Certainly! I apologize for the mix-up earlier. Here is a summary of the key points covered in the video:
The video is a user training webinar conducted by Bob Mullinax from Bentley Systems for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Bob has extensive experience with implementing ProjectWise, having worked with over 16 DOTs since joining Bentley.
The webinar covers various topics related to ProjectWise, starting with an overview of the training agenda. Bob explains that attendees will learn how to access ProjectWise, how to fill out the required documents for access, and how to use the different features and tools within ProjectWise.
The training covers the ProjectWise implementation support page, where users can find important documents and job aids. Bob emphasizes the need for all new users to have a VDOT COV domain account in order to access ProjectWise and explains the importance of password policies.
The webinar also focuses on the ProjectWise Web Explorer, explaining the importance of using Internet Explorer for certain functionalities like bulk upload, bulk download, checking in and checking out, and markup capabilities. Bob mentions that while other browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox can be used for viewing documents, Internet Explorer is required for full capabilities.
Bob introduces the ProjectWise Web Explorer's search feature, explaining that all historical plan file room data is fully searchable within ProjectWise. Users can search using keywords or specific criteria such as project names, route numbers, or document attributes.
The training also covers the process of uploading and downloading documents in ProjectWise. Users can either upload individual documents or entire folders within their assigned folders. Downloading can be done by right-clicking on a document and selecting the download option.
Bob highlights the importance of checking in and checking out documents, especially for editing purposes. Checking out a document allows users to modify it while it remains locked for others, and checking it back in makes the changes accessible to others. This functionality is particularly useful for microstation files.
Lastly, the webinar mentions the ability to view and markup PDFs using third-party tools like Bluebeam, and mentions that microstation markup is currently not functioning due to security issues.
Bob concludes the webinar by emphasizing the availability of job aids and support from the CAD support team, and encourages participants to reach out with any further questions or issues.
Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of how to navigate and utilize ProjectWise, covering key functionalities such as file management, search capabilities, document uploading and downloading, and checking in and checking out documents for editing purposes.
