Automatic Audit Scheduling for Revit Models in ACC / BIM 360

[yuki.scharf]

Description:
This could be considered a feature for both Revit and ACC/BIM 360 so I decided to post in both forums. Since ACC/BIM 360 currently does not have an automatic audit function, we would like the ability to automatically run audits by setting a day of the week and time—similar to a publish schedule—for models that are collaborated in ACC/BIM 360.

Current Situation:
Because audits can only be run when opening a project file, modelers experience waiting time when they start work in the morning.
In projects where multiple people are working simultaneously, one person must complete the audit and synchronize the model before others are able to open the file.

Request:
We would like audits to run automatically by setting a day of the week and time, similar to the publish schedule feature in ACC/BIM 360.

Optional:
Also, although this feature does not currently exist in Revit, it would be preferable for audits to generate warnings and reports when errors are detected during the audit process.

Proposed Implementation:
Allow audit schedules to be set for files within the Team folder, in the same way that publish schedules are configured in BIM 360.

BIM360の機能とも言えますが、BIM360にコラボレートしたモデルをパブリッシュスケジュール設定のように曜日と時間を設定して監査を自動的に実行できるようにしてほしい。

I'm personally on team "the model should automatically be audited as part of every 'open' operation", but I like this as a nice balance.

IMO, "always audit when opening" may actually create less server load for Autodesk, because you don't have scheduled audits on inactive projects...

@ks2_wmb, that is not a valid argument because Model sharing also recognizes when a model doesn't have any change and does not share/publish a new iqual version (witch sometimes could be nice when one would like to override a publish with links for one without links).

As such, I do prefer the idea sugested here over the always on open.
