Issue Project Documents

You can issue project documents to selected recipients. For example, you can issue documents to stakeholders to review. To issue a document, it must have at least one rendition, and you must have the required rights. Obsolete documents cannot be issued.

To issue project documents:

  1. Navigate to the project.
    You can search for projects using the Search Projects link in the Activity Zone. Projects that you are linked to also appear on the History tab on your contact record, and in the Projects dashpart in the Personal Zone.
  2. Click the Documents tab.
  3. Search for and select the documents that you want to issue.
    For information, see Searching for Documents.
  4. If you are not using Smart View, click the Tools tab under My Search Results.
    If you are using Smart View, this step is not applicable.
  5. Click Issue Documents.
  6. On the Issue Documents window, deselect any renditions that you do not want to issue for a selected document.
  7. For each selected document, use the list in the Reason column to select the reason for issuing it.
    If the reason for issuing each document is the same, you can use the list above the Reason column to select the same reason for all documents.
  8. To add additional documents to the document issue, do any of the following:
    • To add all documents from a selected basket, click Add Basket.
      Note: Documents in a basket do not have to be linked to the project.
    • To add documents from the DMS, click Add DMS.
  9. Click Next.
  10. On the Select Recipients step, do one or more of the following to add recipients:
    • To add contacts that were previously issued one or more of the selected documents, select Previously received selected documents from the Issue Group list, and then click Add Group.
    • To add contacts that were previously issued any controlled document for the project, select Previously issued on this entity from the Issue Group list, and then click Add Group.
    • To add contacts that are directly linked to the project, click Add Entity Recipients, and then select the recipients.
    • To add a contact that is not directly linked to the project, enter their name in the Add Recipient field, and then click their name to add them.
      Note: When you add a non-linked contact, you can also add them to the project. Click > Add this contact to this entity for each contact that you want to add to the project.
