Share correction items

Body

In ProjectDox, only the person listed as the Electronic Plan Submitter can access the application. However, the Electronic Plan Submitter can send markups to another person in a couple of different ways. You can send all the markups on an application, send only a certain departments’ markups or send the markups on one file as a PDF. Below are step by step instructions on how this can be done for each.

To start, follow these steps:

Step 1: Login to ProjectDox by clicking on the ProjectDox link from Clark County’s website or the link contained in the ProjectDox email invitation. Enter your password and click Login.

Step 2: To the left, click on the Tasks tab and then the Applicant Resubmit Task name or the Complete button next to it.

Task complete button

 

This opens the Applicant Resubmit Task. With the task open, you have a few options to share the correction items:

  • Send the markups on one file as a PDF
  • Send all markups or only certain department's markups

 

Send the markups on one file as a PDF

If you would like to share a correction item on the full-size plan sheet with the markups on it, follow these instructions.

In the Applicant Resubmit Task, scroll down to Step 1 of 4 and click on the Review Comments button.

Review comments button

 

Click on the Download arrow to the right of the correction item you'd like to share.

Download arrow

 

This opens the file as a PDF with the markup embedded in it. You can hover over any markup to see the content.

Open mark-up file

 

Save this file on your computer and/or email it to a third party to share it.

 

Send all markups or only certain departments' markups

To share all markups or only a certain departments’ markups, start in the Applicant Resubmit Task by using the steps above and go down to Step 1 of 4. Click on the Export to Excel button.

Export to Excel

 

A window opens allowing you to select to export the markups all in one Excel file or multiple Excel files based on department. Choosing multiple Excel files based on the department allows you to send the corrections from one program area, such as Building Safety or Fire Marshal’s Office to a another person. Once you select the option you want, click Download.

Download files

 

This opens one Excel file or multiple Excel files of all the markups depending on the option you selected. It shows the same information you can view in ProjectDox, like the reference number, department name, name of the reviewer, markup title, cycle number, markup details, etc. It will also show any existing responses you have entered in ProjectDox. This spreadsheet can be saved on your computer or emailed to third parties.

Spreadsheet view

 

It is a protected spreadsheet so you can only enter an applicant response and you are not able to move or edit any other columns or rows. The goal is that you can send this to a third party who can review and respond to each of the correction items. You can save the Excel spreadsheet with your own file name. This would be helpful if you are going to be getting responses from multiple people.

In the view column, you can click on the open link to open the file in a full screen view with the markups on it. When you click on open, it will ask if you want to open the file. Click OK.

Now it will open this file with the markups on it. You can hover over each markup to view the content. You do not need to be the Electronic Plan Submitter to use this feature so it's perfect for sharing correction items with a third party, like your architect or engineer.

Open mark-up file

 

All of the responses can be entered at one time or only some of them at a time. A third party can enter the applicant responses and send it back to you as the Electronic Plan Submitter so you can upload them into ProjectDox without having to copy and paste or retype everything. See our Applicant Resubmit Task page for step-by-step instructions on how to import Excel responses to ProjectDox.
