BIM 360 Docs: Issues - Assign multiple users

BIM 360 Docs: Issues - Assign multiple users

My idea is that you should be able to assign an issue to multiple users/roles/companies (in any combination of them)
Now, you can only select one individual, one role or one company.

For me this is necessary when an issue needs to be solved by 2 or more subcontractors

agreed super critical, issues can affect two disciplines or multiple draftees are on a project or both engineer and draftee need to be involved in reviewing. assigning company and roles doe not work with big projects.

yep need this.  maybe issues can be assigned to one person or company and then assign someone to "follow" the issue.  that way one person or company knows they are the ones responsible for resolving the issue and the person following is there to help or just "be in the know."

yes this is a must for any good project management software. it is causing issues on current projects now.

How is this not currently implemented?  You have an issue, multiple parties are involved in addressing it, that could be companies, roles or individuals.  That could execute either with teams working on the task concurrently (typical in design), or sequentially (typical in construction), perhaps even a mixture of both.  All if this should be available.

while autodesk fixes this - the work around is after creating the issue tag other members int he activity tab. hopefully autodesk fixes this

Hi to all. @johan.cantryn @ I agree with your proposal.

I also suggest that the best would be if there will be the possibility to address the issues to multiple users/roles/companies also choosing between:

TO -> issue directly addressed to someone, or more than one, who has the main responsibility to solve the problem, action required

CC -> issue addressed to someone, or more than one, who has to be informed that issue the was opened, but no action required

In this way you can spread in one time to multiple users, without having to mention them after opening the issue as it has to be done up to now.

It will be interesting if you're able to assign just to one person too, although many other people are with permission to create/view. In my case just one person will be responsible to the receive the requests and then redirect to the responsible disciplines. But when i click to assign the Issue to someone, everyone on the project is able to me to assign.

 

I think it's the opposite of this publication but it's my case... I think there's not a solution for that too.

This should have been a default feature available in the first place. Now customers are raising this issue and not yet implemented after more than 2 years?

Totally agree with this. Hope this gets implemented soon. Also, I hope that there is an added feature where you can link an issue to another issue. Because sometimes, an issue is a result of not having to solve the other issue (domino effect).

This is a must, I get this requested constantly and project members get quite disappointed when they are told such a basic thing cannot be done in BIM 360, so please, make it happen

Hello community,

this function should be really implemented soon, because it's a basic function and necessary. It would be perfect, if BIM360 will work on it.

The ability to assign multiple people to an issue is critical for this tool to be useful. This should be resolved asap. I need to be able to assign the issue to a CAD Designer, a Project Manager, and a vendor all in one issue for this tool to be really effective.

This function should have been there from the beginning! It can't be that hard to program. I see it more as a conceptual bug rather than a missing functionality. It's very hard to convince other firms to use IMS on BIM 360 if it even doesn't support the basic concepts. It's clear the develop managers are missing connection with the field. Just open a free account off Bimtrack or Bimcollab and you will notice immediately what to do to make it a bit mature. Please focus to get at least one mature planform instead 2 primitives!

I couldn't agree more with your statement @JensDeSmedt

DocumentManagementの指摘事項の「割り当て先」についてですが、プロジェクトの参加人数が多くなると、対象者は複数人になります。本項目は、「ユーザ/役割/会社」のいずれか1つとなっており、プロジェクトによっては、新たな役割を追加する必要が出てきます。なぜ、本項目が単一の項目となっているか、システム開発者の意図が知りたいです。また、正しい使用方法があるのであれば、教えて頂きたく思います。

@Anonymous: Can you please provide a statement regarding this critical issue (having multi-user assignee option). Are you going to implement this? Is this on the roadmap somewhere? I don't know what is more discomforting: the fact that we don't receive a reaction from your organization on this thread or the fact that none of your engineers came up with this simple idea in the first place. Meanwhile I, as BIM manager, have great difficulty convincing people in the office that we should implement BIM 360 workflows. When this issue surfaces I simply get laughed away and with good reason.

The tagging functionality would be helpful and go a long way in solving the issue if you actually would be able to see and filter on the tagged users in the issue list/table. Now the tagging only serves as a simple notification of the issue to the tagged person which then gets lost in the activity track. There is no possibility to actually see which users are tagged on which issues in a coherent comprehensive view such as the issue list/table. So a tagged user a week after the tagging happened has no way whatsoever to identify then on which issues he was tagged on.

Definitely required.

While an issue has a primary responsible discipline, there may be secondary discipline's impacted that also need to know.

Hello,

 

Really needed - please implement this option.
