What's new

A new look for document fields

• The document fields screen has a fresh new look so it's easier to use. 
• Checkboxes are replaced with labels such as Yes or No to make those settings clearer.

• Click the pencil icon in the Action column to make changes, such as making the field mandatory. Click the tick icon when you've finished editing.

• Under the three dots menu you can view translations and tooltips, but as before, you'll need to contact us to make changes to them.  
• To add select list values and codes click the three dots menu and select Configure select list values.

• You'll see the existing values in a brand new screen. From here, you can add or remove values or import them in bulk.

Import document fields in bulk

• Project Admins, we've saved you some time. Similar to project fields, now you can import select list values and codes for your document fields.  
• Enter the values into a spreadsheet and then import it straight in. No more entering values one by one.
• This is also helpful when setting up a new project.

Package transmittal notifications

• We've saved you some time. Now when you send a package you don't have to wait for it to complete.
• You can move onto your next task in Aconex and we'll let you know once your package has been sent. 
• You'll see a red notification on the bell icon once the send process completes. Click it to see if your transmittal was sent or not.

Restrict editing of package numbers

• Now, Project Admins can prevent packages numbers from being edited on the project.
• This is helpful for projects that require stricter controls around package numbering.
• The new project setting applies to all organizations on the project. By default, it allows package numbers to be edited.
• With the restriction configured, users creating packages will see a message that the package number cannot be changed.
• You can turn this setting on or off at any time. 
• Note: As before, packages numbers created by autonumbering cannot be edited regardless of this setting.

  • We added some space around the task headings such as Unread and Outstanding so they're easier to read.

Create a user faster

• Thanks to your feedback we've improved the user creation screen so it loads faster. 
• Additionally, we've made the option to create an Aconex account clearer. If the user already has a Lobby account, you'll now click a button to create an Aconex account for them. Previously this option was displayed as a link, but was not easily seen.
