Project Organization

Each project in Design IQ is a container for related design work. Understanding the structure helps you organize your work efficiently.

Project Components

Documents

Projects can have their own dedicated documents uploaded specifically for that project. These appear in the Data tab under “Project Documents” when you have a project selected.

Workflows

Workflows can be associated with specific projects. When you run a workflow, you select which project documents to review.

Results

Review results are tied to the project and workflow combination, making it easy to track findings for specific design reviews.

Document Hierarchy

Design IQ uses a two-level document hierarchy:
Global documents available across all projects in your organization. These might include:
  • Company design standards
  • Reference specifications
  • Code requirements
  • Templates and guidelines

Best Practices

Create distinct projects for different buildings, phases, or design disciplines.
Upload company standards and reference documents at the organization level so they’re available across all projects.
Only upload documents directly related to the specific project to avoid confusion.

Project Workflow

A typical project workflow in Design IQ:
  1. Create the project
  2. Upload project-specific documents
  3. Create or select a workflow (checklist)
  4. Run the workflow against project documents
  5. Review results and findings
  6. Respond to findings and export reports
