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 PublishRevitModel task is not creating the dynamic [Date] folder when running the Post Action Move.  The task is "completing with errors" in the fact that the model is being detached and saved to the Publish Folder location, but when it tries to move to the folder called 20190121 (based on [Date]), it fails because the folder does not exist. 

Does this task no longer function with dynamic folder creation?

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. 

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

The IFCAlternate task will not start scheduled. It works fine by manual run

I have a Task Sequence of a Dynamo script to update room names/numbers, followed by printing PDFs.  None of my task servers even see that the sequence is sitting in the queue.  I've tried running the Dynamo task by it's self, same scenario, task servers do not see it in the queue.  The PDF task on it's own runs fine. 

I'll send diagnostics from the task servers shortly.

I know in the Clarity web UI we can see the total time saved on the task servers page but this is a running total from when the system came online.   We can also see total time saved for each project on the project pages in the web.

Is there any way to filter time saved numbers by date or by project tags or by type of task?  Is this possible in the SQL management studio?

I have checked some of these projects and the tasks for model metrics and performance advisor are running fine on all of them but I see nothing for most of the projects through the model metrics summary card page.   This has been filtered for 2019 projects if that matters.   As you can see a few projects show data but most don't.

It would be great if we could assign the 'use project's office' for task server assignment in the project setup page.

What does archiving a project do in relationship to metric data?   We want to keep model metric information in the system but remove the projects from the all projects page as there is no more need to run tasks.   How does this work?

It does not seem like our global time saved stats are going up anymore, I believe they have been at the same value for over a day now.

All of our task servers are pointed to our folder that contains our dynamo script, this was working before we upgraded from 2019.0 to 2019.1. Now we don't seem them in the drop-down on the task setup page. Not sure what else to look for.

My Database export keeps failing. The task server won't claim the task. It evaluates it and just freezes. All other tasks execute just fine. Any ideas?

Ever since the last round of updates I am no longer able to create new projects or modify the post action of any task.

The error I'm getting when trying to create a new project is:

this could be due to the directory not existing or insufficient privileges for the Clarity account: IIS APPPOOL\ClarityWebAppPool

All of the current tasks are completing without errors, however if I try to modify the post action to move the PDF's (for example) to a new location i get the error:

Configuration - Error validating folder:

Even when I just click on an existing project

The Data Sheet categories for instances should include Mass families. With so many room data sheet workflows, using addins to make blocks of Masses, this would be a good category to add. Egan Space Planning tool makes mass family blocks to hold room data information based on a spreadsheet of room size requirements.

There are a number of other similar workflows with Dynamo or other addins. The process is to move the blocks around to inform the design and then transfer the info into rooms. I'd love to see masses added to the categories so I can create data sheets
