Introduction

ProjectWise Explorer is a software tool that embodies a new philosophy of file management and workflow utilization to keep files up-to-date and easily accessible. In the ProjectWise (PW) environment, files are kept on a central storage server. ProjectWise Explorer is the interface that allows users to create and manage a file by integrating simple steps in an automated procedure that tracks actions that occur to the file and its contents. Overall this allows for robust security tailored to workflows and enables powerful queries

ProjectWise is used by WFLHD to manage and track electronic documents. It provides the office with a central filing system for use by all technical disciplines, eliminating multiple copies of individual files, and introducing a holistic security and file checkout system for users to track and maintain single working files.

A place for everything and everything in its place.
