Name Sets the document name for the new document. This field is blank when the dialog first opens, but becomes populated when you select a seed file, whether the seed file is from an existing ProjectWise document or from an external file. You can change the name as necessary. The document name must be unique to the project or folder the document is being created in.
Description Sets the description for the new document. This field is blank when the dialog first opens, but becomes populated when you select a seed file, whether the seed file is from an existing ProjectWise document or from an external file. You can change the description as necessary.
