We are storing documents on Google Drive. There is a web trigger that you can apply to ACC but if we could have a trigger that applies to google drive, that would be very beneficial.

I think it would be a good idea to increase the recommended size on your, spec list. Small firms maybe able to get away with 500MB drive, but 1TB is going to be a better long term solution for most firms. We out grew the 500MB drive in less than a year and with rack mounted task server this was a little more complicated that swapping in a new C drive. Its mostly due to the ACC docs folder and the collaboration cache, not the files generated by clarity. 

Allow us to change the default sort option on the projects main page to project number or any of the other sorting options. The current default is by name.

There is now a way in Clarity 2024, to configure an override when there is an error opening the model like the one shown below.

For Clarity 2025 refer to this blog:  https://imaginit.helprace.com/i659-clarity-2025-task-tray-configuration-for-error-overrides 

Error: One or more dimension references are or have become invalid.

This configuration change is done at your own risk and will apply to all models on this task server that have the configuration files modified.

WARNING

This modification will allow us to delete the dimension(s) so we can continue processing the task, this means that those elements will not show up in the model for that task. 

Seems like a bunch of bug fixes and given how buggy it is, we're just hoping it will help a little to be on the same version as our users. It's been out for nearly 2 months now and I imagine you've had some time to test, but if it's more problematic to upgrade than to stay at 16.4, we will wait.

Hello,

We are upgrading our physical local server and need to transfer the Clarity Host on current virtual server on the old physical hardware to the new physical server with the transferred or copied virtual server with the Clarity Host. What is the best way to do this? Would setting up a meeting with Imaginit support be helpful?

Any knowledge would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Windows path length limitations will come into play when the fully qualified file name exceeds 260 characters, or the directory name is greater than 248 characters.

The error will look like this in the AdminWebservice Log

TaskService - UploadFile(): Exception while uploading file System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Unable to create target folder on server! PathTooLongException ---> System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

There is a configuration change that can be made on the task servers (versions 22.1.11

As of Clarity 2023 we have had the ability to set the task server to perform the post action locally.  This applies to all post actions.  The one thing to be aware of is, depending on the type of post action and where it is processed, the identity can be different.

If you are unable to use the updater tool to automatically download and install the updates due to network restrictions, you can download them and run them manually.

DOWNLOADS

First you will need to download the following into a folder on the machine or on your network… For example C:\Clarity\Updates

Could there be a stand alone copy feature with the option to rename files?

Could you add parameters to show who created a task and who modified it last? 

When there are many tasks and sequences, and a task is being modified it is not obvious that it will affect a sequence or that it is part of one. Perhaps if tags were added to a task when it was added to a sequence.

It would be great if we could group tasks somehow. There are times when we have large projects and many disciplines involved with their own tasks, it makes it difficult to find tasks. Maybe add folders.

Due to a new project limit restriction on the 16.x versions of the Desktop Connector, we have added a new setting in the Clarity task tray, that will allow us to swap out the least used project, with a new one.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If the screen is left in a locked state, it is not possible for any UI Automation to run. This is a Microsoft limitation from a security perspective.  That means that in order for this to work and swap projects, the machine must remain unlocked.

This is just a small thing but I think it would improve the UX when setting up tasks. How about adding a Copy From Project button to the Setup Tasks page?

Background: We keep a template project with pre-configured tasks and task sequences. Users are encouraged to copy those tasks to their projects instead of setting them up on their own. When busy on the Setup Tasks page, it always breaks the immersion in the workflow when people have to switch to the Project Home page in order to copy more tasks to their project.

FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  1 File(s) attempted to Copy: 0 successful, 1 errors. Post Task Action/Delivery Failure it seems to be making a .zip file but it is unable to copy/move it to a target location

It would be great if clarity could pick up families in a model or file location and load them into selected models and sync. It would need to know if you wanted to overwrite or overwrite with parameter values and keep a log of any errors it dismisses as it loads in the families.
