal markups for various references and  share them with selected team members
• Project Documents - Users add markups to plan sheets when they are used as attachments to items like submittals, requests for information (RFIs), change orders (COs), and punch lists to highlight the portion of the construction. 

These markups can be made through web consoles and the respective mobile apps. The 'Plan Sheets' interface allows you to view all types of markups, including those made by you, shared with you by others, and those added when the plan was used as an attachment to a workflow item.
