Construction Viz File Manager Part Deux – New Features!
Every construction team uses Microsoft 365 SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive differently to store project files. Some use folders, others use columns to tag files, some even use the SharePoint term store, and on rare occasions, they use a combination of all three. While having the choice of how you want to manage your files is ideal, having too many options among systems and approaches leads to inconsistency and challenges in setting up projects, uploading files, organizing file locations, and searching for documents for construction projects.
We designed the Construction Viz File Manager app to be a single location to store files with a familiar user interface that is easy to use, streamlined, and simplified. It keeps users in Construction Viz instead of having to navigate to the underlying SharePoint site. At its core, the Construction Viz File Manager app allows you to use existing document libraries and folders or create new ones to upload files rather than having to navigate into SharePoint. Check out this article to learn more about the key features of the File Manager app.
Making Construction Viz File Manage Even Better
The reception to the File Manager from our clients has been great, and we have taken user feedback to heart with the latest updates.
Here are some of these new features:
- Rename folders and files – Ability to rename files and folders easily.
- Move files to other libraries – Move files to different document libraries and folders.
- Copy files to other libraries - Copy files to different document libraries and folders.
- Open in Revu – Open files in Bluebeam Revue directly from the menu.
- Interactive breadcrumbs – Easily navigate to any level of the folder structure. Each folder name is also a hyperlink.
- Topographic view – View and navigate to all document libraries in the SharePoint site where Construction Viz is implemented.
- Permission notifications – The File Manager recognizes SharePoint permissions on document libraries and folders and displays a notification if you don’t have access.
- New icon for recently uploaded files.
These new Construction Viz File Manager features will help project teams get the most out of Microsoft 365 for their construction projects. Instead of building your in-house solutions in Microsoft 365, check out Construction Viz to hit the ground running, knowing that each of your projects works the way you want.
