we often need to use "[" and "]" characters in files names of PDFs, NWCs, RVTs, IFCs, etc, but currently seem to be unable to, as Clarity uses [ and ] as keyword separator characters. Can these be changed to something less likely to be used or an admin customisable set of characters at the host server level. eg keyword separator characters like { and } or < and > instead?

Would be great if we can decide the maximum Number of Revits we want for each project, due to not all of them have same size.

Cheers,

Francisco Gonzalez

In both the global Current Tasks and Project Current Task web page the list of fields does not include Task Type. Please add this to both.

Thanks

Add Current Model Size to project home page

Please add an "important note:" to the help file for "Room Image Update" that the view you use must have the rooms category visible in the view for this task to work.

As you begin to have projects that you want to migrate from older versions of Revit to BIM360, Clarity now (in 2019.1.6) has some updates that can help you with this process.

For example: 

- Need to upgrade from C4R/Revit 2018 to BIM360/Revit 2019? We can help with that!

- Migrate from one BIM360 hub/project to another

Using Clarity for the Migration Process

In most cases, these processes take several steps:

1. Getting the models out - either using the PublishRevitModel, or A360Download to pull files out of where they are currently residing, into a local UNC path on disk.

What is the Clarity Task Utility?

It is a Windows-based tool, installed with the Clarity Host software, which can do some batch updates on tasks and task definitions.

Where is It?

C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Tools\Clarity.TaskUtility

What Can It Do?

• Manage Current Tasks
  • Select the tasks in the grid, then for the selected tasks:
    • Kill Them (request that Revit be shutdown if it's working on them)
    • Delete them (remove them if Revit has not yet claimed them)
    • Reprioritize them to a new priority level
• Manage Task Definitions
  • Select the tasks in the grid, then for the selected tasks:
    • Batch Copy them to

The help search tool needs to be modified so it ignores searches for prepositions and possibly better phrase searching

The 2019.1 Clarity Client  can send open and sync time Metrics to the host without a user login on the client. Have the Client collect information on  what models are not setup in Clarity and display the list on a Admin web page like "Models not setup in Clarity". read the projectinfo project name field to include to group the list by project. This way you can find a list of models that should be setup in Clarity.

When looking a a tast list view please add the ID column. This is usefull for editing tasks with the task ID. Example, the url http://tmpvm-clarity/CentralAdministrator/ProjectTasks/EditTask/153 I can just change the number at the end to switch to the next task I want to edit.

I used the Clarity.TaskUtility.exe to find the sorted Task ID's and did a screen shot to create a list I can use to track what needs to be changed. 

Add a Launch project button to the home page.

For BIM 360 projects launch a browser to the project.

For Local file share projects launch an Explorer window to the unc path of the project.

grant an option to edit Tasks in 

If this cannot be done another option would be two steps with

1 . Add an Export tab to Excel the list of tasks with the ID from the Manage Tasks dialog in Clarity.TaskUtility.exe.

2 . add to the web interface Tasks - Task Setup  "Edit by ID"

with the exported excel file sort the list by project or by task type the get the list of tasks you want to edit, then us the "Edit by ID" option to type in the id number
