If you want to set up Office Locations to specify for Task Servers, there are a few places that needs to be set.

In the Clarity Web Portal

• Log into the Clarity web portal as an Admin
• On the Server tab, Offices, add the office locations.
• Once you assign an office to a project, it will increase the number of projects.
• Once you assign an Office Location to a task server, it will increase the number of Task Servers.

On the Task Servers

• Log onto the task server as the designated Clarity account
• Open the Clarity Task Tray
• On the

When setting up a Clarity task on a scheduled time, there are some things to keep in mind.

• Scheduled tasks are controlled by the Clarity Monitoring Service that runs on the host.

  • If the Monitoring service is not running, scheduled tasks will not run.

• Tasks must be set to Enabled ‘Yes’
• The time the tasks run is based on the equivalent time in the host timezone.
• If the task is set to ‘Only on Change’
  • Has the model date changed since the last time the task was run? (using the date as shown on the project homepage)
  • Has the task definition

Issue

You replaced a task server, but you can still see the old one on the Task Servers list

Cause

The task servers will drop off the last after Clarity hasn’t seen them for 21 days, unless there are still projects assigned to it.

You can force the removal as long as there are not projects assigned to the task server.

Solution

In the Clarity web portal, Task tab, Task Servers, select the task server to see if there are any projects assigned to it. 

If there are Projects assigned, you will need to go to each of the projects

If you are trying to update the software and are running into the following error message

Could not load file or assembly Ionic.zip, you will need to copy the file from another location to resolve the issue.

Resolution

Log onto the host as the Application Pool identity

Through File Explorer, browse to: C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Monitoring Service

Copy the "Ionic.Zip.dll" file to a network location that you can access from the task server. Copy that dll into the following folder on your task server: 

C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit Make sure it isn't blocked by right clicking and

Issue:

Error sending task diagnostics from the host when things are locked down due to security reasons.

If sending diagnostics normally works, then clearing the logs folder will likely resolve the issue and this configuration change is not needed.

Please refer to the following blog to clear the logs folder:  https://imaginit.helprace.com/i602-how-to-clear-the-task-server-logs-folder

 Process:

1. Log onto the task server as the designated Clarity account
2. Exit the Clarity task tray and stop the Clarity Windows task server service in Services
3. Zip the content of the logs folder (replace the highlighted value with your version of Clarity if different): C:\ProgramData\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server 2024\Logs
4. Delete

This change is Revit version specific!

If you are running into issues with the Revit DBExport task and want to skip certain categories, you can modify a config file to do that.

Process

This change is Revit version specific!

• You will need to log onto the task server as the designated Clarity account
• Exit the Clarity task tray
• Make a copy of the highlighted config file for the version of Revit you want to change C:\Program Files\IMAGINiT Technologies\Clarity Task Server for Revit\202#\Plugins\RevitDBExport.dll.config
• Change the extension from .config to .orig so we have a backup copy of the original settings
• Modify

In order for Clarity tasks to be processed on the Task Servers, the Task Servers must be logged in with the designated Clarity account at all times.

If the machine does automatic Windows update, we cannot automatically sign back in and this will cause tasks to time out until the task server is signed back in.

In addition to that, the Clarity Task tray must be running in order to process Revit tasks.

For Clarity Windows Task Server tasks, that service must be running.

The 360 Token for these tasks uses the credentials tied to the project in the Clarity

Want to see what’s updated in Clarity?

Clarity updates are issued as needed, rather than on a schedule, so you can check to see what is in each update in the links below.

Update Links 

Check your version(s) below for the latest notes and updates. Keeping up to date with the most current Clarity Version is always a good practice and may help prevent Task issues that may arise during your daily workflow.

2026.0

• https://s3.amazonaws.com/IMAGINiTSoftware/Updates/ClarityHost2026_History.txt
• https://s3.amazonaws.com/IMAGINiTSoftware/Updates/ClarityTask2026_History.txt

2025.1                                              

We recommend that the task servers be at least comparable to workstations used in production, if not stronger, especially if you are planning on running multiple sessions of Revit and or multiple logins (not typically recommended due to permission issues). 

When referring to the Revit System Requirements.

Do not go with anything lower than the Value, but Performance is recommended, or value with double the ram if you have large models with multiple links.

If you choose to use virtualization, be aware that graphic intense tasks will not perform as well without a physical graphics card.  Refer to the Virtualization section below.

If you have anti-virus installed on the task server, it can interfere with processing tasks.

This post is for task servers not installed on the host server.

Symptom

Clarity Task Tray disappearing or not running.  Lots of tasks fail with "The task has apparently died."

Anti Virus is removing the file or folders.

There is a way to place the task back into the queue if it opens in one session of Revit with an exception, so that it can be tried again.

If you prefer the task fail, the setting will need to be False.  If you want the task to be put back into the queue, the value should be True.

There is not currently a configuration for a number of attempts, so it will continue until it times out if set to True.

This change is on a per Revit version basis!

Process

• Log onto the task server as the

For certain types of tasks, addins are required.

We recommend only installing the addins needed for tasks. 

Some Autodesk addins install automatically with the software, but others are a separate install.  If they are not on this list, please do not install them as they may interfere with the Clarity software.

Please also be aware that some addins can cause ownership issues when processing tasks.

Additionally, some addins are build specific and may vary by Clarity version.  Please refer to the information below.

Revit Addins

Additionally, you will need to install the necessary add ins per version as needed for

In order to enable Clarity to access ACC projects, the account manager must specifically enable access at the Account level.

To enable access:

1. Sign into the ACC portal as an Account Admin:  https://acc.autodesk.com/
2. Select the Apps icon
3. Select the IMAGINiT Clarity app and Install

   2. We only need access to Document Management
4. The icon will change to look like the image below and will show as Active.
5. The published files should show up in Clarity after about 5 – 10 minutes.

  Note: The Clarity ACC integration relies on the Forge interface for Project/model information; therefore, the models do not exist

We'll share what we're thinking about the Roadmap for Clarity, and you can give us your ideas of what we should focus on.

Clarity 2025.1 Webinar

There are certain types of errors that will kill a Revit task.  Previously it was necessary to manually modify a config file.

In Clarity 2025, you can now just make the configuration changes in the Clarity task tray.

Make sure you log onto the task server as the designated Clarity account

Error Handling Overrides

• Open the Clarity task tray
• On the Revit tab

On the Revit tab, under Revit Error Handling Option, there are a few options, if you want to make selections you will want to set it to specified.

• None
  • No overrides
• Detached Only
  • This would only apply

Issue:

If you get an alert like this, that means that the Autodesk identity on the task server is no longer logged in.

ClarityRevitTaskServer: BIM360 Token Gone Bad TASKSERVER02

The Autodesk BIM360 Token on TASKSERVER02 has recently gone bad! 

This is the Revit/AutoCAD sign-in, which is used to keep Autodesk products running in a batch mode. Clarity tasks will attempt to continue, but will likely be impacted!

Issue

You are trying to test something manually in Revit on the task server, and the Task dialog is launching when you launch Revit, even though the Clarity Task Tray is exited.

Cause

When the Clarity Task Tray for Revit is running, it puts an addin in the addins folder while Revit launches to pick up a task, when we are done with the task, we try to delete it...if we are unable to delete it due to permissions issues generally, then that dialog will come up even though the task tray is not running.

Resolution

You need to make

Introduction

These prerequisites are required for all types of Clarity host.

This guide does not cover the full configuration and operation of the software – merely the host prerequisites.

Hardware/Operating System Requirements

Clarity requires a server-class Windows Server operating system to be the central web server. 

A dedicated server is highly recommended.  Whether you will be using Revit Server in your environment or not, the prerequisites are the same for Clarity, so the System requirements below should be referenced.

I highly recommend that you go with the Performance requirements, but no less than the Value for either circumstance of concurrent

If a task is stuck in the claimed status, the task server started opening the model, but something happened during that process that hung things up.  We aren’t able to kill it from the Clarity web portal, so you either have to wait for it to time out, or manually kill it on the task server.

If you are trying to get other tasks to run, you probably don’t want to wait for that to happen, so the resolution is to manually fix the issue on the task server.

Causes:

If we are waiting for a response in Revit while
