The Asite Product Team
1. New Functionality

Adoddle is our new name for the Asite Platform. Please check out our Meet Adoddle video here:
http://www.asite.com/resources/videos/
|
|
Our Website (www.asite.com) page has been upgraded with a new and vibrant look and feel. The new website aims to providing a simpler and more graphical interface and to cater to a wide variety of different types of users. |
1.2 Asite cBIM
|
The Asite cBIM application extends support to publish files from Revit directly to cBIM via our new Revit Plugin. This is currently supported for the following Revit versions:
|
|
The Asite cBIM application supports the following Operating Systems:
|
|
This feature enables a user to setup Models for coordination by project partners into one central model. A new Workspace Role privilege “Can Manage Project Models” is introduced and only Workspaces where a user has this privilege will be available for hosting project models. |
|
This feature enables users to set the Project Model properties and edit workset information. |
|
This feature enables users Add / Edit Worksets within the Project Model and map with the project folders for viewing within the web application. |
|
Asite cBIM provides an integrated 3D model viewer with interactive visualisation modes and user-friendly navigation. Users can identify models versioning and view model history at a glance from the visualisation page. |
|
Users can manage model revisions automatically by uploading model files. Uses have an ability to see the delta information between two model files by selecting multiple published versions and generating a cBIM delta report. |
|
The activity centre can keep track of multiple concurrent model file publishing and model merging activities and provide the user a visual status of all their changes, including exception reporting. This is available in the system tray. |
|
Users can now merge multiple model files and view them as a combined view in the Visualisation Pane. |
|
Users can review model files by creating online mark-ups on the model from within the visualisation pane. The mark-ups that user have created are saved as a model view in the Views Manager. |
|
Users can collaborate by creating / responding to comments from within the cBIM tool and conducted threaded discussions. |
|
Users can initiate a workflow from the cBIM tool (such as an RFI, Submittal, Technical Design Query, Purchase Order). The list of workflows available includes Asite’s entire library of industry-specific workflows as well as any custom workflow created using the Asite AppBuilder. Workflows initiated within cBIM support attaching model views and mark-ups to the workflow messages. |
|
Users can attach views while creating comments or Workflows. |
|
User can view full access history information within the cBIM Application. |
|
User can view full revision history information within the cBIM Application.
|
|
Users can download model files in both native formats as well as IFC format. |
|
Users can continue to work offline and access all information previously viewed in the cBIM application. |
|
User can also view model files online within Asite's web browser interface and make comments. |
1.3 Document Manager
|
The Instant Email Notification will now include the Project Name along with either the Document Reference ( for document actions) or the Form ID and Form Title (for form actions) in the Subject Line. |
|
The normal Document Comments now have a prefix of DOC while BIM model Comments now have a prefix of BIM against the Comment ID e.g. DOC-COM001 and BIM-COM001. |
|
The Platform is upgraded to support Organisation-level archives in addition to Project-level archives. This allows companies to request close-out documentation for all information available to their company during the project. |
|
A new Workspace preference has been introduced to allow individual users to control whether they prefer to include subfolders by default during searches and whilst navigating folder structures. |
|
The Comment Title and Comment Description fields are populated with the Mark-up name when launched while saving a Mark-up. |
1.4 Reporting
|
Asite browser-based Report-builder has been enhanced with additional data objects for the Project and Document Access information. |
1.5 AppBuilder
|
The Caching mechanism is extended to provide a framework to invalidate a cache when the content of form is dynamically updated in an event in another form. E.g. in case of NEC Manager if the Quotation is populated in the Incident form. the cache of the Incident can be invalidated when a Quotation for that Incident is created. |
|
A functional issue in the application is resolved to handle a scenario wherein if an action is assigned as part of auto-distribution and in parallel the Form Status which closes out the form is changed, the newly assigned action is not cleared but continues to remain incomplete. Similarly if an incomplete action exists the action is treated as cleared instead of completed and a new For Information action is assigned. |
|
The AppBuilder functionality is extended to be able to support public links to forms for Paper Users. The links are issued within the Instant Email notifications and External users can login to view the Form information without having to login with any credentials. Audit Trail is however captured for the user who was issued the action. |
|
The AppBuilder functionality is upgraded with a generic mechanism to auto-generate sequence numbers while creating a new form. |
1.6 Asite Exchange
|
This feature adds support for both the Spanish and Russian languages into the Asite Exchange. |
|
The Catalogue Manager is extended to support the display of suggested items in the Product Details page. |
|
The Catalogue Manager is extended to support multiple currencies at an item level. The Default currency can be amended specific to items while publishing a catalogue. |
1.7 Administration
|
Privileged users can now create a new User and associate / create a new Organization directly from the Team Directory and User Role Membership pages. |
