The benefits of drawing lists
Always access to the correct drawings
By generating drawing lists with the search function in Prostream, you have effortless access to the right construction drawings. By filtering on metadata such as project phase, date or type of drawing, you always have the relevant documents at hand quickly. You no longer have to waste time searching through long lists and grouping the right documents.
Save searches for reuse
Save even more time by saving your searches, and thus your drawing lists. You don’t have to set the same filters every time; with one click you open your saved search and have direct access to the most recent results. This makes your work much more efficient.
Stay informed about changes in drawings
Construction drawings are often modified while the project is already in full swing. At the same time, it is crucial to always work with the latest version. With Prostream, you can easily set up notifications for changes in drawings, so that you automatically receive a message when a new version is available. This way, you can be sure that you always have the most recent drawings at hand.
Export and share drawing lists
Do you need an overview of drawings or documents for a colleague or external party? Then you can easily export your search results to an Excel or CSV file. In addition, you can share your saved search directly with others who also work in Prostream, simply by sharing the URL of the search. This way, they have immediate access to the same up-to-date overview, without any additional actions. This makes collaboration even faster and more efficient.
