PerSpective and Short Form Summary Info dialog box
Most of the fields on the Summary Info Dialog Box for PerSpective and Short Form
are the same as the fields in the SpecLink Summary Info Dialog Box. The following
highlights only the differences.
Document
Function
PerSpective includes a global switch that changes language
throughout the database, depending on the intended use of the
documents. Choose the appropriate function from the three that are
offered, as follows: Building Design Criteria (an owner preparing an
RFP), Proposed Performance Specifications (a design-builder
responding with a proposal), or Construction Documentation
(communications between members of the building team).
References
PerSpective includes a single reference document—Section 00840—
that includes a consolidated list of reference standards for the entire
tab. This list includes the acronym, the document number, the full title,
and the current edition date (optional) of each standard. If you choose
to include this chapter, links automatically include all the reference
standards that are relevant to your project. There are two options that
relate to reference standard citations; you can select either or both.
Print Edition
When the section is printed, the edition dates are included with
