Introducing XL-Upload

XL-Upload is unique application used to upload drawings and controlled documents to the web-based project collaboration system.

XL-Upload enables parties to upload one or more documents of any format to using a Microsoft Excel workbook.  XL-Upload requires only Microsoft Excel, an Internet connection and an Email application (e.g. Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise, etc.).

In summary, the process that takes place is:

1. Documents are selected from within XL-Upload.

2. User populates document details in the spread sheet.

3. User validates document details via XL-Upload directly from the server.

4. XL-Upload uploads the physical document and the attributes of the document (such as the Drawing Number, Title, Revision etc.) entered in the spread sheet directly to the document register in your project. XL Upload runs as a process in the backgound, so you can continue with your other tasks.

5. The documents go through a final validation at the server and will then appear in the Document Register.

Before you can use XL-Upload you will need to have been set up as a user of the system with the correct access level to upload documents. If you have not been allocated a User ID or do not have the correct access contact your Company administrator.
