Your first project (part 2): more details

Now you have a project created and saved in your Control Center. You should now be on the details page for the job. You will see the information you entered on the previous step, along with a number of additional boxes and fields that you can edit as needed.

Project access options

Let's start by looking at the Project Access box on the right.

The project is listed on your own planroom by default. If you have Virtual Planrooms created for your customers, you can click the "+" icon to list this project on additional planroom sites.

At the bottom of this box you see that "Order and download options" is grayed out, at the moment this project doesn't have any ordering or downloading enabled. Let's change this! Click the pencil icon to edit.

We see that we have multiple options for both print orders and downloads. Let's go with a simple flat/custom price for now, and we'll worry about SQFT calculations and global pricing later. For now, we'll just put a flat $200 for a print set, and $40 for a digital download set.

Note that we are setting the print order and digital download pricing for the entire project here. This will include the whole project, all the files that you post.

Super, let's save that.

Documents

Next, let's scroll down a bit and look at the Documents box on the right. 

This is a good place to stick high-level project documents, like a "Notice to Bidders.pdf" or an "Advertisement for Bid.pdf". It's also a good place to put Pre-Bid meeting agenda or sign-in sheets, and of course the final "Bid Tabulation.pdf" file.

You do NOT want to post plans & specs here, we'll get those posted in just a bit in our next article.

You can simply drag-n-drop to upload documents to this box.

Public Notes

You may want to post a lot more details about the project, such as the scope of work, information about the pre-bid meeting, trades or bid packages, etc. The best place to do this is in the Public Notes area. Here you can copy/paste content from invitation to bid, or the specbook, or wherever you might have information that you want planroom users to see right up front.

You can format the public notes to highlight important details, structure lists into bullets, and make it easy for users to read through.

Great, let's save this. I think we have a pretty good start on our project details, it's time to go upload the plans & specs.

Next step: upload your files
