Welcome to another accelerate session.
Today we're going to talk about connecting
your team to review in real time.
My name is Samir Hawk.
We're going to go ahead and take
a look at how we can do this.
So we can take a quick look at how
review occurs in the digital world
as opposed to just pen and paper.
And why that's an important thing
we're going to take a look at a couple
of different ideas, such as the.
Issue resolution service will take a look at,
I twin review and some of our.
Project Wise 365 services for review.
So let's get started by taking a
look at reviewing in real time.
So review is an extremely important
process in the design world because.
Well, the design is not always correct
the first time an quite often.
Our designs need to be modified to
accommodate some changes or some
additional features that we wanted to put.
Into our designs so marking up
the design has been a traditional
thing for us to do by using?
A red pen or pencil.
And will mark up our piece of paper
and then we'll turn around and
hand that back to a draft or 2.
Pick up those red lines and this is
a very essential part of our design
process and we're looking at ways that
we can include things such as the cloud.
To help us connect people.
And allow People in the field
to identify issues.
Submit them through the cloud.
And allowed rafters in the
office to pick up those issues,
an resolve them.
So we'll take a look at some
of the things that we can do
through issue resolution service.
And you can sort of see what
that dialogues like over here,
there's a lot of interesting
things you can do with it.
So let's take a look and see what
we need in a review solution
of course review is best done.
Frequently during a project so encouraging
review is a very important thing.
So the first thing we want to
do is to be able to see what we
need to review so being able to.
Visualize what it is that has to be
reviewed is important so being able
to take a screenshot and do things
like that is extremely important.
You also want to be able to collect
and share feedback so that you can get
an idea of what has to be fixed so.
Um commenting session is very helpful
and keeping a string and history
of comments is also very important.
We also want to take a look at what
the approval process is to see.
Who has to pick up the red line?
When they have to pick it up by an
whether they've completed it or not so this.
Entire process of approving and tracking
changes is also a critical part of
what's needed in a review solution.
So one of the things that we've provided
for you in Microstation Connect Edition
is the issue resolution service.
The idea behind the issue resolution
services to replace the traditional markup
and redline workflows that you've had in.
VA Diane previous versions.
The idea here is to allow the engineers
to create issues on a given design.
And provide that feedback.
In a way that's trackable.
An accountable.
The idea of course,
is to be able to synchronize all of this so
that all of your attachments and comments.
Or, a visible to our.
Drafter.
And it's important also to sort
of see this in the context of
the design application in the
past what you had to do was.
We had a piece of paper
with some red lines on it.
And then you would have to know what
file that paper referred to then you have
to go seek out that file on your system?
And open it. Bring it up.
Make sure it's the right
file and the right version.
Um.
And then compare that to the red lines and
then start picking up individual red lines.
Carefully working your way through the paper
drawing to make sure that nothing was missed.
And that's a process that's error prone.
And quite onerous so.
Being able to view the issues
in the context of the design
makes life a lot better.
We also have the ability of adding
custom fields here, so that you can.
Control exactly what it is that the user
sees and with a drafter sees in terms
of things like subject in priority.
This is all connected through
our project wise projects.
Let's take a quick look and
see what that looks like.
So, your portal 2.
The issue resolution service can.
Be accessed through.
Connect.bentley.com. In addition to.
The application so we'll look at it
from both ways will look at it from.
The Web, And we'll look at
these issues from in the app.
So for example,
I'm looking at a project here,
you can see that it has a several
issues that need to be dealt with.
And simply going into one of these
allows us to see these issues
in a little bit more detail.
Now the issue resolution service on the
web gives us ability to take a look
at a variety of different statistics.
Based on the group that you're working in so
here I am looking at a set of issues from.
A group that we just simply
call the punch list.
So you can get a very quick idea of
what's outstanding inside of a project?
With regards to issues that are
assigned to a specific person.
So you can see that there's
different properties.
You can track here whether there are
issues in a variety of different.
Areas of your project we can
very quickly filled out.
Let's see who's filled out issues,
which ones are.
Open the longest days the
ones that are closed.
This dashboard is amazing because
it gives you such a quick.
A view of all of the issues that are
regarding this particular project.
You'll also see issues can be added here,
so you can go ahead and.
Take a look at the issues that
were created here.
And if you can keep track of all of
the issues as they've been generated.
You can follow them from there,
so using the connector bentley.com
is an excellent way for you to get.
Insight into your issues for your project.
Now going actually into the product itself.
You'll notice that once I go into a
connected Project Project Wise project.
That's connected through the web.
Through our connector Bentley com you'll
see that once you go into the analyze tab.
Or ribbon.
You'll find manage issues right here.
So once you select manage issues Prince
with the manage issues dialogue and the
manage issues dialogue is only available.
If you have a connector project so
very straightforward kind of idea here.
You can see that I can simply go
ahead and create a new issue.
Now, before I start doing any of this,
you know really you would
need to focus in on the.
Area of interest so it's important
that you find an area that you'd
like to create an issue for?
And you've got the right orientation,
the right. Screenshots,
I've got the exact screen that I'd like to
take a snapshot of and this is what I want.
My user to see when they come in
an exam in this issue, so step.
One is to make sure.
That you've zoomed in correctly
to the active window and then you
can go ahead and read the issue.
So you can manage the issue resolution
and all of your issues definitely through
the application as well as the portal so.
Let's take a quick look again at the
portal here and all the different type
of issues that are available to us here.
So here you can go ahead and categorise.
And create different types of issues
that are specific for review.
You can also add new groups create new forms.
For example, in your punch lists a lot
of these things are available to you
directly from the portal so the portal
is really a critical part of the.
The entire issue resolution service.
And managing your forms and and how all
of the issues are being tracked is critical.
By using the The forms and the Web
pages from connectbentley.com.
So.
Let's go back and take a look again
at what we're going to be doing here.
We're going to be using
the project wise project.
And the Workflow is relatively
straightforward you take your power platform.
Amp like Microstation or open roads designer
or any sort of I twin app that can create.
Punch list item.
And you want to be able to.
I think that with the issue
resolution service so this is going
to be done through the cloud.
Where we use our project wise project
and the issue resolution service
in the cloud those punch list items
are then synchronized with the?
Add in for the application so you can
see the issues in the application.
You can select the issue an allow
yourself to zoom to that issue.
So inside the design authoring application.
Then the engineer will over the
drafter will fix all of the issues
in the engineer will.
Go ahead and update make sure
that all of the items are correct
and then sync those back and.
Those sinks will then be reviewed by
someone to make sure that they've been
done correctly so the workflow is.
It's pretty straightforward it just
simply uses the cloud as the intermediate.
Way of transferring data instead
of a piece of paper.
So issue resolution services lots of
interesting things that we can do here.
Let's take a look and see that.
Go ahead and start filling out issues
in a design review application.
You can see you can pick up dates
and all sorts of different types
of fields can be quickly filled.
These can then be.
Checked in the Portal.
As you can see it shows up,
you can then go ahead and open
up that particular design file.
And. Examine the area where the
issue is being discussed so.
Here you can see that just making a
quick adjustment to some terrain.
And. There's are issues so we
can go ahead and open those up.
Look at the attachment. Add comments.
And there's an audit trail to see exactly
what was going on in the past as well.
You could then change the status.
Anne send that issue back.
Into the Issue resolution service,
where it's state will then update and change.
So the issue resolution service
provides us a kind of a full cycle,
enabling all of the aspects of.
Issue management.
From the web as well as from your app.
So one of the interesting things
you can do as well with the issue
resolution services to match it up with.
A custom form and the forms
management tools within the portal
are very helpful they do provide us,
the ability to get 2.
A variety of different aspects
that would be necessary.
To create The correct type of.
Issue so you'll find the forms
available directly in your portal.
This is the project portal
so this is our forms.
For this particular product for project.
So. From the forms here,
I can take a look at them,
but really what I'm after is
the creation of a form so.
I can go ahead and create a variety
of different types of forms here.
That will enable me to.
Describe what an capture what I want.
So forms management is a very interesting
and cool part of this, you'll see.
They have the ability to.
Edit them change the.
Values that you'd like to capture
change the variables that you're
looking for you can structure it anyway.
You want to so you can add
items to your list.
And, of course,
you have the ability to control
all the default values as well.
So if you need to have things put in
by default that can be done as well.
So I would not overlook the forms
management is a very critical part
of the issue resolution service to
make sure that you're capturing.
The correct information for your issues.
I'd like to stop for a second and think
about this in a little bit more deep
detail because and Issue resolution.
Is simply a list? It's a list of things,
it's a list of issues a list of
problems that need to be fixed.
But it's a list. If it's just a list
can't I use it for other things.
Yes, you can.
I would highly encourage you to take
a look at other places where you use
lists inside your workflows. And.
Replace those lists with the issue
resolution service so for example,
there may be a task list when
we create terrain.
For customer a Step 1,
two and 3 are what we need to do
so here are the steps for creating.
That particular object for
that particular client.
Or for that particular project so
quitting a job aid that tells us what
the processes to create something.
Is helpful with the issue resolution service?
It could be A to do list for a project?
When we start a project we use
this seed file.
Then we go at attach these
design libraries for levels.
So there may be A to do list to set up
a project or 2 publish a project or 2.
Create a sheet index or 2 do a
variety of other things that you can.
Certainly need to manage so also
workflows can also be managed
through lists and tasks as well.
So there's an enormous number of uses for?
Issue resolution service beyond just issues.
Please think about it as a list
resolution or a list service that.
YouTube create lists that are
accustomed to your particular needs.
There's a lot of all additional
features available to us through
the project wise 365 service.
The project was used by services are
available through the portal again,
so you'll go back to the portal an.
Yes, it's all. About the waffle.
In the waffle. Is something that?
We would like to.
To use And let's go back here to my.
Browser so there's the waffle.
Once you click on the waffle.
You'll see a variety of different
services available to you here.
Now, some of these services
actually have some.
Um. A little tag on it,
and that's an early access feature.
This is a beta feature that we're testing.
And we'd like you to try it out.
It's something that we Will be bringing to?
Commercial release at
some point but right now,
it's in testing mode anan available for you.
So, there, you can see,
there's the issue resolution service that
we just took out the took a look at.
There's a variety of different
forms that we also glanced at
there's the projectwise share
one of my favorite things about.
Um the project Wise 365
services so here you can see,
there's a variety of different
files that I can put into the share.
And share with my team members very similar.
To what you've Been used to with Google drive
or drop box or something similar like that.
There are many other services.
Available here, so for example,
you can see a lot of things that. Uh.
Coalesce around data so aggregation
and visualization an option earring.
This is wonderful if you're
doing some structural analysis.
Design validation this is amazing
so you can actually sort of say.
When I build a road I have a minimum.
Of a 8 foot wide shoulder so if you see
a shoulder that is 7 foot or 8 foot or
less like 6 feet or something then please.
Flag it.
This allows you to validate a design
file or a project with a set of rules.
And.
Gives you that extra level
of standard checking.
That's just simply not available through
just checking line line weights and
colors line styles so a much more.
Interesting way of.
Managing your data so other things
that we have here is you can
see our services for yourself,
there's our component center.
The ability to share your reality meshes
you can set up a service request.
You can go to the learn server and find out.
About.
A particular feature of Microstation,
you can also go to the communities and
go ahead and post and read stuff there,
you can get to docs here.
So you get the help and then depending
on your permissions in your organization
you may see additional features.
For example, in this particular case.
I do see the subscription services
that allows us to go ahead and.
Manage our entitlements software
downloads and things like that,
so that may not be available to
you if you're not an administrator.
Most of us will stick to this Top part here,
which is the project wise 365 services.
And these services are.
Really work are focused on.
Uh the user.
So.
Come back and check this There's
always something you hear there's
always something exciting so.
Please make sure that you check this we
do upload this every couple of weeks.
We do update it. Um that's one of
the beautiful things about the cloud.
The cloud allows you to do
rapid development cycles,
and when we finish.
With the new project,
we can quickly make it available to you.
You don't have to download things.
Do anything really just simply go to
connect.bentley.com connectbentley.com
at your one stop shop.
For everything. Regarding.
Communication an connecting with your team,
so. Just wanted to remind you project?
Why Cheryl lots of new features
available here as well in the share.
There's uh for example,
when I go and highlight a file
I can set it up for a sink.
So I can also lock it.
I can create a version.
I can rename it and do a
variety of other things.
If this, if this folder is
set up for projectwise sink.
There is the ability for
you to synchronize.
With with projectwise so going
to your hard drive,
you'll see that there's
a project wise share.
Option available to you through your
connection client to synchronize stuff here,
so for example, I can just drop
stuff into these folders here.
On in Windows Explorer and they'll
automatically show up here in the browser.
So projectwise share very powerful feature.
Enabling you to Share your Design
data or any other type of data
actually with your extended team
and you can synchronize that with.
Windows Explorer.
So. A lot of other interesting
things we can do here we can.
Use this portal to go ahead and also
switch out to a variety of different
projects once you've found those projects.
You can access the all of
the different aspects of it.
So for example, going in here, you can see,
there's a variety of different files that
I have associated with this project.
And these are all available to everybody.
You can also sort of see again that
sort of project why share there.
Providing us the ability to.
Drag and drop.
So actually is literally almost like.
Drag and drop here so it's just a
very simple way of managing so there,
you go Scrabble File Drop it into the.
Other location.
And it will synchronize with the.
Projectwise share.
So the synchronized can be set to a
timer you can do it manually by default,
it synchronizes every 5 minutes.
Or you can go ahead and force the sink.
To see. Your ship. So.
It is an? Very helpful feature.
I want to remind you again
with that new dashboard.
That's really awesome,
enabling you to go ahead
and split things out.
Anyway, you want to.
Also I wanted to quickly talk about
RI twin services, these are the.
Knew features that we have available for you,
these allow us to do design
review in a more extended form.
So if you're actually going to
be sharing out and doing things
in a in a larger sense that.
Design review is also very helpful
thing to bring a larger team
together so this may involve a
variety of other personas in your?
Project so people who are
reviewer's as well as people who are just
casual stakeholders who need to look.
And make sure that things are going well.
The I twin review services tie into
all the other things that we've
been talking about before so the.
Enable us to essentially do a couple of
different types of review so for example,
you want to just do some quick.
Review there's really no
focus in this particular area,
but you just gotta problem.
You need to get it resolved right away.
So you just do it in this year,
the quick review and look for an approval.
There is also a substantially more
coordinated methodology of doing
these type of reviews where there are
definite structures as you go through.
30. Sixty 90%,
perhaps then you want to take a
look at the variety of different
stakeholders who are contributing
to each one of those milestones.
And then build up that as a sequence in
a scenario that needs to be followed.
Um.
Alice wanted to show you a couple of
things that we're doing to help you
with regards to some of these reviews.
These are analytical tools.
Use analytics tools,
enable us to something new that we're
going to be bringing out enable us to manage.
And see all of the data in all of our issues.
All of the things that may be
associated with this product.
Project so with regards to Analytics.
You'll notice that we can see
different things like.
Time in models the different types
of software that might be to use
the types of property based tools
that are being used.
You could look at an Interop report.
As well as how you interoperate
with other applications.
Other usages other files you
can look at a command history.
Very helpful there your last 5 commands
that you used we can certainly
customize this anyway, you want to.
Look at the last cells,
you use that's really helpful one because
a lot of us are often reusing cells?
And we can keep on going here,
so whatever you'd like actually
some sort of keep a track of it.
An and essentially allow you to.
Get better insight into the way you
use Microstation as well as go back
and find your very commonly used tools.
Workspaces work sets and all
of the rest of that,
so this is another one of
our project wise 365.
Initiatives.
This is sort of Tide back as you can tell
that to the web and allowing us to sort of.
Understand and get a better idea
of what it is that you're doing.
So.
Text Art Project Wise 365 services.
In the end, thanks for attending.
Appreciate us if you'd like
to see Us Weekly comma,
the demo pods and check out all
of our features there. Thank you.
