    Post action - E-mail Notification

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 4 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    Yes, a task has an option for e-mail notification. But I want to notify a specific person about a specific task result.

    Typically a project has tons of tasks, like printing PDFs, sending files, etc. And typically the user list for a project contains many person which are mostly designers who are responsible for such massive tasks. They all get notifications about tasks if that option is activated for tasks. 

    Let's say I have a specific task, i.e. "clash report" which result I want to send to a project manager. Currently I need to include the PM to users list.

    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.

    If the file was exported manually the following option would be chosen thus exporting the data,

    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    When I receive a Revit Build Change Notification I need to make a little investigation – who has the outdated Revit version.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

    Open IFC models and save as RVT

    Frank Bolha · 2 · Last reply by Doug Perry

    Would be nice to have a task for opening IFC models and saving as an RVT. This would come in handy for projects where architects are working in ArchiCAD or other applications outside of Revit where the native files for Revit would be IFC. Manually doing a conversion of IFC to RVT can take some time for users, so automation of this type of work will benefit projects where external parties are working in applications outside of Revit and we are using Revit. 

    This could be something along the lines of updating the Model Upgrader task to look for both

    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.

    Remove all XREF-ed images and PDFs from the DWG exports

    Yavor K. · 2 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Remove all (or embed)  XREF-ed images and PDFs from the DWG exports similar to ‘Remove PCP Output Files’ option.

    In our case we end up with tens of .jpeg and .pdf files because of the nature of some sheets we export from revit.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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

    Task Template - Worksets

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Please add the Worksets parameter for Task Templates. In most time they have two values ALL or NONE. For some of tasks there is no need to open Worksets, for example for the task Revit Database Export. For such tasks I use the NONE value, which significantly reduces processing time.

    When I assign such Task Template to a project I need to set the Worsets to NONE for the assigned projects. Too many clicks. It is a big disadvantage in comparison with copying tasks from one project to another.

    Copy Task Template

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    There are similar tasks, for example PDF output can be in black or colour, in separate files or in a single file. Also it is a good way to create a backup copy of a Task Template.

    It would be helpful if I can copy a Task Template (similar to a Task) and change just a couple of parameters.

    Publish Revit Model - full functionality for BIM360 files

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    The PRM task running against BIM360 files has limitations:

    • No link remapping
    • No cleanup

    I believe it can be done. Download BIM360 files to Artefacts folder and do all the things.

    Please elaborate the task for full functionality.

    Modify Tasks En Masse

    Holden Fleck · 2 · Last reply by Evgeny Kurbatov

    Wouldn't it be great to be able to modify tasks in groups?

    We have multiple tasks with the exact same settings and names across at least 150 projects. It would be very nice to be able to modify tasks by type, as opposed to just instance (to use Revit lingo). 

    Maybe there could be a "Tags" field for tasks? Then we could manage the primary task settings (the ones on top) by type, name, and/or tag.

    This would be a big time saver! To my knowledge, if I have to make a change to a task shared by many projects,

    On the all projects pages can you add additional columns "Project Creator" and "Task last run" ?

    Would like to be able to follow up with the prj creator and look at the task last run time, on all projects.
