Task templates


New templates can be created for tasks, test tasks and model tasks. By selecting a template, all of the template's content is transferred to the new task. This role makes it easier to control the structure of tasks and it takes significantly less time to create recurring tasks.

A task template can be made available for you personally or for the entire project or selected teams and contact groups (option only available for project administrators and project coordinators). Further information on creating and using task templates can be found in the article Task templates.



Calls via Microsoft Teams


A contact can now be called directly via teams. To do this, click on Call (call via teams) for the corresponding contact.



Teams will then open. In Teams, the call can be started via Start call.



Email display in mobile app


New: emails can now also be opened in the mobile app and their attachments can be displayed / downloaded. In addition, the email can be downloaded as a ".msg" file via the lookout symbol and opened with a mail program on the smartphone.



Extended folder name


With the extended folder designation, long folder names can be divided into "Designation" and "Extended designation". The "Extended name" is displayed in brackets after the "Name" and is not included in the folder / file path. By using the "Extended label", long paths can be shortened and thus conflicts when opening files in local programs (Office, PDF) and when synchronizing with OneDrive can be avoided.
How to use the "Extended folder designation" is described in the following article: Extended folder designation



Optimizations and enhancements model viewer


Optimization of loading times and navigation performance
The time required to load models has been significantly reduced. Navigation in complex models is also smoother.

Extension floor plan navigation
The floor plan navigation provides more accurate and better floor plans to simplify navigation across the floor plans. As before, the view jumps to the corresponding location in the model by clicking on the floor plan.
Clicking on the floor title loads a 2D view in bird's eye view, which shows the floor plan in the model. By double-clicking on an object, you can switch directly to the corresponding location in the 3D view.



Extension 2D view
The orthogonal view has been replaced by a 2D view. The 2D view offers a simpler representation of the model and is particularly useful for views from the side and from above. This view can be combined with cuts to create profiles, for example. It is also possible to adopt a defined perspective via the navigation cube (e.g. A side view). As before, set Views can be saved so that they can be called up again at a later time by clicking on them.



You can find more information about the model viewer in the following article: Model viewer.

Foxit as PDF editor


The PDF software "Foxit" is now available for direct editing of PDF files. How PDF files can be opened and edited with Foxit or other programs is described in the following article: Edit PDF documents locally
