The About SpecsIntact window provides important information about your SpecsIntact installation, including version, installation path, and the type of installation (executable, MSI, or SI Lite). From this window, you can also independently check your SpecsIntact and UFGS Master versions, and view the disclaimer statement outlining the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers license agreement terms.
Checking SI Versions
Automatic
This is a conditional feature that will appear when opening the SpecsIntact Explorer. A message will appear if your SpecsIntact software or Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) needs an update. You can then choose to download the latest version from the SpecsIntact Website or ignore it.
If the software version is out-of-date, SpecsIntact will display the Current SpecsIntact Version window. From here, you can select Open SpecsIntact Website to download the current software version, or ignore it without downloading the current version.
If the UFGS Master is out-of-date, SpecsIntact will display the New UFGS Version window. From here, you can select Download the latest UFGS to download the current UFGS Master or ignore it without downloading the current version.
You will not encounter these messages when the software or UFGS Master is up-to-date.
DoD personnel must download the officially approved software for their particular service. To obtain the latest approved version of SpecsIntact, refer to your internal software portals (e.g., App Portal, Software Center, etc.).
To learn more about the Check for Updates feature, refer to the SpecsIntact Explorer's Setup menu > Options > General tab.
