You can assign users different types of security at different levels, including Site, Project, and File. ProjectPoint lets users peruse a project's contents using an Internet Explorer Web browser through a folder hierarchy similar to Windows Explorer. When you select a folder, ProjectPoint presents information about the file, including file type, creation date, and version number. You can view files directly from your browser whether or not you have AutoCAD installed. Each project file can include discussions, which are threaded comments that link to the file.
Users can add new discussions or reply to existing ones.
Discussions can't be deleted, so they provide a permanent history of the file. The process of uploading and downloading files is very simple. Just select the desired file on your system and drag and drop it in the desired ProjectPoint folder. When you upload the file, ProjectPoint prompts you to e-mail users to notify them of the new file. ProjectPoint automatically detects when a new version of a file is uploaded to the system and prompts you to update the existing file.
