Prototype

The Prototype module is used to create and manage templates for construction projects. For example, a retailer may have three standard prototypes: a small store, a medium store, and a large store. Stores falling in these three categories would all share a common or similar floor plan. Prototypes are not tied to geography or an entity chain and are typically only used for new builds. The Prototype module is not directly linked to any other module.

Arguably, the most heavily used section of the Prototype module is the Documents page. The Documents page of a prototype is often used by clients to house floor plans, architectural documents, MSAs, and other documentation.

The Change Management sub-module can be used for tracking minor updates to a prototype. Major updates may correlate with an entirely new floor plan or design initiative. Work with your management team to determine the distinctions between major and minor changes.
