Lean PlanDo manual › LPD DMS
What is the DMS?
Open the project's Document Management System, see what it holds and what you can do with it.
The DMS is the project's document store: the Document Management System. Open it from the project menu, first item, DMS. Every company on the project sees the same folders, filtered by the permissions on each folder.
What it holds: drawings, PDFs, photos, Office files, models and archives. Accepted types: pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, tiff, bmp, cr2, psd, dwg, dgn, rvt, nwd, nwf, nwc, ifc, bcf, xml, mpp, spx, zip.
What you can do: make folders, upload files, open a preview, mark up a PDF, upload a new version of a file, download, and set who sees each folder. A form in Lean PlanDo Flow can attach a file straight from the DMS, and a finished workflow can file its own PDF here.
The DMS is switched on per project. If the project menu has no DMS item, ask your project administrator.
