    Task Sequence Error Message

    ConnieGoznik · 0 · Posted

    It would be of huge benefit to us to have the Error message from children tasks populate through to the parent task sequence. This would help us tremendously when reviewing the logs after a very large run (approx. 2900 task sequences). At the moment we need to open each failed task sequence to review the error message or use SQL & Power BI to review a process than can take hours

    Upload location for custom task dlls

    ConnieGoznik · 0 · Posted

    Provide a place in the web interface for us to upload dll's for custom clarity tasks which are then distributed to task servers as required. Copying the files over to each individual task sever is a very tedious process which, when debugging, can add hours to custom task creation and testing.

    Possible functionality could also include:

    • A setting for WHEN this custom task should be "released" - so it can be scheduled at a time the task servers are likely to be idle
    • Locking this function down to "super admin" users to avoid errors
    • Task name override 
    • Task category override

    Only Change but with TEAMS!

    Lee Hammarback · 0 · Posted

    It'd be awesome to run the Unified Sync command when/if Teams gets updated instead of just at a specific time.  We keep having timing issues with outside clients where they will upload documents at different times of the day and we end up missing things.

    Show whether Desktop Connector is signed in

    Angelica · 0 · Posted

    It would be great if the Task Servers tab showed whether the Desktop Connector is running, signed in, or has no project selected. More often than not I find that the DC rebooted and has the pending dialog to select projects. This go unnoticed until someone logs into the task machine or notices B360 tasks not completing. The DC looks to be crashing or rebooting exponentially more on the task machines than for regular users.

    Thanks.

    Historic Task Metrics in Task Setup Page

    Holden Fleck · 0 · Posted

    For the sake of tracking the historic "health" in terms of Completion vs Error count or percentage, it would be great if this info could somehow be visualized within a Clarity project for each specific setup task.

    I could see it being helpful within the setup page of the task itself to see a count of how many times that task has completed or errored out.

    Separately, it would be cool also to have options for visualizing (pie chart, bar chart, etc...) which tasks in the project overall are succeeding or failing (maybe more important to see which one is

    Task Targets Edit Form Filter

    Derek Becher · 0 · Posted

    In the new task target menu can we get a search bar to filter down the list of available models. On large projects it can be hard to sort through all them.

    Model upgrader option : limit action to top folder, remove sub-folders models from beeing upgraded

    It would be very helpful to have an option to select only top folder without sub-folders for model upgrader task.

    Periodic Snapshot of Tasks Dashboard

    Holden Fleck · 0 · Posted

    For the purpose of high level task health monitoring it would be helpful to be able to set up an Alert or something similar that would send an email containing the task metrics for the last hour, day, etc... similar to the Dashboard page from the Tasks tab.

    If I could have Clarity email just me or certain admins a dashboard that shows task health for the last hour, it could help catch systemic issues with the server or task machines earlier, especially if Clarity maintenance is not in my scope of work in a given day or week.

    Add Ability to turn off Log Preview in the Task Queue Screen

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    While the short preview of running logs is sometimes very useful in the task screen:

    There are times when assessing a long queue that it would be very nice to have option to turn off the log previews to condense the list and make it easier to find the info i'm looking for. Would it be possible to toggle on/off the log preview?

    Quick Button to plot a Linked Model, But not open

    Hilary Williams · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    For Background, I know that when I open a model we can plot a linked model from the pyRevit plot command. But is there a way to automate this function through Clarity? We have the need to refer to another discipline sheets on the hub, and not everyone publishes their sheets like they should.

    We need a way to be able to quickly plot links to pdf while NOT opening the other firms model.

    On the ACC, I often only have View + Download permissions to other firms models. So, we can't open those links anyways.

    More control of failed tasks

    Hilary Williams · 0 · Posted

    Tasks that failed, I would like to Batch control what happens based on what they are. I would like to Batch re-start all of the Publish tasks. all of the Daily metrics, just batch delete and let them cycle back around for instance.

    Cloud model size - host only

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Currently the project home page show the model file size as summary size of the host model together with links.

    I think it would be more informative to see the host model size only. Or show both: host and full size?

    Select priority as Launchable Parameter

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    We sometimes have staff requesting ability to control priority of certain configured tasks. Not so much that it needs to be sent straight to the top of the list, sometimes they even want to delay the start, or push it to very low priority. We can currently do this by duplicating tasks with different priorities - could the priority be made a launchable parameter so user can select their requirement at launch time?

    Performance Advisor Results

    Ethan · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Results are exported as a ZIP file rather than the HTML contained within it; can the ZIP export be optional?

    Also, on the Model Metrics page, the Performance Advisor results are always cut-off when attempting to view them. Zooming out in the browser still justifies the results to the right so that when you hover over the metric indicator, the flyout information bubble is off-screen. To note, the webpage expands and you can technically scroll, but you'd have to move your cursor off the metric to scroll (causing the info bubble to disappear along with the scroll bar) or you'd

    Transfer Standards from a Cloud Model

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    When we have a BIM360/ACC project all the project related models are located in the Cloud and one of the models keeps the Standards which periodically should be transferred to other models.

    The current Clarity task template allows to select a local/network file only. it is inconvenient and takes time to download the model with Standards and then use it for processing the task.

    It would be great if we can use a cloud model as a source of Standards for transferring.

    AutoCAD read only

    Derek Becher · 1 · Last reply by Mandi Bishop

    Can we get an option added to all AutoCAD tasks that will allows up to open the DWGs in read only mode? I know not every AutoCAD command may work with this, but it would be helpful to have for tasks and scripts that will still function in read only files.

    Clarity Report Editing Tools

    Timothy Puccetti · 0 · Posted

    The Reports editing feature for Revit models has great time saving potential for updating multiple Revit models with new sheet information for each deliverable. After we edit the reports we use the 'Update Revit With Changes' task to implement our report updates.

    But we sorely need the ability to edit Clarity Reports for Revit with the similar basic 'database' editor features (like cop/ paste multiple) that you can use in Excel. For example when I edit a Sheet information report for our Revit models I may have dozens to hundreds of rows of data that use the same value. Currently

    Select Multiple in Task Queue

    Brooke Peterson · 1 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    It would be very useful to have a checkbox on each task in the queue - and have the ability to multi-select any number of tasks - then choose the action i want to apply. I frequently need to do the same thing to lots of tasks - like delete a bunch at a time, or promote a number to top of queue, that type of thing.

    Manual Claim Mode

    Brooke Peterson · 1 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    My workflow and admin tasks in clarity queues would benefit greatly from a 'Manual Claim' mode in the queue. We run 3 task servers, each with usually 3 or 4 instances of revit running, along with 3 or 4 windows tasks running along side on each TS - sometimes can be up around 15-20 individual tasks running, and they each may take up to 20-30 minutes to finish depending on the task style. To further complicate matters, the windows tasks are reliant on certain revit tasks being finished to move onto next stage in the process.  Add this to the often
