BIM 360 Field iPad: Adding Issues

BIM 360 Field iPad: Adding Issues

Steps:

STEP 1: There are several different ways to add issues from several different modules. This guide will cover the most common and recommended way.

STEP 2: Select the correct location of the issue by using the drop down menu in the top middle portion of the screen

STEP 3: Click on the "pins" setting to open the plan view of the selected location

STEP 4: Click the thumbtack "pin" in the lower left hand corner of the screen and touch the screen where the issue is located

STEP 5: Add relevant information to the issue including adding pictures, specifications, due date and assigning to the correct subcontractor

STEP 6: Ensure you include and double check the location, description, company and issue type at a minimum

STEP 7: If there is a common issue, check the issue templates or create your own

STEP 8: Synchronize to upload the issue to the data base for automatic notification to the subcontractors

Why this is important:

This is the most basic function of the tool which should be mastered to utilize the tool efficiently

The ability to document and notify an internal or subcontractor virtually instantly and automatically with the detailed information provided is something that would typically take 3 to 4 times longer compared to traditional methods

Do's:

Issues can also be added from the list view as well as photo view among several others

Don'ts:

Don't forget to make sure the location, description, company and issue types are entered correctly. Without this information correct, the issue may get lost
