Attachment Best Practices - MEPs, IP Lists, Network Risers

Every myMSI project includes an attachments tab. This tab allows you to store various project collateral, information and documentation so that it can be referenced later. The attachments tab allows you to upload any file type and set an unlimited number of folders in which to organize the documentation.

Here is a starting guide of what we find to be the best way to organize our attachments:

Folders:

Folder Name	Sample Files	Definition/Description
Project Drawings
	Architecturals	Technical drawing showing the architectural build of the building/area
	BIM	3D CAD model of the building (if applicable)

Area Graphics
	Floorplan - Lvl 1...Roof	SVG drawings of the different floor plans of the building, which will be used on KODE OS to display physical device placements
	System Diagram	SVG drawings of larger mechanical systems which will be used on KODE OS to display mechanical component placements

MEPs
	Mechanical	Technical drawing showing the installation/layout of the mechanical equipment planned to go into the site.
	Single Line	Symbolic representation of power delivery across the building with the various electrical components displayed (ex. metering)
	Plumbing	Technical drawing showing the installation/layout of the plumbing equipment planned to go into the site

Controls
	Shop drawings	A drawing/document indicating the expected installation, configuration and specifications of the HVAC Controls equipment
	Product Manuals	Product information for all the HVAC controls equipment being installed on site
	Network Riser	Document showing how HVAC controls will communicate with each other, what any network configurations (IPs, MACs, etc.) are, and how the system will communicate with the final control software

Lighting
	Shop drawings	A drawing/document indicating the expected installation, configuration and specifications of the lighting equipment
	API Docs or Points lists of Controllers	Documentation (whether API or direct points list) showing the exact data points the system will surface
	Network Riser	Document showing how lighting equipment will communicate with each other, what any network configurations (IPs, MACs, etc.) are, and how the system will communicate with the final control software

System *
	Deployment Drawings	A drawing/document indicating the expected installation, configuration and specifications of the system equipment
	API Docs or Points lists of Controllers (if applicable)	Documentation (whether API or direct points list) showing the exact data points the system will surface
	Product Manuals	Product information for all the equipment being installed on site

*A folder per system being installed, that contains the various documentation that outlines the system’s deployment and data specifications. Examples of systems include access control, CCTV, Occupancy, Fire, Generators, etc.
