INSTRUCTOR: Hey, guys.
00:02
Welcome back.
00:03
This is the second objective of this course
00:05
and in this objective, we are going
00:06
to learn how to create issues using BIM 360 Mobile App.
00:12
While creating issues using BIM 360 mobile app,
00:15
you'll have to fill in a bit of information about the issue
00:18
but there are two main things that I
00:20
want to make sure that you always mention in your issues.
00:23
They are the type of issues and also
00:26
the root cause of the issues.
00:28
And that's because when you look at these issues on your PC,
00:31
you can go to the project homepage
00:33
and you can display these cards where
00:35
you could have the project issues sorted by type.
00:39
You can also add the Issue Root Cause
00:41
card where you could display the issues by their root causes.
00:45
And if you do not add the root cause
00:47
it would be hard to figure out what are the main problems that
00:50
causes those issues.
00:52
So make sure you always add root causes to the issues.
00:55
Let's now jump onto the BIM 360 mobile app
00:57
and take a look at the process of creating issues.
01:01
All right, as you can see I'm in my BIM 360 mobile app.
01:05
I've currently got this 3D view opened.
01:08
Now if I tap on the Menu button on the top right,
01:11
this model has a number of views and sheets
01:13
so if I tap on Sheets and Views, I
01:16
could go to any of these sheets or views
01:17
and I can add issues in those views or sheets.
01:21
Now if this 3D view had some issues already created,
01:24
when I tap on the Menu button it shows me
01:27
that there are three issues created here.
01:29
If I tap on Issues, notice that it's
01:32
telling me that there are only two issues not three.
01:35
That's because we have got filters turned on.
01:37
If I tap on Filters, it's currently
01:40
showing me the status of only the unresolved issues.
01:43
If I tap on Status, I could go and say also include
01:46
any closed or void issues.
01:48
So apparently there's a void issue
01:50
that was not shown by default. And now
01:53
that's the void issue here, hence it was showing 3 issues.
01:57
Now, I want to create an issue from scratch
01:60
so I'll navigate to the area where
02:01
I need to create the issue, let's say in this area here.
02:07
And now, to create an issue, I'll tap on the Issue option
02:10
on the bottom toolbar.
02:12
Now it's Tap to place a new issue,
02:15
so it's like placing a pin.
02:17
I'm going to place a pin on this item here.
02:21
It's a New Issue and as you could see the type
02:24
is set to Design Building Code.
02:26
If I tap on Design, I could change it
02:28
to a different type of issue.
02:31
In my case, I want to leave it as a building code issue.
02:34
Title, I'm going to add a title here too close to the lighting
02:38
fixture.
02:41
I can add a description here as well, doesn't meet the building
02:44
specs.
02:47
Now when it comes to Assigned to,
02:48
I'm going to tap on Assign to, it
02:50
shows me all the members of this project.
02:52
I'm going to assign it to this user here.
02:56
If the project had some location information defined,
02:58
I could also tap on Location and define the information.
03:01
This project doesn't so I'm going to leave that.
03:04
Under the Location Details, I can add a location detail here,
03:07
let's say room 112.
03:11
Then I need to define a due date, so I'll tap on Due Date
03:15
and I'll say this needs to be fixed by next week.
03:19
I'm the owner of this issue and this is
03:21
where we can find a root cause.
03:23
As I mentioned, I'm a big fan of defining root causes,
03:26
so I'll tap on Root Cause and I say this is a code compliance
03:29
issue.
03:30
Now because I'm on site, I can also tap on this Camera button
03:34
and I can take a photograph.
03:37
So this is where I want to take the photograph here.
03:39
I'll tap on the Camera button and I'll tap Done.
03:44
So that's now the photograph taken
03:45
and I can attach this to the issue.
03:48
Once I'm happy with this, I'll tap on Create on the top right
03:53
and that's the issue created.
03:54
Now the best part of issues in BIM 360
03:57
is as soon as I create an issue and I assign it to someone,
04:01
they get an email notification straight away
04:04
that there's an issue that they need to action.
04:06
How cool is that?
04:09
Now because there's an issue that I just
04:10
created in this view, this pin here
04:13
shows that there's an active issue.
04:15
We also have a gray pin here that
04:17
shows me that there's a void issue because the issue
04:20
status have color codes assigned to them.
04:23
So if I tap on the Menu button on the top right,
04:25
and if I tap on Issues, as you could see there's a void issue.
04:31
You can also tap on this eye icon on the top right
04:35
and then you can specify whether or not
04:37
you want to display the issue pins on the view.
04:39
If I turn it off, as you can see,
04:41
the issue pins are no more displayed.
04:44
Similarly, I can go and add additional issues
04:46
in different views and sheets.
04:48
Let me go on to a
04:51
going to tap on the Ground Floor HVAC Plan Sheet,
04:56
and I'm going to navigate to this area here.
05:00
Now, similar to the 3D view, on this 2D sheet also
05:03
I can create issues.
05:04
So I'll type on Issue, I'll tap to place the pin,
05:10
and now I can define what type of issue it is.
05:12
This one is not a building code issue,
05:14
it's a coordination issue so I'll type on Coordination--
05:19
clashing with the rafter.
05:23
I can add a description here.
05:25
This is clashing with the rafter.
05:28
Similarly, I can go and assign it
05:29
to the user who needs to fix this.
05:31
In this case, I'm going to pick this user again,
05:35
due date is again next week, and the root
05:40
cause I'm going to make sure that I specify the root cause,
05:42
so it's a design coordination issue.
05:46
With this, I'm going to tap on Create,
05:48
and it creates this issue on the 2D view.
05:51
Similarly, you could go to other views and sheets
05:53
to create the issues.
05:55
Let me now cross out of this model.
05:59
Now once you have got issues created in your project,
06:02
when you tap on Issues on the bottom toolbar
06:05
it now shows you all the available issues
06:07
in this current project.
06:09
You can tap on any of these issues here
06:12
and it'll tell you what type of issue it is.
06:14
You could also tap on the Photograph Attachment
06:17
or you can tap on the Linked Document,
06:20
and it opens that document, it opens that view,
06:24
and takes you to that particular issue.
06:28
There we go.
06:29
How cool is that?
06:33
So that's how we create issues in the field using the BIM 360
06:37
mobile app.
06:38
In the next objective we are going
06:39
to talk about how do we action these issues
06:41
and how do we manage them.
06:43
See you there, Cheers.

From the bottom toolbar, tap on Issues; the Issues panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
Tap on any of the issues you created to open that issue in a separate window, as shown in the following figure.
Tap on the linked document to open that issue in that document, refer to the following figure.
