IWMS based tools typically incorporate the following functionality within them. Does WSD have these capabilities and if so how are they executed? Understanding this will allow us to utilize what the tool can do and what we must create alternative solutions for.
- Bidirectional Editing - drawings to application and vice versa
- One Click Publishing of Drawings into System
- Upload Time Stamp or Revision Controls
- Capable Change Request Solution
- Capable AutoCAD Plugin
- Capable Printing mechanism from the tool - Including title block creation or import
- Drawing Repository with Access Control - So people can get copies of drawings when needed without being able to edit them
- Large Capacity for Data and drawings so there is no lag
- Capable Drawing Absorption Interface - so detail can be seen online without having to "over simplify" drawings. Facilities teams need to see drawing details.
- Desktop Client - With an Excel like Option for seeing, updating, uploading data
- Capable Reporting and Report Building
- Complex Area Calculations and Allocation
- All Encompassing Disciplines - So no swivel chair duplications of work to other applications
- Data and information sharing to downstream systems
