Working With the Documents Library Page

Screenshot of a document library interface with numbered callouts highlighting page elements like search, filters, view options, action buttons, and document list columns.

  1. Document Search: Find specific documents available to your organization based on your unique search input. Searches include content from all columns of the table, not just the document name.
  2. Filters: Select one or more of the predefined filters to the right of the search bar to quickly filter the table to only show specific documents that fit your selected criteria. Some filters require you to further define constraints after selecting them. When available, choose additional options from the drop-down list in the search bar.
  3. View Previews button: Open a Previews page to view all recent document template previews you generated.
  4. Preview: Generate a preview of a selected document. Choose options from the Template Preview pane to preview how the document would look for a specific project, draw, or contract. You can also optionally choose to generate a preview of a final invoice or include notarization and highlight signatures, if the document supports these features.
  5. Properties: View information about a document you selected from the Document Table. On the Properties page, the document's supported properties are marked with a check mark.

    Note: The Properties page is read-only. You cannot make changes to the document here.

  6. Review: Before a document becomes available for selection on a project, it must be reviewed and approved. Select any document from the Document Table with a Review status to activate the Review button. Click Review to open document information in a pane on the right side of the page. Only users with Documents Publisher permissions can review, approve, and publish documents.
  7. New Template: Create a new document template.
  8. Edit: Update an existing document template's properties and formatting.
  9. Copy: Copy an existing document template's properties to create a new document template.
  10. View Projects: Select a document template from the table and then select View Projects to open a Projects drawer on the right side of the page. The Projects drawer lists the projects currently using the selected document template. Additional project details include Project Number and Status. You can export this information as a CSV file.
  11. My Org Documents | All Documents: Filter the table to either show only document templates currently used by your projects or all available document templates.
  12. Document Table: By default, the table lists all documents available to your organization in order of creation with newer documents appearing at the top of the list. There are six columns in total:
    • Document Name: The name of the document.
    • Project Count: The number of projects using the document template.
    • Status: The current status of a listed document.
      • Draft: An Editor has begun to create a document but has not yet proceeded to push the document forward to the reviewer.
      • Legacy: The document is a generic document available to all organizations.
      • Review: The Editor has completed drafting the document and sent it forward to the review stage. The Reviewer will look at the document and either approve or reject it. When approved, the document moves forward to the publishing stage.
      • Published: The Publisher chose to publish the document. The document is now available to use on any project where you organization acts as the General Contractor.
    • Type: The way a document is classified on TPM. Document types include lien waiver (CLW), unconditional lien waiver (LW), invoice, and sworn statement.
    • Created On: The date the document became available for use in TPM. All legacy documents have the same date. Newer documents created by your Textura representative have different dates.
    • Created By: The name of the individual who created the document. Generic documents available to all organizations list Textura-Legacy as the creator. Documents created by your Textura Representative list Textura Administrator as the creator.
    • ID: A number used to identify the document in TPM. The template ID is based on order of creation and is useful for Support if you need to contact Textura for help.
