Around the world, lots are used to divide large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. This approach is standard practice in international procurement, civil engineering, and commercial construction. With its packages, FORMA Data-Management offers a system for reflecting this reality. It organizes the data by assigning it to multiple packages, eliminating the need to repeatedly copy the same document into different folders. The data for these lots includes PDF, Word, and Excel documents, models, and, of course, floor plans. Which easily change after the contract has been signed in any project. Problem: Watchers are not automatically notified of these changes, even if the package status is set to “(current version).” Impact: An architect ( can't overwhelm all contractors with the same big data all the time. Information must be split and sorted and brought to the right contractor) So he must now manually notify the 30 different contractors in one project of every change in their lots(such as new versions, indexes, or other attributes) to the documents. Or they must delete the same drawings from the package and add them again, which takes a lot of time for each file. Solution: We need a notification system that informs watchers not only about the package attributes themselves but also about updates to the package’s contents. Dear Autodesk Team, please ensure that changes to the package’s contents automatically trigger a notification that informs about the actual change. @christoph.grossmann
