Catalog – Logon Page Folder = zPublicHTML Why Use It? Security Message System Change Message for Users Company Message Catalog – Logon Page Folder = zPublicHTML File = login-1.htm (Note: Spitfire’s ICTOOL puts the file there and you can edit, but don’t try to change the file name or add the file on your own.)
Catalog - Notification Reminders of Upcoming Events for example, Spitfire update or upgrade or even New Template for Daily Field Report Catalog - Notification Folder = zPublicHTML File = x-SystemAvailabilityNotification.htm (Note: Spitfire’s ICTOOL puts the file there and you can Edit it, but don’t try to change the file name or add the file on your own.) Display by editing the name – just delete the x- when you run the ICTOOL to update and publish your site, the ICTOOL will add the x- back to the file name and the announcement go away. Just click to edit
Catalog - Logo Folder = zPublicHTML Tips: Logo Height approx. 50 to 60 pixels My Settings: Hide Branding Bar Folder = zPublicHTML File = SiteLogo.gif (Note: Spitfire’s ICTOOL puts the file there and you can CheckOut and CheckIn your Logo, but don’t try to change the file name or add the file on your own.)
Create Your Own Library Add recordings and/or PowerPoint files for each of you processes

Take Control of the Budget Limit to Budget Prevents Commitments and/or CCO from being approved if the amount for the line item exceeds the Budget amount for that Cost Code/Account Category combination (other Commitments and included in the evaluation). PreventNegativeRemaining Prevents a CCO from being approved if it reduces the budget line to negative amount For example, Commitment line item is currently set to $4,000 for electrical and $3,000 has already been approved for payment. This rule would block a CCO that tried to reduce the line item to under $3,000 NetZero:MM Manual Budget Revisions now are locked to Net Zero changes – you can move the money, but you cannot add or remove dollars from the overall budget
Re-do Your Templates qAlias bookmarks for Company Divisions qIMG_Logo, qIMG_Header, qIMG_Footer Email Body Templates Create a Word document and test it Change from Attachment to EmailBody Advantage: Email Recipient sees your message immediately in the email body vs. opening a PDF attachment
Re-do Your Predefined Routes New Route features Due In Days – automatically set a Due Date for the Route Route this SEQ via Email – even if the routee has the preference of RouteVia = Web Pending Any Groups – allow you to route to multiple people in one sequence and build multiple pending groups For example, if you route to Purchasing and Designer in Seq 4 – both Set to Pending Any since there are multiple users in Purchasing and Design. All the Purchasing routees will be one Pending Any Group and all the Designers will be in a second Pending Any Group

Change Order Import Reuse your Budget Import sheet for importing Change Orders Budget Import Map for Change Order doc needs to be uploaded to Template Library New VXL rules allow you to configure this new functionality SUBCONTRACT account category could create a new Commitment or RFQ - or just enter a cost code/account category line item
Redundant Tasks Consider the Workflow Script Library as your building blocks Examples Create Revision Workflow script to create a revision of a document (think of the submittal items Revise and Resubmit functionality at the document level) Set Status On some action (perhaps Route Seq 5 is ‘responded’), trigger the workflow to set the Approver field and the Status to Approved. Set Item data based on Doc data When Doc Due changes, reset Item Due to match
