Notices

Open this screen in Saral/projects/notices-register

One list of everything on your projects that carries a response deadline: the client's comments on our drawings, our notices (DPN, GDN, CDN) and RFIs. It opens on New, the ones waiting on us, for every project you may open. The same screen is in the Design module and in the Projects module. Nothing is typed here and nothing is sent from here.

You enter

Nothing on the rows. You choose which projects, which of New, Waiting on client or Answered, and which kinds to show.
Comments on a row for your colleagues: type @ and a name to tell that person inside Saral.

Saral fills in

Each row's project, kind, reference, subject, package and owner, the day it was received and the day it is due, from the records Saral already holds for the project.
The clock: the days left, due today, or the days over. A row with no deadline says No clock.
The counts on New, Waiting on client and Answered for the projects you picked.
A note above the list when comments, notices or RFIs could not be read, so a gap is never read as none.

It produces

The list as Excel or PDF from the table's own download buttons.
For a seat that may answer on the Design Desk, a link on the row that opens it there. Saral never posts an answer to the client; a person issues it.

What this page is for

Seeing, in one place and across projects, what needs a response and by when. Before this the comments, the notices and the RFIs each had their own screen, one project at a time.

Answered items leave the list

The list opens on New so it only shows what still needs us. Once an item is answered or closed it moves to Answered, where it can still be found with the day it was answered.

Comments and mentions

Each row has its own thread, shared with the Design Desk, so the same comments show wherever the row is opened. Mention a colleague with @ and their name and they are told inside Saral.

Nothing is sent from here

The page only reads. Answers are written on the Design Desk by the design team, and a person issues them to the client. Payment notices are a different thing and are under Projects, Payments.

Not what you needed? Inside Saral, ask Kuku (Alt+K) — if it cannot answer, “Ask a human” sends the question to Saral support with the chat attached.
