Does anyone have a visual they have set up to show what snapshots have been successfully taken for their Revit Projects??
I am looking for some Ideas on creating one for our group.
@Gilly might have to explain what you are looking for in a little bit more detail, but hopefully, I can help. I am just not sure what you are asking for at the moment.
I am looking for a list of projects that successfully completed a snap shot in the last x-days. (lets say last 7 days) as well as a list of projects that the snapshot was started but did not complete in the last x-days.
@Gilly I don’t think we are collecting that kind of data. I guess a successful snapshot list would be possible just by getting all file paths from the documents that did get published into the database, but the failed ones would not have uploaded anything so I guess we would need to figure out how to track that. I will make a note of that and get back to you.
I think I have a way figured out - I am looking at the task dialog results. (revit beat - event.original) Do you see any reason this would not be accurate?
@Gilly Well, this is accurate if you are interested in counting how many successful Snapshots were taken. Yes, count how many of these pop-ups you had and that will be accurate. The Problem with this source of data is that journal files do not have a context. You don’t know which project this snapshot was taken for. That gave me an idea because we capture this particular data via revit-log:
That should also give you the same count for the pop-up, but will also have data for a file name and file path that this pop-up accused for. Now, you can count snapshots that were successful and which files were they taken for. Also, if the file path is empty it means file was never saved or opened in detached mode. Just FYI.
Yes - as I put the visual together I did switch to revit-log. Only issue I have (not a big deal) is the message field is only available to filter at the top. Message is not available to show in the visual.
@Gilly yes, that’s probably because Message field is a Text, not Keyword field. I can make a note of that to change them over in the future.
