Output your specification

Remember that before you go to export your specification, there are a couple of check list items for you.

  1. Have you set the document to complete? If not, DRAFT will appear on the front page of the specification.
  2. Update your project details to include relevant names, dates, addresses and notes as these all print out on the front sheet.
  3. Make sure you have managed your Manufacturers Info and Contract Appendix sections and their documents are in the appropriate order.
  4. Do you need any Export notes? These will appear on the cover page. (You could include version details, or customer name).

Select the Export tab from the Specification Home page. From the popup window work through the list of settings.

NOTE: It is advisable to export and save your specification to your own server or hard drive at the milestone points of your project.

NOTE 2: It is possible to Export into a Word document for editing further. The Masterspec Link tools can be switched on and used on any additional sections. Guidance notes cannot be viewed in previously downloaded sections. Any updates then made in word are NOT able to be imported back into Masterspec online.
