[BOLDR] File Organization

In BOLDR Pro, the file structure works as follows. Projects store one or more Jobs, and Jobs store the files for that specific scope of work. Within a Project, you can also use Folders to group related Jobs together. This structure keeps drawings, photos, and documents organized by Job while still tying everything back to a single Project.

Projects and Jobs

A Project represents the overall site or property, such as an entire house or building. Within each Project, you create one or more Jobs to represent specific areas, floors, or phases of the work.

Jobs inherit context from their parent Project but keep their own measurements, files, and details separate.

Folders (Optional)

For larger sites with many Jobs, you can add Folders inside a Project to keep related Jobs grouped together. Folders are optional: on a smaller Project you can place Jobs directly under the Project, while on a larger one you might use Folders to separate work by building, unit, or phase. To create one, open a Project, choose Folder from the add menu, name it, and then create your Jobs inside it.

Where Files Are Stored

Files are attached at the Job level. Each Job can store its own measurements, PDFs, drawings, images, and other documents related to that area. This keeps files tightly linked to the measurements and tasks for that Job.

For example, a Project could represent an entire house, a Job could be the “First Floor,” and all first-floor plans, photos, and reference files would be stored inside that Job.

Practical Example

Project: “123 Main Street – Residence” (the whole house)

Jobs: “First Floor,” “Second Floor,” “Basement.” Each Job contains its own measurement groups and file library, so teams working on the First Floor only see the files relevant to that part of the Project.
