Covers, TOC and bookmarks
Video coming soon — the written steps below cover everything.
The cover gallery
- Open the cover picker on a submittal (or a hydraulic calc package — they share the system).
- Click through the 13 templates. They range from copier-proof black & white — for AHJs that photocopy everything — to design-forward layouts with color.
- Every template pulls the same data: project name and address, your company block, license number, and logo.
Starred favorites
Click the star on any template and it pins to the top of the gallery, on every project, in both the submittal and calc-package tools. Most shops settle on one or two house styles — star them once and stop scrolling.
What gets built automatically
- Table of contents: one line per item, grouped under category headings, with the page number on the right. Every line is a clickable link in the PDF.
- Bookmarks: the PDF sidebar mirrors the TOC — categories, then items. Reviewers navigate here.
- Page numbers: stamped through the whole package so "see page 42" means something on a phone call.
Why this matters
Plan reviewers see hundreds of submittals. The ones that come back fast are the ones where the reviewer can find the ESFR data page in three seconds. Structure is speed.
House style tip: your contractor card (logo, license, address) is set once in the app and reused everywhere — covers, proposals, calc packages. Keep the logo file high-resolution; it prints at cover size.
