Create a Transmittal

Create a transmittal to create a cover sheet to accompany documents, drawings, and items sent to project stakeholders. The transmittal lists the items being sent and explains to recipients why they are receiving the items and what actions are required.

If needed, you can select internal users who should review the transmittal. Reviewers should use the steps outlined in the Review and Approve Project Documents topic to review a transmittal. Once you have created the transmittal, you can create a PDF file from a transmittal form that you can view, print, or send in an email.
