A: PlanScope runs on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or above.

A: PlanScope is internet based, and is designed to allow several team members to access the same file from their own computer at the same time. This is great for phone meetings and online collaboration. Each team member’s markups and comments are automatically saved in an easily identifiable markup history list that is document specific.

A: With the very convient notification feature, you can “subscribe” to automatic e-mail notification for upload, download, deletions, markups, topics/notes and creation of new folders. For instance, if you are subscribed to markup notification on a particular folder, you will receive an e-mail link that will take you directly to the markup/redline on files in that folder immediately after a team member creates the markup.

A: You can upload by simply using the “Upload File” button within PlanScope and browsing your computer and selecting which file(s) or folders. You can also bulk upload or download. You can upload zipped files and PlanScope will automatically unzip and publish your files.

A: From the home page of your project, click on the “edit” button in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the “users” button. Simply add a name and e-mail address, set the permissions and save. The new user will immediately receive a computer generated password with easy to follow directions to log in. The new user will be asked to create their own password and secret question in case they forget their password. If you want to add a user that is already a member of PlanScope you can simply click on the users name that is located in the members list then set their permissions and click save.
