Still using Word templates with placeholder text, red instructions, and manual reminders to update project details?

In this video, see how smart fields create a more robust and scalable approach to BIM document management. You'll learn how smart fields help automate project information, reduce manual editing, and improve consistency across documents - all while supporting better BIM management and ISO 19650 information management workflows.

This walkthrough shows how smart fields connect document content to project data, making it much easier to manage updates across your entire document set.

In this video, you'll learn:
- What smart fields are and how they work
- How incomplete and completed smart fields are displayed
- How to insert smart fields into project documents
- How database-linked smart fields update content automatically
- How project settings can populate values across multiple documents
- How smart fields work in different document states
- How shared documents can act like forms
- How published documents lock smart field editing for authorized use

This is a practical workflow for teams that want to move away from manual copy and paste and toward a more controlled, efficient, and reusable approach to project information management.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Project Managers
- Design teams
- Construction teams
