    Organize tags in Project Home page based on Categories

    Alex Olmos · 1 · Last reply by Mandi Bishop

    Currently when tags are created by Clarity users, they are listed in alphabetical order and mixed along with the different categories. As more and more are added, it becomes a bit difficult to navigate on the All Projects page.

    Would it be possible to have the project tags displayed on the All Projects page based on the categories (Revit Version, Project Type, Office, New Project, Custom)? Basically displayed in the grouping that shows under Manage Tags?

    Also do we have the ability to customized the title of Tag Categories (such as Custom)? And add additional custom tag categories?

    Record Revit Clarity User Name

    Jeff Millett · 0 · Posted

    It would be useful for clarity communications through revit add-in to record user name. For instance name of person who records a Model Event" or name of person who accepts or rejects a change request.

    Show which task sequences a task is used in

    Andreas Dieckmann · 0 · Posted

    When in task edit mode, it would be great if the edit page included links to any task sequences the current task is assigned to. (In task sequences we can navigate to the tasks included in the sequences - why not the other way round as well?)

    Scheduled maintenance announcement

    Andreas Dieckmann · 2 · Last reply by Brooke Peterson

    It would  be great to have a mechanism for announcing scheduled maintenance on the host server. While we do inform users via Teams, people regularly miss these announcements. Waht I would like to see in Clarity:

    • Inputs for a message/announcement, a timespan for the maintenance window and a timespan for the announcement
    • The message announcement/message being displayed at the top of *all* pages (including the login screen) during the announcement period (we currently use the Appearance fields in the Settings menu for this).
    • Only admin logins possible during the maintenance period

    Task Queue Visible to All Users

    Jason Rostar · 0 · Posted

    It would be helpful to have a 'Current Tasks' view that would be available for ALL users of Clarity. Many of our staff are frustrated that when they launch a task, they have no idea if there are 100 tasks in front of them or if they are up next.

    User Role / Permissions Management

    Jason Rostar · 0 · Posted

    Currently Clarity has a limited number of user roles and within the roles, the access / permissions are fixed. When expanding Clarity to a larger number of users, it would be helpful to have different tiers of user access / permissions / notification settings / project task editing ability.

    User Delete Tasks

    Brooke Peterson · 0 · Posted

    A feature that I would love to see implemented is for individual standard users to be allowed to delete unclaimed tasks that they have created - without need to be elevated permissions to admin or co-ordinator We often get user accidentally launch a task - then reach out to admin to cancel the task. We understand they should slow down and be careful - but... Human nature... :-)

    If they can immediatley click cancel before the task is claimed it would be very helpful

    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

    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.

    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

    Autodesk Vault connect support

    Bruce Gunderson II · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    We have Autodesk Vault for Revit document control. We would like to connect to Vault Server and the files in Vault in order to run Tasks. It would be great to have a connect to Vault similar to Projectwise.

    Thanks,

    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.

    Transfer Standard - Overwrite

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    We have a project which is a building split by multiple partial Revit files. We need to have uniform View Templates through all the models. From time to time we transfer the view templates from one of the models to other models manually using the Overwrite option.

    Using the existing 'Transfer Project Standards' task we get duplicates:

     

    Sorry, it is not the way the task is expected working for us. We just want to overwrite existing view templates as shown on the picture above. Probably other Clarity users would need the 'New Only' option.

    Would it be possible to update

    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.

    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

    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?

    New Metric/ Alert - "User" links

    Jason Mounteer · 0 · Posted

    I've started to find a lot more "User" machine links than we'd prefer to see. I'd love a metric to keep track of this or other "unapproved" link locations, like old project folders or non-library locations. 

    Example screenshot attached.  These links should be saved in our library or in the ACC Desktop location. Not in C:\Users or via OneDrive at all. 

    Some metric/ alert to be able to search for a string in the "link location" you're already saving to the sql would be great.

    Select-DeSelect All Days in Task Schedule

    Mike Underwood · 0 · Posted

    It would be swell if there was a Select All and a De-Select All option for task schedule days. When you change from On Demand to Scheduled, all of the day checkboxes are activated. One example use-case:  If I need to create a bunch of tasks that run one day per week, I spend a bit of time un-checking check boxes.  Be nice to click a "Uncheck All" and then check the one day I need.

    See attached image.

    Add Revit Version Column to Task Tables

    Maya Mashiach · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    It would be useful to be able to see and filter our tasks (completed and current) by the Revit Version of the project being run. 

    This would allow us to gauge how many projects are running through each version of Revit in task load across projects.

    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?
