openCDE API:
Navigation | Optimized minimization of the display window
The display window of elements can now be minimized with a click outside the dialog. This enables faster and more intuitive navigation and optimizes the workflow.
You can find further information on window navigation in the following article: Window navigation.
Project settings | File naming conventions
With file naming conventions, files in the project can be named in a uniform and comprehensible way. They create a clear structure and enable the automatic review of file names. Compliance with the specifications is checked automatically. Deviations are detected and flagged by the system. This reduces manual corrections and creates a reliable basis for further processing. The file naming conventions can be defined by a project administrator in the Project settings.
Conventions can be defined project-wide for specific folders or file types. Configuration is carried out flexibly using modules such as free text, selection lists and fixed or variable number and text elements. Even complex requirements can be mapped using regular expressions. Further information on setting up file naming conventions can be found in the following article: Configuring file naming conventions.
After entering or adapting a convention or file name, the system automatically recognizes all affected files. Depending on the case, these are marked as "obsolete" or "invalid". This gives project participants a clear overview and allows them to filter specifically for these files.
The invalid file name can then be renamed in accordance with the convention.
For more information on the behavior of the file naming conventions in the documents, see the following article: Use of file naming conventions.
Messages | Summarized notifications
The new "Message & combined notification" option is now available in the Message Center. This allows notifications to be received in a bundle by email and as push notifications at 06:00 and 12:30.
The summary contains all unread messages that have not yet been opened at the time of sending and have not already been sent. This maintains an overview without having to notify each message individually. This setting can be used for the message types assignments, comments or reminders for tasks and session preparation.
You can find more information about the messages & notifications in the following article: Messages & notifications.
BIM | Model editing with Navisworks
With the Navisworks app, project content such as Model tasks, documents and other elements from buildagil can be displayed and edited in Navisworks. The model sections from the tasks can also be opened directly in Navisworks. This eliminates the need to manually search for the correct view and allows changes to be made to the model efficiently.
Models saved in buildagil can be opened directly from the document area in the Navisworks app. The App also provides access to personal homes, tasks, projects and favorites. The OneDrive synchronization can be used to save changed IFC and PDF files directly back into buildagil.
You can find further information on model editing with Navisworks in the following article: Model editing with Navisworks.
Meetings | Optimization of lists and inserts
New: lists and inserts from meetings can be sent to all participants. This enables flexible control of mailing and ensures that information is made available to the right recipients in a targeted manner.
As before, sending can be restricted to external participants via the options.
Further information on the lists and supplements can be found in the following article: Reworking the protocol.
Tasks & topics | Optimized layout customization when editing topics, information & decisions
The layout of the editing of topics, information & decisions has been revised and adapted to the display when creating new elements. This enables uniform and clearer operation.
The creation of comments has been optimized. It is now easier to select people when they are marked with "@". Selection via the keyboard has also been improved.
In the Mobile app, photos or videos can be added directly via the device camera in comments or in the details.
The selection and assignment of meetings has been simplified and made clearer.
A corresponding note is now displayed for inserts that are not visible to certain people in the topic.
In addition, the Visibility of the elements can now also be adjusted retrospectively.
You can find more information on the topics / conversations in the following article: Create & edit topics / conversation.
For more information on the information, please refer to the following article: Create & edit information.
Further information on the decisions can be found in the following article: Create & edit decisions.
