SI Explorer File Menu - New Master: Specifiers 

This command can also be executed from the SpecsIntact Explorer's Toolbar or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M.

The Specifiers tab provides the option to automate specifier assignments. Here, you can designate a specifier for each Division within a Master, ensuring that all new Sections added are automatically assigned to the appropriate designer for that Division. Certain CSI MasterFormat Divisions (00-49) are initially disabled if your project's CSI MasterFormat version doesn't utilize them. 

To assign a specifier, you have two convenient options. If your specifiers list has already been created, click the drop-down arrow and select the appropriate name. If you need to add a new specifier or if the name isn't on the existing list, you can either type a new name directly into the Division field or click the Modify button. The Modify button will open the Specifiers tab, which is located within the Setup menu > Options, allowing you to add new specifiers or manage your current list. To learn more about setting up and maintaining your specifier list, refer to the  Setup menu  > Options > Specifiers.

Click the tabbed commands on the image below to see how to use each function.

  • Add Selected button - Quickly adds the selected specifier to the list.  You can enter the specifiers directly in the text boxes, or select one from the drop-down list generated through the Setup menu > Options > Specifiers tab.
  • Modify button - Opens the Setup menu > Options > Specifiers tab to create, manage, or modify the list of specifiers. This is the most efficient way to add multiple names to the list.
