Transmit updated documents to people who have old versions using an auto update transmittal

Easily transmit the latest version of your document to people in other organizations.

If you're transmitting a new document you've just uploaded to the register for the first time, follow these instructions.

But if you've just added a new version of an existing document, and want to share it with the same organizations that have previous versions, use an auto update transmittal. Note that they will all be able to see each other listed in the transmittal, as they were the first time.

Tip!

If you want to send an autoupdate transmittal without the recipients knowing who else has received it (for example, you're transmitting updated tender documents), create a Tender Transmittal. This option is available in the menu shown below. Alternatively, use the Aconex Tenders module to handle the documents and autoupdate individually those who have access to them.

  1. Choose your project in the Project Selector at the top of the page.
  1. Click the Documents button on the Module menu, then under Search, click Document Register.

  2. Complete one or more search criteria fields.

  3. Click the Search button.
  1. Select the checkbox of each document for which you want to transmit an automatic update.
  1. Click the Transmit button, and choose Auto Update Transmitted Documents.

  1. The details of each recipient organization for each document are listed. Here, you can:

    • select to send all documents to all recipients on a single transmittal by clicking the Select Entire Page icon, or

    • select the checkbox of each document or organization you want to transmit the update to. Again, these organizations will all be included — and visible to one another — on the single transmittal.

Tip!

Note that the selections you make here are for this transmittal only — Aconex doesn't remember them. If you want to include or exclude certain organizations from further autoupdates to these documents, you'll need to make the relevant selections next time you send an auto update.

  1. Click the Transmit button.
  1. Complete all mandatory Transmittal fields, and any other fields as required.
  1. Click the Send button.
