standardized


Status Values

▪ Empty – Not addressed

▪ None – No activity, but connected to an Action

▪ Started

▪ Paused

▪ Commit – Commitment to do, e.g. included to next phase plan

▪ Enable – Objects which are available, e.g. possible to start installation


Fully Customizable Process Description

▪ Describe your own process with Actions– Share the essential milestones with other stakeholders using Public Actions

▪ Follow your internal process with Private Actions▪ Share Status Events through Trimble Connect

– Almost real time– Buffering when offline

▪ Collect the history data of all status changes– Status events– Time– By whom

▪ Visualize the situation in the models▪ Store the corresponding values into Tekla Structures for reporting
