DEEPAK MAINI: One of the biggest requirements of a good issue
00:04
creation and management system is its ability
00:07
to close the loop.
00:09
Now, when I say close the loop, what I mean
00:11
is, the fact that we were able to action
00:15
the issues in the last objective.
00:17
Now, a good issue management system
00:19
will then let us review whether those actions actually
00:22
resolve the issues or not.
00:24
And if they have, then we are able to close the issues.
00:29
So that's what we are going to do in this objective.
00:31
We are going to review resolve clashes,
00:33
and then we are going to update the issues.
00:40
Now, if you remember in the last objective,
00:42
once we moved the elements in Revit,
00:45
we actually changed the status of the issues to answered.
00:48
When that was done, the member who initiated those issues
00:52
was notified in an email that there was
00:55
a change in the issues status.
00:57
And from there on, that member can then
00:60
review those assigned clashes in the motor coordination module.
01:04
And if those clashes are resolved,
01:07
they can then change the status of those issues
01:09
to closed, which is what I mean by closing the loop.
01:13
So let's take a look at this workflow.
01:16
As you can see, I'm in the clashes tab, assigned sub-tab,
01:21
and I can see the status of these issues changed
01:24
to answered.
01:25
Now, before I click on these issues,
01:28
it is important to have a look at the top right of this window
01:31
and ensure that the last clash check was done
01:35
after the packages were shared.
01:38
Because if this was done before the packages were shared,
01:41
then obviously, you will not see the clashes resolved.
01:45
So I can now go ahead and click on the title of Issue ID number
01:49
two.
01:50
Because I clicked on that issue in the model coordination
01:53
module, it now opens it in the context
01:56
of both the models, which means we
01:59
can see all the elements that were
02:00
clashing in the original issue.
02:04
And you can see here that the clashing elements are no more
02:08
displayed in clash colors.
02:10
Remember those red and green colors?
02:12
These elements are no more displayed in those clashing
02:15
colors, which is a visual clue telling us that the clash has
02:19
been resolved.
02:21
You can also visually check to make sure
02:23
that there's clearance between these elements.
02:28
So in this case, I'm actually satisfied that the clashes have
02:31
been resolved, and now I can go and change
02:33
the status of this issue from answered to closed.
02:38
For that, I'll click on this answered dropdown list.
02:41
I'm going to change this to closed.
02:44
I write the description here.
02:49
I'll click Done.
02:51
And now the status of this issue is changed to closed.
02:56
And I can now repeat the same thing for the other
02:58
to answer the issues as well.
02:60
If I click on this issue now--
03:03
again, these elements are no more
03:04
displayed in clashing colors, And I can change
03:08
the status of this as well.
03:12
As I'm changing the status of this issue,
03:15
the user who changed the original status from open
03:18
to answered is also notified in an email
03:21
that I've changed the status to closed, meaning
03:24
I'm happy with the resolution.
03:26
And lastly, for the third issue, which was issue number four,
03:30
we can do the same thing.
03:34
And as I mentioned earlier, the user
03:36
who changed the status of this issue from open to answered
03:39
is also notified in an email that this issue is now closed,
03:44
which again, is an important part of a good resolution
03:47
process that it keeps everybody in the loop.
03:52
Once we have changed the statuses of these three issues,
03:55
if I go back to the assigned sub-tab,
03:58
I can see the status of these issues changed to closed here.
04:03
So this is the fantastic workflow
04:05
with this model coordination module
04:08
where we can use clashes to create issues.
04:11
We can assign those issues to the individuals
04:13
who need to take actions to resolve them.
04:16
Those individuals can then change the status
04:19
of those issues after taking the action, which
04:22
means that I am then notified that the issues have
04:25
been answered.
04:26
And from there on, I can then review whether those issues
04:29
have been resolved or not.
04:31
And if they are, I can change their status to closed.
04:34
This is where the BIM 360 Model Coordination module combined
04:38
with BIM 360 Document Management module
04:41
creates this really cool issue creation and management process
04:46
that lets you close the loop.
04:49
That's the end of this course.
04:50
I hope you enjoyed it.
04:52
Make sure you try this process with a few other clashing
04:56
elements and then see how you go.
04:58
Have fun.
04:59
Cheers.
