Review Comments

Maybe this is old news, but I just discovered it, so maybe others haven't yet.

The summary review comments, especially for this credit, come in a nearly illegible no-formatting-in-sight spreadsheet--which has been a headache for our project teams. In LOv3 I found formatted and legible review comments attached to each credit under the "Overview" "Review Snapshot" page. From here you can see all of the review comments by credit (this would be even better if the credits were in order, but this is such an improvement it almost doesn't even matter). You can click to expand each credit which reveals PDFs of the credit form, all uploads associated with that credit, and an html version of the review comments for that credit.

Further making my day, there is also a "download all" button, this means you can now download your entire design (or construction, I assume) review (forms, uploads, and comments) in one fell swoop. This is a super time saver! Now you can just let it download in the background while you do other things, previously you would need to download each form and upload separately.

Emily! Those are great news! I can't find the "download all" button which indeed will save me lots of time. Can you please specify a little more where can I find it? Thanks a lot!

Daniela,If you go to the Timeline tab and click on Review Snapshot then you will see the Download All button.

Hi Emily, I am just curious if you have you noticed if this function works all of the time, or is it hit and miss? I finished a project a couple of months ago and was able to “download all” documentation for every credit under both the preliminary and final reviews, but now a project I just submitted a few weeks ago only shows documentation for 4 of the 47 credits we’re attempting. It was such a great time saver to "download all", that I would just not want to have to manually download each attachment/form for every individual credit. Maybe it is a glitch that can be fixed?! Any input is appreciated. Thanks ~ Marie
