Building Digitisation Solutions for property owners and their builders

BDS360 is the quick and easy way to upload all your O&Ms to one place that is easily accessible to everyone, delivering the right information on time, every time.

Here's how to get your data in the cloud.

New feature - bulk uploading

We're excited to launch the ability to upload multiple files at once, potentially saving you massive amounts of time.

Documents can be any of the usual formats - PDF, DWG, RIV, DOC, XLS and more - and you can upload a variety of file formats simultaneaously... just drag them from a directly on your hard drive, USB stick, network volume or wherever they reside.

Once you have received your username and password simply log on at bds360.com.au

Enter your user credentials (username and password)...

Important

Always use the BDS360 platform back button - not the back button of your browser - when navigating through the system. This ensures data is added correctly and automatically saves the document each time you go up and down through the levels.

Once you have entered your user credentials you will be directed to your dashboard. Click (or tap) the relevant site to add documents to that project, in this example "Melbourne".

Go to the relevant building by clicking the relevant building. In this example "Melbourne Hospital".

Click the trade package you want to add documents to, in this example "Mechanical Services".

Find the relevant section - in this example "Energy Recovery A/C Units" - and click the view button.

Find the relevant subsection - in this example "System Schematic Drawings" - and, once again, click the view button.

The following steps show how to upload single documents at a time. Our new bulk upload feature saves time by allowing you to upload multiple documents in multiple formats simultaneaously.

Click the "Add New" button to upload files from your computer to BDS360.

Three key tips

  1. Zipped files cannot be upload to BDS360. Please unzip them and upload each file separately
  2. Files in an email will not upload to BDS360. Please save the files to your computer first.
  3. Files names containing these characters - & $ # @ ! ^ * ( ) , - will not upload to BDS360. Remove any of these characters, replacing them with suitable alternatives using standard characters - a‑z, A‑Z, 1‑9 or hyphens and underscores.

You can drag and drop your files from where they are stored - usually your “C:” drive, USB memory stick, file server or an external hard drive - to the large, dark grey rectangle (with the big target ). Alternatively you can click the "Upload file" button and navigate your way to wherever the relevant file is located on your local system.

Once your file has finished uploading (this may take a while depending on the file size and your upload speed), click the drop-down box “Type” and tag the type of document you are adding.

Here is an easy hack to change your alpha-numeric filename to a filename facility managers want. Just copy the text with your mouse in the preview screen and paste the text into the "Preferred filename" field. Simple!

Congratulations! Your document is now uploaded to BDS360.

New bulk uploading feature

We're excited to launch the ability to upload multiple files at once, potentially saving you massive amounts of time.

Documents can be any of the usual formats - PDF, DWG, RIV, DOC, XLS and more - and you can upload a variety of file formats simultaneaously... just drag them from a directly on your hard drive, USB stick, network volume or wherever they reside.

Just select - or "blue them out" - on your computer by "shift-clicking" a range of files or "alt-click" to select non-contiguous files. Then drag them to the "drop zone" on the files page.

These files may take several seconds (or even a few minutes for large files) to upload, depending on your internet speed. For best results we recommend you let your computer finish uploading the files before moving onto to something else on your computer.

With our bulk uploading feature, now you can go and grab yourself a coffee while your files upload!
