Question 1

What are ScopeMaker’s folders?

Accepted Answer

ScopeMaker’s folders help you organize exhibits across your project workspace. They give you a Common Folder for common and project-level exhibits, Trade Folders for trade-specific exhibits, and a structure your team can adjust as the project evolves.

Question 2

How does ScopeMaker create folders at the start of a project?

Accepted Answer

ScopeMaker can create the folders your project needs all at once at the start of the project. It uses the imported division codes and project setup to build the starting folder structure so your team can begin organizing exhibits right away.

Question 3

Do we have to create all folders at once?

Accepted Answer

No. You can create folders all at once at the start of the project or add them gradually over time. This gives your team flexibility when the trade setup changes or when you want to organize the project in stages.

Question 4

What is the Common Folder used for?

Accepted Answer

Use the Common Folder for exhibits with project-specific terms that stay the same for all trades. You can also use it to tailor project-specific terms in scope exhibits before they get copied or inherited into Trade Folders for trade-level scope items and revisions.

Question 5

What are Trade Folders used for?

Accepted Answer

Trade Folders are used for trade-specific scope of work exhibits and related project exhibits for a specific trade. They help your team keep each trade’s documents complete, organized, and easier to tailor.

Question 6

Can Trade Folders include exhibits that were inherited from the Common Folder

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trade Folders can contain exhibits that were created directly for that trade or inherited from the Common Folder. This helps teams start with shared project-specific terms and then tailor each exhibit for trade-level scope items and revisions.

Question 7

Can we reorganize Trade Folders after the project starts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add new Trade Folders, delete ones you no longer need, or reorganize them as trade categories are merged, split, or adjusted. This helps your folder structure keep up with the way the project changes.

Question 8

Can we move exhibits from one folder to another?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can move exhibits from one folder to another as your folder structure changes. This makes it easier to reorganize your project without losing track of the documents you already created.

Question 9

Can we delete Trade Folders we no longer need?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a trade folder is no longer needed, you can remove it as part of reorganizing the project. This helps keep the workspace aligned with the current trade setup instead of carrying unused folders forward.

Question 10

How do folders help reduce confusion for the team?

Accepted Answer

Folders give your team a clearer place to find and manage exhibits by common content and by trade. This makes it easier to understand where documents belong and where trade-specific tailoring should happen.

Question 11

Can we adjust the folder structure to match a project’s specific needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The starting structure can be created automatically, but your team can adjust it as needed. That flexibility helps you match the folder setup to the actual project instead of forcing every project into the same structure.

Question 12

Are folders only for scope of work exhibits?

Accepted Answer

No. Scope of work exhibits are a major use case, but folders can also hold other related project exhibits. This helps teams keep supporting documents together with the trade or common content they belong to.
