Document claiming

You can manage document claiming in the Claiming tab of the Documents page. Claiming allows the scope managed in Design to earn automated claiming based on the associated document’s status from the document repository in InEight Document.

To enable claiming, you must do the following:

  • Set up the project in InEight Platform > Suite Administration > Application integrations.

  • Set the Enable Document integration and Enable Document claiming toggles to On in the project’s Settings > Engineering > Documents tab.

When the Enable Document claiming setting is selected, Design syncs the document statuses from the project in Document mapped in InEight Platform and the following occurs:

  • A Document status column shows on the claiming scheme.

  • A Claiming tab shows on the Documents page.

  • Design compares the claimed document status on a scope item’s claiming scheme to the associated document’s status to systematically track and progress earned value.
