Delete worksets on Revit Publish
It would be great to include an option to delete specific worksets when publishing a Revit file via Clarity. At the moment there is only an option to retain or remove ALL worksets, but there is a often a single workset we need to delete as part of our publish process - for example "Temporary Structure" in an Architectural file.

Task Template - Worksets
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.

Post action - E-mail Notification
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.

Purge selected categories
I need to purge periodically Revit design models, but I don't want to remove all unused elements. I need to keep many elements like tags, pipe types, duct types, etc. in the mechanical model, because they are defined in the model by the company standard. But I want to delete all Families which people load for Mechanical Equipment, Pipe Accessories, Duct accessories, etc. They contribute the most to the models file size.
It would be nice if and application "Purge Categories" can be created. There I could select the categories I want to purge from the project. In fact, this

The Data Sheet categories for instance should include Mass families.
The Data Sheet categories for instances should include Mass families. With so many room data sheet workflows, using addins to make blocks of Masses, this would be a good category to add. Egan Space Planning tool makes mass family blocks to hold room data information based on a spreadsheet of room size requirements.
There are a number of other similar workflows with Dynamo or other addins. The process is to move the blocks around to inform the design and then transfer the info into rooms. I'd love to see masses added to the categories so I can create data sheets

It would be great if we could assign the 'use project's office' for task server assignment in the project setup page.

Edit Tasks by ID web interface and Clarity.TaskUtility.exe
grant an option to edit Tasks in
If this cannot be done another option would be two steps with
1 . Add an Export tab to Excel the list of tasks with the ID from the Manage Tasks dialog in Clarity.TaskUtility.exe.
2 . add to the web interface Tasks - Task Setup "Edit by ID"
with the exported excel file sort the list by project or by task type the get the list of tasks you want to edit, then us the "Edit by ID" option to type in the id number

Add the ID column to Column Select
When looking a a tast list view please add the ID column. This is usefull for editing tasks with the task ID. Example, the url http://tmpvm-clarity/CentralAdministrator/ProjectTasks/EditTask/153 I can just change the number at the end to switch to the next task I want to edit.
I used the Clarity.TaskUtility.exe to find the sorted Task ID's and did a screen shot to create a list I can use to track what needs to be changed.

Have Clarity Client track RVT files not setup in Clarity
The 2019.1 Clarity Client can send open and sync time Metrics to the host without a user login on the client. Have the Client collect information on what models are not setup in Clarity and display the list on a Admin web page like "Models not setup in Clarity". read the projectinfo project name field to include to group the list by project. This way you can find a list of models that should be setup in Clarity.

Keyword [ ] Separators
we often need to use "[" and "]" characters in files names of PDFs, NWCs, RVTs, IFCs, etc, but currently seem to be unable to, as Clarity uses [ and ] as keyword separator characters. Can these be changed to something less likely to be used or an admin customisable set of characters at the host server level. eg keyword separator characters like { and } or < and > instead?

New Backup Task - Milestone submission
Create a New backup task the is run on demand that prompts for the milestone submission description that is added to the Zip file name with the current revision in the Revit project.
Right now we can create a dated zip file on a schedule in Clarity. Most times user create their own zip right after a milestone submission. It would be great to have Clarity do this so the process is done on every project for every milestone.
On way to do this is to add this feature to the Revit Clarity addin so it can pop up the

add Keywords to Task Template names and Copy Tasks from project
When using Task Templates use Keyword in the template name to automatically name the new assigned tasks in a project.
Same request when creating a new project from a template Project.
In the template project have tasks created with Keywords in the names. When the with tasks are copied have the keywords swapped out the the value of the keyword to automatically name the task.

Create a Naviswork NWC export task that creates a 3d View on open
When we get external models most of the time all the views have been removed. If not the we create a UpdateRevitModelFromDisk task to to that. We create views in our Revit Mech Model to export the Arch model that only shows that link to export to NWC. This takes more time by loading the Mech model first with the arch link.
It would be great to have an option for the Navisworks task to create a 3d View with no links loaded on the fly to then export it to nwc with a file name.
This way we would

Download BIM360 RVT file that was uploaded with a Docs license.
Right now Clarity cannot pull down a rvt file if the rvt file was uploaded into BIM360...it requires a model to be published with a BIM360 Design license.
