    After using Viewpoint by Vista and having the ability to create packages using individual submittal items,
    I find Viewpoint Team as less than efficient. What Viewpoint Team calls a “Package” is actually the
    individual submittal items. This forces the system to create an individual cover sheet for each item. In
    theory, this is great because you can, without a doubt, know that each item is approved. The issue with
    this lies within the Design Team. On multiple projects, the Design Team has commented that they do
    not wish to approve individual items but would rather stamp their approval on a “Package” cover sheet.
    An improvement, would be an option to select multiple items from the submittal list and create a true
    “Package” and that has individual items i.e. product data, catalog cuts, and/or shop drawings all listed
    under one cover sheet. An example of this would be for Cast in Place Concrete. A package for this spec
    section would include mix design product data, rebar product data, rebar shop drawings, and
    contraction jointing shop drawings. With Viewpoint Team there would be at least four cover sheets for
    this specification section that eh reviewer would have to stamp sign and upload. Our suggestion would
    allow there to be one cover sheet for the “CIP Concrete System” that the reviewer could stamp and
    send back.
    A possible layout for this could have a separate Package tab or a split screen view similar to the
    screenshot form Viewpoint Vista below. Also, below are actual PDFs of cover sheets produced by
    Viewpoint Vista. These are actual “Package” cover sheets that list out the items as suggested above.
