Track acknowledgements

Read the transmittal register at a glance, filter to outstanding and overdue responses, and chase stragglers.

1 min read

Issuing a transmittal is half the job. The other half is knowing who has acknowledged it and who has gone quiet. The project transmittal register shows both at a glance.

Read the register at a glance

In the sidebar, open Projects, open your project, then click Transmittals. Each row tracks one transmittal:

Column	What it shows
Number	The transmittal's unique number in this project.
Subject	What you called it when you issued it.
Status	Issued, Draft, or Recalled.
Acknowledged	How many recipients have confirmed receipt, out of the total (3 of 8).
Outstanding	How many responses are still open, with an Overdue flag when the response date has passed.
Issued date	When it went out.

The transmittal register with the Acknowledged and Outstanding columns showing counts and an Overdue flag — Acknowledged and Outstanding tell you where each transmittal stands.

Filter to what needs chasing

1
Use the Status filter to narrow to Issued, Draft, or Recalled transmittals.
2
Use the Response filter to show only Outstanding, Overdue, or Acknowledged transmittals. Overdue is usually the list you want first thing in the morning.
3
Use the Reason filter to focus on one kind of issue, such as everything sent for review.

Chase the stragglers

A transmittal turns Overdue when its Response required by date passes with responses still open. Send a reminder from the transmittal to nudge everyone who has not responded yet. The reminder goes only to the outstanding recipients, so the people who already acknowledged are left in peace.

Export to Excel

Click Export to Excel to take the register, with its acknowledgement counts, into a spreadsheet. Handy for progress meetings and monthly reports.

Looking from the document's side?

Every document details page has a Distribution tab showing which transmittals carried that document. It answers "who has this drawing?" without opening a single transmittal.
