Setting up Bluebeam Integration

Before you use Bluebeam to check out or review documents, you must ensure the following:

• The Bluebeam studio session integration is activated in InEight Document

• Bluebeam is linked with Document

Activating Bluebeam Studio Session in InEight Document 

1. After your project delivery consultant has enabled the Bluebeam setting in the back end, the option Integration with other systems shows in the Project Settings > Miscellaneous section.

2. Select a region, and then click Activate Bluebeam Studio Session Link.

   

3. You are prompted to sign in to Bluebeam Gateway. Use the service account to sign in. 

   

4. A message shows requesting to grant integration the access to your Studio data. Click Allow. 

   

5. A successful message shows. Your project has now been successfully linked to Bluebeam Studio Session.

   

   

You can change the service account email address by clicking ‘Remove link’, however, ensure that there are NO active Bluebeam sessions.

Linking Bluebeam with InEight Document

Bluebeam connects with InEight Document using Bluebeam’s SharePoint integration capabilities. To set up this integration capability, follow the steps below.

1. From the Bluebeam menu, click RevU and then select Preferences.

2. Under Interface section, click File Access tab then click Add.

3. Enter the InEight Document Project address into the Site field. The address format will be https://www.au1.doc.ineight.com/TeamBinderADFS/PROJNO/VPDEMO/ where the text marked in bold italic will be the variables from project to project:

   1. www.au1.doc.ineight.com identifies the server that the project is located on. If you are unsure, this will be displayed in the URL when you log into your project (e.g., in this case, it’s au1.doc.ineight.com).

   2. VPDEMO identifies your project number on the server.

      

 

4. If you are using version 20 or later of Bluebeam Revu, ensure that the option “Use Legacy Authentication” is checked. 

   

5. Select the Checkout on Open checkbox (as shown above), to enter editing mode automatically once the document is opened in Bluebeam. Note that documents must be checked out before new versions can be created within Bluebeam.

6. Select OK.

7. This provides users with a list of all PDF file formats against each document to select from.

opening documents with bluebeam revu using ClickOnce functionaity

You can open a document with Bluebeam RevU directly in your browser if you are using Microsoft Edge which natively supports ClickOnce functionality. 

For other browsers, you will have to ensure with your IT department that the appropriate ClickOnce extension is installed in order to use the functionality. InEight does not formally support any of these plugins.
