Project Express allows you to send and receive projects right from On-Screen Takeoff.
- Each time you send files via Project Express, refresh your Inbox or Outbox, or refresh the Account Information dialog, your Project Express registration and Maintenance Subscription are checked. If your Maintenance Subscription with On Center Software lapses, you will have access to Project Express for a limited time. Contact our Client Services group at 866-426-2447 to renew your Maintenance Agreement to get the full benefits of Project Express.
- If you are using Project Express to send/receive DPC Change Files, they must be imported in the order they were sent from the field. See the DPC User Guide for more information.
- Uploaded files are available to download for 14 days from send-date. If the recipient does not download the file in that time, you'll have to resend.
