Coordination Issue Management

Coordination Issue Management consist of managing the Clash Statuses, the Issue Statuses, Updating the Issues and possibly reporting those to other stakeholders.

Only an Admin user can manage Coordination Issues. Standard users can have management rights, but only through a request to InEight to set it up.

There are multiple statuses associated with Issues and Clashes.

  • Issue Status starts as an Open status and then can be changed to Resolved or Closed.
  • Clash Status starts as Active (Open), then can progress to Resolved or Ignored, and changed to Closed.

When all clashes, contained within an issue, are set to either closed, ignored, or resolved, then the issue will automatically update its own status to resolved.

Once an issue status has been updated to resolved, the responsible coordinator should visually inspect the issue to ensure that it was resolved in a satisfactory manner. Then the coordinator can change the issue status to closed.

If one or both intersecting objects have been deleted within the design model, and the revised design model has been uploaded into InEight Model and the update issue has been executed, the clash will be set to an Invalid status. This indicates that InEight Model can no longer detect the clash since it cannot detect the source object(s). Invalid clashes are treated as resolved issues.

Within the Coordination Issue table area, the columns can be rearranged to a desired order and persist.
