The document register

Find, search and open any document on your project.

The register is the project's list of documents. Open Documents in the main menu to see it.

Browsing the document register and opening the viewer
Walkthrough
Switch between shelves, customize columns with Data Values, and open a document to view its revisions and fields.

Shelves

The register is split into shelves. Each one shows a different set of documents:

ShelfWhat it shows
Project LibraryThe project's controlled documents.
GeneratedDocuments built in Constecca, such as estimates and commitments.
UploadedFiles that arrived through upload or a register import.
UnclassifiedUploaded files that still need sorting.
Awaiting FileRegister rows that are still waiting for their file.
PrivateDocuments restricted to a few people.

You only see the shelves your role allows. See Library, unclassified and private for what each class means.

Find a document

Type in the search box at the top of the shelf. The search looks at document numbers, titles and the project's own fields. Use the picker beside the box to search one field only.

The list loads more rows as you scroll, and always tells you the total. Click Back to top in the bottom corner to jump back up.

Choose your columns

Click Data Values to choose which details appear as columns. The menu groups the fields and lets you search for one by name.

The column layout belongs to the project. Managers set it, and everyone on the project sees the same layout.

Open a document

Click a row to open the document in the viewer. From there you can download the file, see its revisions and versions, and act on any task. Click Edit all fields to correct details such as the company, the type or the issue date.

Delete and restore

Click Delete on a row or in the viewer. Constecca asks you to confirm and names what goes. A deleted document is not gone for good: turn on Show deleted to find it again, then click Restore.
