What goes where?
The CDS Planroom was developed to be either hosted by us or in-house with your local reprographer. Printable files are maintained on a server, along with the database of all the project drawings. In either case, Hosted by us or in-house, your local reprographer is always in control of all project files and plans.
Setting up the planroom
After your planroom has been established by your local reprographer, your drawings are scanned from hardcopy or converted from electronic files to unalterable image files. These image files are stored on the reprographer's server in-house or hosted by ePLANHOLDER for viewing online. At this point - usually no more than a few hours after submitting your plans and specs - your planroom is up and available for use on the Web.
Using the Planroom
Planroom users enter by going directly to the website online, from a link on the reprographer's site or, in some cases, by going directly to the reprographer's home page. Automated emails will also contain a link that will take the user directly to the planroom login page. Once there, users can access the drawings they need, review them with the plan viewer, add selected plans or complete bids sent to the e-commerce shopping cart for order placement. The order information is immediately entered into the database and is accessible through CDS's administrative panel. The local reprographer will also receive an email alerting them to the order in which they will complete the order by printing drawings and distributing the drawings to the multiple locations specified at the time of order.
