ConstructionOnline™ has introduced powerful new Comments functionality for Submittals, giving project teams a direct, organized way to discuss documentation and approvals right where they happen. With this update, collaboration on critical project details becomes faster, clearer, and easier to track.
Whether clarifying specifications, confirming receipt, or resolving discrepancies, team members can keep every conversation tied to the exact record it references—eliminating scattered emails and reducing costly misunderstandings.
Streamlined Communication, Smarter Workflow
The new Comments for Submittals mirror the familiar system already used for Change Orders, Client Selections, Daily Logs, Checklists, and Punch Lists. This means teams benefit from:
- Segmented Comment Threads to separate company, client, and team discussions
- Permission-Based Visibility so each user only sees the comments relevant to their responsibilities
- Unread Comment Indicators and Comment Counters to provide at-a-glance updates for all users
- Quick Access to conversations from both list views and individual submittal records
Connected Across the Platform
Comments for Submittals integrate seamlessly with ConstructionOnline’s global collaboration tools, appearing in:
- The bell icon 🔔 within the Notification Center for instant alerts
- The My Agenda Comments widget for at-a-glance updates
- The Comments tab in the Latest News / Help & Support blade for centralized visibility
By embedding Comments directly within Submittals, ConstructionOnline ensures that project documentation and communication stay connected in one place, helping construction teams move from submission to approval with confidence.
