OS/OW projects accumulate documents quickly: permits, regulations, engineering letters, insurance certificates, photos, and route documentation. Without a structured place for these artifacts, teams waste time searching email and shared drives — and lose the audit trail that protects them.
The OS/OW Document Center
The Document Center is a project-level workspace that organizes every supporting document a permit office, escort company, or driver might need.
**Folder Structure** — Preset folders for the typical OS/OW workflow: Permits, Regulations, Route Documentation, Engineering, Insurance, and Field Photos. Custom folders are supported per project.
**Linking Documents** — Any uploaded document can be linked to a specific POI (an engineering letter for a particular bridge) or to the route as a whole. Linked documents surface alongside the POI in the map and in generated reports.
Permit Application Auto-Fill
Permit Application Auto-Fill takes data you have already captured — the route, the load envelope, the equipment configuration, and the carrier details — and pre-populates the appropriate jurisdictional permit application.
**How to Use It** — Open the route, choose Generate Permit Application, select the issuing jurisdiction, and review the populated fields. Fill in any remaining jurisdiction-specific fields and export as PDF.
**Reusable Profiles** — Save your carrier details and tractor/trailer configurations once in the Equipment library; auto-fill pulls from them on every future application.
**Important** — Auto-fill produces a strong starting point, not a finished filing. Always verify every field against the issuing authority's current requirements before submission.
Versioning & Audit Trail
Every generated artifact lands in the Document Hub with a sequential version label (V01, V02, V03…). Older versions are preserved. Use Mark as Official to flag the current authoritative revision and Compare to see what changed between two versions.
**Audit Trail** — Every upload, replacement, and download is logged with the user, timestamp, and version label. When a permit office, insurer, or claims adjuster asks who provided what and when — the answer is in the record.
Sharing the Right Copy
When you share a Client Delivery Portal link or email a deliverable, RoadScope includes the version label so recipients know exactly which revision they are viewing. Drivers receive the briefing version that matches the dispatched route, not whatever was emailed last week.
