Need to create a large number of placeholders in Aconex at the same time? Using a bulk process will help save you time.
If Project Fields are used in Document Types on your project, your metadata template has a tab for each document type. Single-select fields are also pre-populated for faster entry.
You'll need to download a fresh metadata template if:
You can cut and paste information from other systems such as CAD systems.
Consider filling in one of the noncompulsory rows in your spreadsheet with a tag like placeholder
or PO
. You can search on this tag in the future to find all the placeholders in your project.
It’s important to test your metadata template.
You can run as many tests as you need to.
Now that you have set up and tested your template you can create the placeholders in your document register.
You can see that the placeholders have been created in your document register by searching on the document numbers.
