Task Header Configuration Options

The various common elements and their options are described as follows:

Item Description
Name Define the name used to identify the task. The name displays in the task list and the Clarity logs.
Scope Define the context of how the task runs. It can be associated with a file, with an entire Project, or completely generally.
Project Select the Project this task applies to.
Note: Only one Project can be selected (You cannot change the project when editing a task in it).
Target When working with File-scoped tasks, it enables you to specify which files in the Project should be processed by this task. For assistance in selecting models, click ... next to the field.


  • If working with a Server-Scoped task, the target indicates which task servers should be used to perform the task. Click ... to select from a list.

Priority Set the task priority when running on a task server. Lower numbers have more priority.

Post Action

When tasks are completed, it enables you to choose additional actions that can be performed to the output of that task.
Options include Running a Script, Move/Copy File and Post to FTP.  (i.e. The Move/Copy post action can use keywords in the action path.)
For more information, see  Keywords Used in Post Task Actions.
Frequency Configure when the system executes or runs the task:
  • On Demand: Executes the task when you choose to run.
  • Scheduled: Executes the task at a specific set of recurring days & time.
    • Weekly: Each week on the selected day(s)
    • Every 2 Weeks: Every other week, on the selected day(s)
    • Every 3 Weeks: Every third week, on the selected day(s)
    • Monthly: On the selected day(s) of the month)

 

  • Only On Change: For the "Scheduled" option, Clarity WILL NOT create a task at the scheduled time if the associated model has not changed since the last time a task successfully completed.
  • Starting On: Start scheduling the task as of this date. For schedules such as "Every 2 weeks" or "Every 3 Weeks", the starting date defines which weeks the task will happen.
  • Next Run: Clarity calculates the next run date for the task based on your current settings, to confirm the timing.
  • Immediate on Sync to Central: Executes the task when your model file is checked back into the central model.
Launchable Control whether the user can manually run the task on demand from the Project page or the Clarity Revit Add-in.

Administrator Required

Control whether the user requires Administrator access to execute the task on demand.
Note: For some tasks, such as Backup, it is not recommended to allow regular users to execute the task.

E-mail Notifications

Set email notifications for tasks:

  • Yes: An email is sent to the Coordinators and Administrators on completion or when an error occurs.

Enabled

Control whether this task is available to run:

  • Yes: Enables users to run the task.
