To Access 'Route/Stamp Settings', in the Project Dropdown Menu go to FIELD™ Settings > Route/Stamp Settings as shown below.



  • Route/Stamp Settings allows users to configure one or many 'Stamp Sets'. Each Stamp Set can have Multiple 'Outcome Values' and also allows Users to Route the Files/Drawings.


 

  • Each Outcome when added will be assigned with a unique color and can be updated by clicking the color picker.

 

  • A Stamp Set can be deleted by clicking on the “Delete Icon”, as well as individual “Outcome values” can be deleted by clicking the “Delete Icon” against its Value.

 

  • The Outcome values can be rearranged by dragging and dropping as shown in the below Image. The same sequence will be displayed to the User while initiating a stamp.

Adding Route:

  • Routing of files can be done in the Drawings (either at the set level or at the individual drawing level) Drawings 'excluded' from the set will not be considered part of the Route. The new route “Toolbar” button is visible regardless of whether the Blockchain setting was turned on at the Project Level.
  • Route Toolbar button will be available for the below Drive Folders:
  • Drawings
  • Sketch
  • 360
  • BIM
  • Photos
  • Files
  • Either an entire SET can be picked or Individual Files can be multi selected.

 

  • Select individual drawing files at the file level as shown below.

 

Creating a Route without Users Required


  • When selected, the Add Route Toolbar Button will invoke the 'Route Package' popup.

 

  • At the Users section,  we can add one or many Project members including the Person who is Configuring the Route.


  • Allow Routing in any order- this is a default selection. Selecting this option would mean that when the Route is configured, the users added to the Route can authenticate in any order. Each Person has to wait for the other person to Route - this option would imply that when configuring the route package, the order has to be Sequenced by dragging and reordering the User Sequence. Once the sequence is set, the Route has to be completed in the same order that was configured during the Configuration.

  • Reason for Route users can enter the 'Reason' for the Route which gets displayed during the process of stamping a file.

  • Route Date Expiration - allows users to set the date that is greater than or equal to the current date. Once the Route expiration date is complete, the Route Package for the file will automatically be canceled. The Route will also be closed when all the User's Part of the Route completes the Stamp.


  • Route with current markups when Turned ‘ON’ will route not just the file, but also the markups that are also part of the current version.


  • Choose the Route Category - displays all the 'Stamp Sets' that have been configured in the FIELD Settings > File/Drawing Route Settings.

  • Based on the Route category, configured outcomes will be displayed. By Default, the outcome option is set to None. The Configuration can either be set to "None" or a Preferred Outcome can be selected. If the "Set" Preferred Outcome is Pointing to "None", then while Stamping the File, User can still choose an outcome, but the Route Package will not autocomplete until all the users finish the Stamp.

  • When a ‘Preferred Outcome’ is selected, the ‘Set the criteria below to end…’ below, gets enabled and by default it is set to 'All'.

  • The Number of participants available to select, is the same as the number of Users added.


  • When clicked on ‘Done’ Toast will be displayed stating 'Drawing routed successfully!"


Show Watermark for the Files(s) Routed

 

  • If a set has been Routed and is still active, then the entire folder will get the Route Watermark. Double tap on the Set to enter the folder to view the files within it.

  • The same functions are available on a Mobile Device:

 

 

Email Notification

 

  • Once a drawing is routed successfully, Email notifications will be sent to each User where the Files/Drawings have been routed to.

 

  • User clicks on 'Stamp Now' from the Email Notification or when the user navigates to the actual file. If the file is NOT Part of the Route, then Until the Route is completed, the Files are locked which would mean that  any user that is not part of the Route, trying to open the file, will load the file in Sketch View Only. Once the Route is completed, then the File is available to all the Users.

 

 

  • When Sketch is opened by the User who is part of the Route, since the File has an Active Route, the 'Stamp File' widget is automatically invoked and displays the current Route highlighted in Yellow with a Green rotating icon. The previous routes are also shown as Multiple expand/collapse accordions. The Active Route for the selected File(s) will show as highlighted in Yellow, with the attributes as shown below.


 

  • User clicks on their Name/Tile to Stamp the selected File.

 

  • The File Stamp will display all the Users that were added to the Route. If none of the Users have Stamped the file, then below the user name and the company you would see a Text/Watermark as "Not reviewed yet." When you open a file, and Click on 'Stamp', this would mean that You as the User is Stamping that file. The 'Stamp File' popup contains information as shown below.

 

  • With an Outcome selected, the user clicks on the 'Initiate Stamp' button to Initiate Stamping the File.

 

  • When clicked the 'Initiate Stamp' Button and If Blockchain has been enabled for the Project, the user will see the following 'Stamp File Authentication' Blockchain message below. If Blockchain has not been enabled, users WILL NOT See this pop up.

  • When File stamped, the User tile in the 'Stamp File' Sidebar Widget now shows with the outcome selected displayed in the color that was selected during the Configuration. Additionally, if  Blockchain has been enabled, the Blockchain ID for the transaction will show below the Outcome.

 

  • Expanding a Previous Route will display the Users as well as the Route Details, but the Section is disabled as no action can be performed on the previously completed routes. For the Routes that are previously completed, the PRINT icon will be displayed.

 

Users not part of the Route 

  • As described in the previous section, if a file is Routed, then a Watermark against the file is displayed.  When trying to open any file that is actively Routed by a User who IS not Part of the Route, is not allowed to make any changes to the File.

  • Double tap on the File that is actively Routed will show the below message: "File is being routed to other team members, While the Route is active, the file will open in view Only".
