documents you want to affect using the checkboxes to the left of their document numbers, and

documents as you need to.
12. Once you’ve added the relevant data for the documents you want to register, click
the Submit button at the page’s top-right to move them into the project’s Document Register.
You’ll see a confirmation message when the process is complete.
4.9 Supersede documents using the Bulk Processing tool
If you’re working with large numbers of documents, the easiest way to upload and supersede them in
the Document Register is to use a metadata file.
Here's how it works:
1. Create and download a metadata file.

2. Enter the details for your updated documents in the metadata file.
3. Upload your documents into the Temporary Files area of your Document Register.
4. Test your template.
5. Run a bulk process to move the updated files into your Document Register (along with the
updated data).
4.9.1 Generating and Exporting a Custom Document Report
1. Click Documents
2. Under Actions click Bulk Processing.
3. Click the New Bulk Process button.
4. Fill in the Title field to give your job a name. This way, you'll be able to find it easily if you come
back to complete the job later. It will also make relevant document reports more meaningful.

5. Click the Metadata Template button.
6. Click Save File.

This will save the file onto your computer or local network, depending on the way your computer’s
set up. By default the file will be named TemplateMetadata.xls.
4.9.2 Enter the details for your updated documents in the metadata file
Next, fill in the updated details for the documents.
To make this easier, you can cut and paste information from other systems such as CAD systems if
you like.
Keep in mind that the information in your metadata file will overwrite any information that’s recorded
against the documents in the Document Register.
1. Open your metadata template file.
2. Complete all the mandatory fields. They're shown in bold in your file.
3. In the File field, enter the full name of the document file, including the attachment type. For
example, CRJGR-ACX00-DD-INF-S3.0-CNS-EWK-10001(00).pdf
4. Complete as many of the other fields in the template as you need to.
5. Double-check that you've recorded the correct document numbers in your metadata template. If
the revision number or letter for a given document in your metadata file is higher than the revision
that's stored in Aconex, the system can supersede the document for you when you run this bulk
process.
6. Save your metadata file in CSV file format. To save an Excel file as CSV, click File > Save
As and use the Format selector to choose CSV.
4.9.3 Upload your documents into the Temporary Files area

There are two methods you can use to upload your files:
• Use the Multi File Upload tool

• Use a zip file upload process.
At the end of either upload process, you’ll see a confirmation that files are available in
your Temporary Files area.

4.9.4 Test your template
Next, test your metadata template.
When you upload and test the metadata template it will:

• check the information you’ve entered in the File column of your template
• find the matching file that you've just uploaded into Temporary Files
• check this file's Document Number
• look for the existing Document Number in your Document Register.
1. Click the New Bulk Process button.
2. In the Title field, give your bulk processing job a name. This way, you’ll be able to come back and
complete this task later if you're interrupted.
3. Click the Metadata File button.
4. Click Local Computer/Network button.
5. Click Browse.
6. Select your metadata template document.
7. Click Attach.
9. Click the Test button.
10. Click the Refresh button.

You’ll see a file appear next to the Log file section.
11. Open this file.
12. Check the Result column in the Log file.
13. If everything is marked as Okay, continue on to the next step.

If there are any errors to correct:
a. Edit your metadata file.
b. In Aconex, click the Copy button to create a new job with the same details.
c. Repeat this procedure from step 4 with your updated metadata file.
You can make changes to the default bulk processing rules if you need to, by clicking on
the Rules button. In most cases you won’t need to change the defaults. If you're only superseding
documents, however, you may want to select the Supersede Documents Only rule.

4.9.5 Run the bulk process
Now that you have set up and tested everything, you can run the bulk processing job.
1. Click the Run button to start the job.
2. Click the Refresh button.
3. Open the Log file report.
4. Check that Okay is recorded against all documents in the Results column.
All your files have now been uploaded and superseded.
4.9.6 Mark document as “No Longer in Use”

No one can delete documents from Aconex, but you can hide a document from document register
4.9.7 What happens when I mark a document as no longer in use?

The document won't appear in your organization's document register. The document can still be
viewed in History.
Have you transmitted the document to other organizations? If you want to hide the document from
their document registers as well, send a transmittal to update the status to these organizations.
When should I mark a document as no longer in use?

Mark documents as no longer in use when, for example:
• Documents have been transmitted to you in error, and you want to hide them in your register, or
• A portion of the work will not be carried out, and you want to hide documents relating to this work.
Register
2. Complete one or more search criteria fields

3. Click the Search button
4. Click the checkbox of each document that you want to mark as no longer in use

• Add more documents. Click the Add Documents button and repeat step 3 to search again.
• Remove documents. Click the Trash to Remove each document from the selection
7. Click the Mark as No Longer in Use button.
4.9.8 Don't mark documents as no longer in use to fix a mistake!
Has someone made an error with the document? For example, if someone has uploaded the wrong
file. Then, don't mark the document as no longer in use. You can fix the error by superseding the
document with the correct file or document information. Add in a comment about why the document
was superseded.
• You can't restore a document to current once you have marked it as no longer in use
