We have an automated design-notification system running with Trimble WorksManager. When a new design is uploaded, our team automatically receives email and text notifications.
The notification script pulls the Description field from the WorksManager design, so I currently have to go into WorksManager after publishing and manually enter the description.
For example:
Design: 250821 Rough Grade.V01
Description: Updated rough grade surface with revised building pad elevations
The issue is that when publishing a design directly from Trimble Business Center, I don't see an option to enter the WorksManager Description during the publishing process.
Adding this ability in TBC would save an extra step and would also make automated notifications much more useful.
There is also another issue with revisions. If I replace/update a design from:
V01 → V02
WorksManager keeps the description from the previous version. I then have to manually erase the old description and enter the new one.
Ideally, I would like one of the following:
- An option in TBC Publish to WorksManager to enter/update the design Description.
- A way for the Description to automatically update when a new revision is published
Is there currently a way to populate or update the WorksManager Description directly from TBC when publishing a design?
If not, is this something Trimble could add to the TBC → WorksManager publishing workflow?
