Disable Automatic Document Rendering

As a document controller, contributor, or administrator, you can disable automatic renditions on a per-document basis in Meridian Power and attach a custom rendition manually. When you disable automatic renditions, you must attach an up-to-date rendition before moving the document to the next workflow state.

This helps you:

• Ensure the right rendition is sent forward if the automatic rendition doesn’t render the document correctly.

• Preserve custom renditions that reflect specific formatting or content needs.

• Prevent automatic publisher jobs from overwriting your manually attached rendition.

• Maintain the manual attached rendition through workflow transitions and document publishing.

When you disable automatic rendering:

• Meridian still applies watermarks on workflow transitions.

• Workflow transitions don’t update title blocks in drawings. Before you create a PDF of the drawing and attach the rendition, make sure the title block is up to date.

Prerequisites

The document must be editable in the Under Change workflow state.
