Generates a list of documents that either have not been published or have been modified and need to be published again or have been deleted since the last publish. The command is found on the SmartPlant menu in the Drawings and Reports task.
This command can also be accessed from using the Find button on the Publish tab of the Publish dialog box. For more information, see Publish Tab (Publish Dialog Box).
Documents must be up-to-date, and the required Discipline property must be defined in order for the documents to be available for publishing. An error message displays if one or more of the documents found by the Find Documents to Publish command do not meet this criterion. All items matching the publish criteria continue through the process. For more information on setting the appropriate properties, see Set properties for publishing documents. For more information on updating documents, see Updating Documents.
The SmartPlant > Find Documents to Publish command looks for the following:
-
Documents created but never published
-
Documents modified since their last publish
-
Documents deleted after being published
The command looks for documents that need to be republished in the active WBS project. For example, if Project A is the active project, the Find Documents to Publish command looks for documents in Project A only. You set the active WBS project in the Active Project box on the main toolbar. For more information, see Manage Projects.
