Write a deliverable

Have your agent write the document the project must produce, review it, sign it, export it to Word.

A project ends with a document: a project basis, a use agreement, a geotechnical report, a verification note. The deliverable is that document, kept in the dossier section by section, each section with what it rests on. Your agent writes it from what the dossier knows; you review, correct and sign.


Open the document

Tell your agent, on a dossier you have already named:

draft the project basis

It calls draft_deliverable, which opens the document and hands it the plan: one section per chapter, each with what belongs there and what is already written. Asking twice for the same document on the same dossier returns the same document, never a second one.

You can also open it by hand: the dossier's Livrables tab, Ouvrir un document (open a document), then the kind. There are five:

KindWhat it isThe default plan comes from
Project basisThe conditions the design rests onSIA 260, clause 2.5
Use agreementWhat the owner and the engineer agree onSIA 260, clause 2.2
Geotechnical reportSituation, investigation, model, parameters, foundations, risksthe usage of Swiss reports
Verification noteThe dossier reviewed question by questionthe PDF note the dossier prints
OtherA document with a free plana single section

If your office validated a template of that kind on the Library page, the plan is the office's, not Stratta's: its chapters, in its order. See The office library. The plan is frozen when the document opens: editing the template afterwards does not reshuffle a half-written document.


What the agent writes, and what it cannot write

For each section the agent calls write_section with the text and its sources: a decision or a piece of evidence of the dossier, a fact of the site sheet, a clause it read, a page of an attachment. A section without a source is not saved. That rule is what makes the document worth signing: every sentence of substance rests on something the dossier holds.

When the dossier has nothing for a section, the agent marks it to establish, with what is missing and who can supply it. It prints as a gap, never as a plausible sentence.

Each section carries one of three states:

  • to establish: nothing in the dossier yet;
  • current, unmarked: written, with its sources;
  • to review: a source changed since (see below).

Review and correct

Livrables tab, then the document. Each section shows its text, its sources, its state. Écrire or Modifier (write, edit) opens the section: the text, the "nothing in the dossier for this section" box, and the sources, picked among the dossier's decisions and evidence and the clauses the agent read, or typed as a clause ("SIA 267 § 9.5.2").

A section you rewrite counts like one the agent rewrote: same sources, same rule.


Put in review, sign

The status selector at the top of the document has three positions:

  1. Brouillon (draft): being written.
  2. En revue (in review): to be read by a senior. The document appears under À valider (to validate) on the dossiers home page of the whole organisation.
  3. Signé (signed): validated, it no longer changes. Only an owner or an admin signs, from the application; an agent cannot. A signed document is neither written nor deleted any more; asking for a new one of the same kind opens another.

Signing does not remove the closing line: the document was prepared by an agent from the dossier, to be validated and signed by the responsible engineer. Stratta signs nothing.


Export

Exporter (export) at the top of the document, then:

  • Word (.docx). If your office deposited a report in the Library, the document comes out inside that report: header, logo, footer, styles, numbering, cover and table of contents kept, the chapters written in its heading styles. Without a deposited report, a plain Word in Heading 1 to 3, which your office styles itself. The downloaded file is kept for a quarter of an hour only.
  • Markdown (.md). The same text, with the "to establish" and "to review" marks in clear, so a search finds them.

A Word export weighs five requests on your quota.


When a source moves

A section knows what it rests on, and keeps note of it. When what it cites moves, it goes to review, with the reason written out:

  • a decision retaken or edited ("We retain 30°" replaced by a new decision);
  • a piece of evidence or a decision deleted from the dossier;
  • a new site survey that changes a cited fact;
  • a new edition of a norm that changes a cited clause.

A signed document does not move: what was signed is what was read.

Two gestures bring a section back: rewrite it (you, or the agent, which sees the reason in draft_deliverable), or Relue, je garde (reviewed, keep it) when the text still holds despite the change.


From your agent, in one conversation

draft the project basis for the Morges hall

The agent reads the project-basis procedure (yours, if your office wrote one), opens the document, writes each section from the decisions, the site facts and the clauses it read, and hands you the list of gaps. It does not paste the document into the conversation: it is on the dossier page.
