To Forward a Submittal To Forward a Submittal (ProjectWise Explorer)

You can forward a submittal to external participants. When you forward a submittal, a new transmittal draft is created using the original submittal as a template, and includes the documents from the original submittal. Responses you receive regarding a forwarded submittal will be automatically incorporated into your response to the original submittal.

  1. Expand the Deliverables Management node under your associated work area .
  2. Expand the Incoming folder and select the Submittals folder.
  3. Open the submittal from the list.

    To open an item, either click the link in the Subject field, or double-click the item, or right-click the item and select Open.

  4. If needed, acknowledge the submittal. See GUID-E4D3FD04-67C2-46B9-9B8B-0D5F8F6EEBFB.dita.

    (You cannot forward a submittal until you acknowledge it.)

  5. If needed, import the documents from this submittal into your work area . See GUID-1B6EB7DF-6207-4BFC-A80A-55202192D817.dita.

    (You cannot forward a submittal until its documents have been imported. Acknowledging the submittal from ProjectWise Explorer automatically imports the documents, however you will need to manually import the documents if you have acknowledged the submittal from the portal.)

  6. Click the Forward button at the bottom of the submittal.
  7. In the message dialog that opens, click Forward again.

    A new transmittal draft, based on the original submittal, opens for you to configure and issue.

  8. Configure the new transmittal draft and issue when ready.

Response comments you receive for a document in a forwarded submittal are automatically copied into your own submittal response comments for that document, just like response comments that are received from additional reviewers. You can edit these response comments as needed when you go to send your response for that submittal document (see GUID-92D914FA-E466-49EE-B0A0-C2C880477DBC.dita).
