Introduction to the Masterspec Interface & Specification Workspace

Explore our specifier documentation or delve deeper with our On-Demand Training Series on YouTube. Learn how to navigate the Masterspec interface, create and edit specifications, and master the export process.

Creating specifications with Masterspec is more efficient compared to traditional specification writing and documentation.


The Masterspec workspace is where you create and manage projects. Use Masterspec's intuitive online workspace to add, edit and update specification sections for output. Save time by creating and saving Office Masters as well as the necessary supporting material to build a complete, finished specification document for your project.

The Workspace is split into four main parts:

  1. Index Panel - This panel contains the Specification Work Sections which are pre-written text modules covering specific construction elements or systems. 

  2. Editing Panel - This panel is where you add, edit, update and attach necessary technical, sustainability and other supplementary documentation for each work section.
     
  3. Libraries Panel - This panel is where you select which work sections from our CBI to add to your project. In this panel, you’ll also find Office Masters which is where you can create a Masterfile of your specifications.
     
  4. Product Data Panel - This panel is linked to the miproducts database. It provides comprehensive resource of building products and materials, complete with detailed technical information, compliance data, and up-to-date certifications.

You can control the management of all projects, set output preferences, or keep up to date with the latest changes by using the Update Manager feature. On output, select technical documentation from the online manufacturer's document library.
