    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

    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

    common task target fIlterable

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    Hi Guys, I'm wondering if the team is considering to expand on the common task target settings, to allow the target selection to be filterable like in the existing target selection task setup:

    Thanks!

    Send email on Autodesk Authentication expiry

    Micah Gray · 0 · Posted

    This token likes to expire on Clarity Cloud. Apparently this does not occur on Clarity On-Prem. There is currently no way for us to know that it has expired. Our rep from ImaginIT sends me an email and tells me to go reauthenticate.

    Proposed Solution: Send email to Company Administrator to go reauthenticate when this expires.

    Banner showing users role in project

    Angelica · 0 · Posted

    When a user is in a project on the web portal, it might be useful for a banner showing the users assigned role. This could be easily overlooked by someone that is an admin and well acquainted. But for regular users and new users, they might not understand why they see what they see per project.

    ACC upload split into multiple tasks

    Derek Becher · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    When uploading a large number of folders to ACC Clarity hits a quota limit. When uploading 1600 folder it took 9 hours and timed out. I split the uploading into multiple task each around 400 folders. This worked and only took around 2-3 hours to complete. Could we get an option to have clarity automatically split ACC uploads into multiple tasks?

    Exclude Certain Elements when purging using Revit Audit and Compact

    MICAH HARMAN · 2 · Last reply by Jeffrey M Bayer

    Would it be possible to add an option to preserve cetin elements (so they don't get purged) when purging through the Revit audit and compact task. Sometimes there are unused elements that need to be kept and it would be nice to be able to isolate these and keep them from being purged.

    Email a group email to all members of project.

    Angelica · 1 · Last reply by Derek Becher

    It would be helpful for those instances that you need to communicate to the team at once. Perhaps the email to group could be on the Manage Users screen.

    Visibility on Server Availability During Task Creation

    Liam Cummings · 0 · Posted

    Providing a heat map for server availability and peak times would help us balance our task load across servers more effectively. If this information was available at the point of task creation, admins could select the times when they knew their tasks were most likely to succeed. The heat map should be viewable as daily or weekly based on all currently scheduled tasks on the network.

    Add Model Metrics for # of Models Linked by Internal & <Not Shared>

    Liam Cummings · 1 · Last reply by Mike Underwood

    If we had a Model Metric for the number of models linked by Internal and another for those linked by <Not Shared>, we could use the Task to check how many models could be affected by updates to Shared Coordinates and which ones need to be adjusted before making updates.

    REST API: Optional UserExternalId parameter when creating a task

    We use the /REST/Task/{id} POST operation for creating "child" tasks from other tasks. These tasks show as having been created by the Clarity Administrator user. It would be great if that operation had an additional (optional) parameter to specify an actual user so that this user would get notified once the generated task is done.

    REST API support for metrics management

    Andreas Dieckmann · 0 · Posted

    It would be great to have API support for the process of merging metrics. That would of course include retrieving lists of models that metrics are currently being stored for.

    Change wording of missing task server emails for paused task servers

    Would it be possible to send a different kind of notification mail if a task server was merely paused, e.g. "... has been paused for ... hours"? Typically pausing a task server happens for a reason whereas a missing task server would require a fairly immediate reaction.

    Allow the user to click on one of the bars in the chart to display list of all the tasks that ran at that time. Allow that list to be exported to csv or excel.

    New Navis Export setting for Revit

    Derek Becher · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    There are two Navis export setting that have been added to Revit recently, that would be beneficial to us. We would like to be able to control these from the clarity task instead of having to set them on each task pc for each version of Revit. 

    The setting are "Separate Custom Properties" and "Strict Sectioning". See attached image.

    Move a claimed task to new server

    Derek Becher · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Once a task get claimed but has not started processing is there any way for the host to periodically check and see if another server has become available and move that claimed task to the free server? We sometimes see a task sit in the claimed status for a long time waiting for a particularly long task to finish, but one or two other server are sitting idle.

    stp export

    Derek Becher · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Revit 2025 now has the ability to export .step/.stp files. Can this added to the list of export tasks? We get requests to export parts of our Revit models to step files frequently.

    Feature Request: "Run Script" Task

    Paul Patterson · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We are finding immense value in the basic "Run a Script" post action. However, we achieve so in a round about way by using the FileCopy task to do something meaningless, and then feed a script into the post task action to get the real work done. 

    It would be valuable to have a basic "Run Script" task

    Enhanced workset filter

    Felix Seguin · 0 · Posted

    We can save a lot of time on tasks by filtering unneeded workset. That's why there is a filtering workset option on most tasks (if not every). Would it be possible to add a "preview" of the results (open or closed) of our filters? Just like the preview (test filter button) you have on the advanced file filter for projects.

    Because right now we have to set the filters, run the task and wait for the it to end, assess the results and loop this process on every adjustment. Most of our coordinators don't take the time for this process
