We are extensively using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) across multiple large-scale construction projects for complete document and workflow management. While ACC provides a strong foundation, we have observed critical gaps in document tracking and reporting capabilities that significantly impact efficiency, especially when managing multiple projects. Current Challenges: Lack of visibility for documents linked to Reviews: In Insight Builder or Reports, there is currently no option to view which documents are associated with a particular Review workflow. While the Review workflow name is visible, the associated document names, their metadata, and related details are not available. Inability to track all uploaded documents effectively: Many documents in ACC are uploaded “for information” and are not part of a Review workflow but are still part of the master deliverables list. There is no built-in report to see all documents uploaded to a folder, who uploaded them, and when — without manually downloading and analyzing file logs. For organizations managing 10+ active projects, this manual process becomes impractical. No direct provision for expiry or validity tracking: In construction, many documents (e.g., permits, certificates, warranties) have expiry dates. Currently, there is no native feature to track documents due to expire in the coming week or month. Limited use of custom attributes for reporting: While custom attributes can be created for documents, there is no simple, dynamic reporting option in Insight Builder to filter and track based on these attributes. Recommended Enhancements (Drawn from Industry Best Practices): Document-to-Review Mapping in Insights: Ability to display all documents linked to a review, along with document name, revision/version, upload date, uploader, and custom attributes. Universal Document Tracking Reports: One-click access to a full register of all documents in a project (including those outside workflows), with filtering by uploader, date, folder, or custom attributes. Expiry & Renewal Alerts: A dashboard widget or report that shows documents nearing expiry within a user-defined time range (e.g., next 7, 15, or 30 days). Custom Attribute-Based Insights: Ability to create dynamic dashboards using document-level custom attributes, including multi-project reports. Reason for Importance: When documents and their metadata already exist in ACC but cannot be effectively tracked or reported, it undermines the purpose of a Document Management System. Construction projects rely heavily on timely access to accurate document status — missing this can delay reviews, cause compliance issues, or lead to duplication of effort. We request your consideration to prioritize these enhancements so that ACC can match (and exceed) the capabilities of other advanced document management platforms in the construction industry.
