BIM 360 Field iPad: Filtering/Sorting Issues

Steps:

STEP 1: Open the issues module

STEP 2: Filters are available within the "locations," "all," or "pins" view by touching "Filters." "Sort" or filter icon depending on which view you are in

STEP 3: Touch the filter icon and select the items to include or exclude from your search

STEP 4: Select off the filter or sort screen to apply the changes

STEP 5: Clear filters after use to ensure you are viewing all issues

Why this is important:

Finding an issue in the database quickly is a good skill to have so that it’s information can be adjusted quickly and kept as up to date as possible

If you are walking with a subcontractor or in a certain room, you don’t want to be seeing issues that are in other areas, you only want to see the relevant ones. Using the filter and sort function will help you open the most important ones and sort them accordingly.

Dos:

Do get familiar with the filter and sorting capabilities

Show your subcontractors how they can filter and sort their own issues

Don’t:

Don’t forget to clear your filters and sorting when you move out of an area so that your screen shows all the open items available and not just the filtered or sorted ones
