Sets Management For Plans and Specifications
The Sets Management Lists is probably one of the most useful lists within Tangentworks 550. Sets Management is similar to Shared Documents in that authorized users can upload and download specs, drawings and documents of any file type for sharing on their Workspaces.
The key difference with the Sets Management list type is that it tracks documents being released as “sets”. Sets can be named anything you wish, but these are typically names like “Pricing Set”, “Addendum 1”, “For Construction”, “Revision #2”, etc.
Like the real world you assemble a set of documents and then you release them and you can not go back and change them except by issuing a new release set. These lists work the same way. Documents are placed into a “pending set” and only when they’re locked are they included into the Current Set.
Current Release Set
The Current Set is not a release but rather a compilation of all the latest documents from all of the releases which shows only the latest version of a document.
So quickly anyone can see what the most current set is at any time.
