Drawings
Upload and organize drawings on the web, then download them to your phone so the plans are with you on site, even without signal.
Drawings live under the Field module. You upload and organize them on the web at Field > Drawings, and your team downloads them to their phones to browse on site and pin observations to them.
Managing drawings on the web
Uploading drawings
Click Upload Drawings on the Drawings page and pick your files. Cogram reads each sheet's title block and fills in the drawing number, date, and discipline automatically. Check the results in the list and fix anything in place: click a drawing's Discipline cell to change it, or use the Edit action for the rest.
Uploading the same drawing number again creates a new revision, so the current sheet stays on top and older revisions remain available.
Organizing with drawing sets
Drawing sets group sheets into packages, like "Bid Set 2026" or "IFC Set". Click Manage Sets to create sets and assign sheets. Sets are what your team downloads to their phones, so group sheets the way people will need them on site. A set belongs to one project.
Bulk-editing drawings
When several drawings need the same discipline, drawing set, or date, update them in one step:
Select the drawings with the checkboxes in the first column.
Click Edit (N) in the toolbar that appears above the table.
Fill in any combination of Discipline, Drawing Date, and Drawing Set.
Click Save.
Fields you leave blank are left alone on every selected drawing, not cleared. To remove a value from a drawing, open that drawing individually and clear the field there.
If your selection spans multiple projects, the Drawing Set field is disabled ("Selected drawings span multiple projects"); discipline and date still work across projects. If some drawings cannot be updated, the dialog keeps the successful ones saved and lists the failures so you can fix and retry only those.
Who can manage drawings
Editing (bulk and single) is available to project Owners and Leads in their projects, and to Org Admins and Org Owners across all projects. Deleting is stricter: only a project Owner or Lead can delete a drawing. Members and Viewers can view and download. See Project Roles.
Drawings on your phone
Downloading sets for offline use
Signal is unreliable on site, so download what you need in advance:
Open the Drawings tab in the mobile app and pick the project.
Tap the download icon on a drawing set. A progress bar shows how many sheets are done.
Downloaded sets offer Refresh (fetch the latest revisions) and Remove from offline.
You can also open a set and long-press sheets to select several and download only those.
Each sheet shows its state at a glance: a green check (downloaded), a refresh icon (a newer revision exists), a cloud icon (not downloaded), or a cloud-off icon (not downloaded while you are offline).
The app manages its own storage. If space runs low, it removes older unpinned sets and tells you how much it freed. Sets you keep downloaded stay put.
Browsing on site
Inside a set, filter sheets by discipline with the chips at the top, switch between list and grid view, or search. Open a sheet to pan and zoom.
Red pins on a sheet are existing observations; tap one to open it. Long-press anywhere on the sheet to capture a new observation pinned to that spot. See Capture Observations.
