Course DescriptionCreate smart, dynamic PDFs to help manage documentation throughout the lifecycle of a project. Connect project files using a variety of Revu’s automation tools to help make important information and files more easily and quickly accessible.

Learning Objectives1. Automatically generate page labels to better organize

project documents2. Extract documents for fast and easy performance

downstream3. Create a navigable drawing set using Revu’s powerful

Batch Link functionality4. Use Sets to easily access and navigate an unlimited

number of project files as a single document

Caveat• We do not dictate workflow! No one solution fits all.

Challenges: Set-up & Hyperlinking• Content and labeling are not always consistent or useful.• Hyperlinking can be a long, manual slog.

Let’s see Revu in action!

Best Practices: Set-up & Hyperlinking• Content is not consistent and labeling is not useful. AutoMark

rules, but early communication is best.• Hyperlinking used to be a long, manual slog. But not

anymore! Let batch hyperlinking do the heavy lifting.

Challenges: Page Management• File size may be too big for your mobile device• DMS – Don’t be a file hog!• Risk management

Best Practices: Page Management• Combined files can be huge. Hardware and connectivity can

be slow. Sadly, working with single-page sheets lacks the workability and connectedness of a combined sheet set.

• Sets is your new sheet set. Learn how to use this powerful tool to maximize speed and maintain continuity.
