Can I Upload More Than One File to One Submittal Line Item?
When logged into Submittal Exchange, select a project and go to the appropriate log.
- Select the Submittal line item to which you need to upload a file.
- Select the green upload arrow in the Upload column. A dialog box appears.
Single File
Select one non-PDF file.
- Select the Browse button to upload a file. A dialog box appears. It says, Only PDF files automatically combine into one file. Other file types upload individually. This is simply a reminder.
- Choose the file. Select Open. The Submittal Exchange dialog shows the file name.
- Select Save.
Multiple Files
Select multiple PDF files for one submittal line item, which are combined into one large PDF file once uploaded.
- Select the Browse button to upload a file. A dialog box appears. The Submittal Exchange dialog shows the file name.
- Choose multiple documents by holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard as you choose the documents.
Note: If you need to remove one of these PDF files after you have selected it, select the red X next to the file name, and it will be removed.
- Select Save.
Zip File
Select a Zip file.
- Select the Browse button to upload a file. A dialog box appears.
- Choose the Zip file. Select Open. The Submittal Exchange dialog shows the file name.
- Select Save.
Note: This is helpful if you need to upload more than 10 PDFs to one line item. You can zip as many PDF files as you want as long as they are all in one Zip file. You can also zip different file types into one Zip file and upload it; for example, a Zip file might include a PDF and Word document.
Notes:
- Submittal Exchange has a 100 MB size limit for files uploaded to a single line item.
- If experiencing an error when uploading multiple files to one line item, it is likely due to the security settings on one of the individual files being uploaded. Each individual file must have no security settings in order to upload correctly.
