Click the Sidebar tabbed commands on the image below to see how to use each function.
The Reports generated by SpecsIntact are designed as quality control tools for the project. The ability to read and understand all the reports is essential to releasing a completed specification at 100%. It is the responsibility of the specification editor to point out problems indicated in the reports to the architect or engineer so they can correct the issues in the specifications. Always check for typographical errors before considering a reported error as an actual discrepancy.
To generate a report, check the corresponding checkbox. Generate all reports by clicking Select All. Generated Report (.rpt) files can be printed or viewed. Find them in the Job's Processed Files folder (gray icon) .
The available Verification Reports are Address, Reference, Submittal, Bracket, and Section. These reports are selected by default. Other available reports are Reference Location, Test Requirement, Submittal List, and Submittal Register.
To learn more about the reports, their functions, and how to correct the problems refer to the eLearning modules in Chapter 6.
After correcting errors detected through these reports, it is important to regenerate reports to ensure all the previous errors were resolved and no additional ones have occurred.
If you want to include a Table of Contents for the entire project, if you want Division 00 documents included if they are part of your project and if you want it to list Divisions that are not used in the project. To produce a Table of Contents for distribution with a Master, use the Process > Release Processing command (these files will be listed with the Sections in the SI Explorer, rather than the Processed Files folder).
