    PDF File Name Template - Empty Values

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    We have a REVIEW SET (list of sheets and views together) for PDF output.

    Typically we use the following file name template: [Sheet Number] - [Sheet Name].pdf

    Unfortunately it doesn't work well for views. The output file name for views is "--- - [Sheet Name].pdf". It is the same name for all the views. That results duplicated files which get deleted. It is expected, so I added another parameters to the template: [Sheet Number] - [Sheet Name][View Name].pdf

    The problem with duplicated file names is gone, but the resulting file names include the keywords [Sheet Name] and [View Name], surprisingly the

    Visualize the "When Tasks CANNOT Be Run" On a Task Server

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    Working with IT to set up routine restarts and SCCM update windows. We realized it's hard to visualize when a task server will/will not accept tasks. I think it might be useful to see this in the task timeline.

    Administrators select and run multiple tasks

    Sidney Griffin · 2 · Last reply by Sidney Griffin

    In 'Setup Tasks' window, my suggestion is to maintain focus on filtered list of tasks after selecting edit or run to support running many non-scheduled tasks easily. Alternatives are to allow a preselection of tasks to run (radio box > run all selected) or create the ability for administrators to string together already established tasks to run concurrently on group execution. We may want to run the same task on multiple projects periodically (not on a schedule).

    Navisworks conversion task

    When I run this tasks and it times out it still processes the post action task. It would be better to not process the post action tasks as it could be operating on an incomplete file or the old version.

    All emails from Clarity should be controllable and controls should be documented

    Ken Etter · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We had a user report that she was receiving "changed Revit build" notifications.  She did not want to receive those but the only way we could find to stop them was to stop all emails on her Clarity account.  Clarity needs to have a more granular and/or documented approach to email notifications so we know how to control the notifications.

    Make task server version upgrades happen through the server just like minor updates

    Ken Etter · 0 · Posted

    It would be great if task servers could pull their version upgrades from the Clarity server just like they do for minor updates!  This would be a nice time saver.

    Place the Check Engine Score line in the model metrics window

    Dan Warren · 0 · Posted

    Would it be possible to add line on the model metrics scatter plot?

    In the below I'm comparing score to warnings. And I can see the low and high for our warnings based on our firm standards. I think it might be helpful to see the check engine score line when viewing the model score metric.

    Journal files accessible from Clarity interface

    Steve Cardinal · 0 · Posted

    Typically the users responsible for tasks don't have access to the task servers themselves to review the journal files referenced by the failed task. It would be very helpful if the system could allow access to those journal files or place copies of them in a location that is accessible via the Clarity interface. Maybe something similar to how the host logs are accessible. It would go a long way in enabling these users to troubleshoot the failures themselves.

    Username for Revit Build Change Notification

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    When I receive a Revit Build Change Notification I need to make a little investigation – who has the outdated Revit version. I go to the Clarity > Files > Model name > Timeline. There I can see all the people synched the model. I try to understand who synchronized the model at the time when the message was sent. Sometimes a few syncs happen in short period of time, and I can make a mistake about the person. It would be nice to avoid all that hassle.

    Could you please add the username to the Revit Build Change Notification?

    Thank

    Navisworks Conversion Task - ability to embed database properties

    We have additional object data linked from a database in our federated Navisworks model however the data is not held when we run the Navisworks Conversion Task.

    Include the Median Hours in the Monthly Report

    Dan Warren · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    I think including the median hours saved in the monthly report would provide a little more context to the monthly report. Providing just the mean implies a symmetrical dataset which I can only assume is not exactly the case. I would guess it's not a perfect bell curve. So, if we could get the median it might provide a little more nuance to understanding where the "average" firm sits in the dataset.

    Task List Name filter

    Judy Coleman-Graves · 0 · Posted

    Tasks List Filter: I noticed when I type a word in the filter name list (for example PDF) and pick enter. The filter list does not show on the dash board. I need to pick one of the tasks and this is the only task that shows. How can I get the filter list to shown all named tasks with the word PDF when I pick enter?  Could you add this to a future version? I am using Chrome as my browser.

    Can the Project Re-scan frequency please be a configurable setting?

    Brooke Peterson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We would like the ability to set how often the projects scan for new files. Ideally this could even be configured on a 'Per project basis'.

    Usually the 30-60 min would not be a concern but we have a few projects with sequenced tasks that generate new files. Those files get picked up and modifed by a new task set to operate immeditely with sync to central (i.e. as soon as it arrives in project). This works, but we have to wait the 30 minutes or manually re-scan the project to do next step.

    More options for Task Sequence target override

    Brooke Peterson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We would like for there to be a way to specify additional options in the task sequence target.

    e.g. Task 1 & 2 use the main task sequence file target - but task 3 uses it's individual set target.

    We run seqence tasks that take a single file, update the file and the duplicate the file based on criteria. I would then like to continue the task sequence - but change the target to the newly created files.

    alternatively an option to sequence a task sequence? Sequence 1 includes sequence 2 and 3 for example? This would also solve the

    Project Co-ordinator Access Task Setting

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    I think a very useful feature for  The Task Options is to allow an additional level of control in the Access Required field of a Task setup: If this could be a dropdown that included Administrator/Project Coordinator/Standard User etc, that way we can better control which users can run each task.
