The key to being able to view Drawings out on the project site is the ability to have a local copy of the Drawings synced to their mobile device. Not being able to get to your sets without cell service or WiFi, or waiting long periods of time for them to load with slow connections, leads to the death of the excitement of having them available in the field. Keeping a local copy synced to the mobile device at all times will prevent this.
This sync should happen on a periodic basis (possibly set by the Project Editors) so that the local set is up-to-date regardless of whether your connection is good or even exists where you are.
Additionally, Project Editors should have the ability to select which Drawings (or all) to sync to which user's devices. For example: if you have 5 areas on your project and a Superintendent for each area, each one should have the Drawing sets for his specific area synced locally to his device at all times.

Fantastic! That will set TEAM apart from most of the other mobile plan viewing platforms.
The only reason I bring up the ability to choose which sets, etc. to sync is where we have very large plan sets divided up into different areas. That way the superintendent for each area could have his own set locally as well as be able to access the others via internet connections to save space and sync time on their device.

Thanks Lon - good news is we have work in progress on this right now. In the first version we'll provide the ability to keep the latest revision of all drawings synced offline (with a download on wifi only option). From there we'll add more options like all revisions, specific disciplines, sets, etc.
