Document control

The civil pro document management module records the drawings, specifications, contracts or management documents for a project. The list of documents is called the document register. The document register also records when a document is reissued with revisions.

When documents are revised, other members of the project generally need to be advised. For this reason each document is associated with a list of people that need to be advised of changes. The link between people and documents is referred to as the document distribution list.

When one or more documents change, the people on the distribution list need to be advised. This is formally managed through the creation of a Document Transmittal in the transmittal register.
