The Progress Tracking tool is merging into the Assets tool. Find answers to questions, including when and what to expect:
General Questions
The Progress Tracking tool, which is in beta in Autodesk Build, is going to be merging into the Assets tool.
Existing Progress Tracking projects will have their Progress Tracking data migrated into Assets beginning on 31 March 2023 at 6:00 PM PST. Progress tracking functionality is now available in Assets. Learn more in Track Assets on Sheets.
Progress Tracking delivers a simple and intuitive way to track installation progress on construction sheets that our customers love. Assets targets customers who want to execute installation and commissioning workflows on sheets and 3D models. It provides deep integrations with the ACC platform, including field collaboration and project controls workflows.
Over the past year, Assets and Progress Tracking teams have gathered a lot feedback from customers using both tools on the ACC platform. One clear need that came from our research is that Assets users need the ability to visually track assets on sheets. Progress Tracking users also need deeper integrations with the ACC platform to capture richer data during installations, which Assets provides today.
The merge provides much richer workflows that span a project lifecycle. This brings a single intuitive solution that scales with our customers’ needs and maturity, rather than providing separate solutions for visual sheet vs 3D model asset tracking.
Beta User Questions
The plan is to migrate data that Progress Tracking users currently have into Assets so the disruption will be minimal and will end in a much better experience with more connected workflows.
The migration will start on 31 March 2023 at 6:00 PM PST. We anticipate project migration to be complete by the following Monday.
Now that Progress Tracking features are available in Assets, we will copy data from Progress Tracking into the Assets tool. Historical Progress Tracking data will be available through the Data Connector.
See Progress Tracking Data Migration Details to understand how your Progress Tracking data will appear in the Assets tool once this occurs.
Progress Tracking is no longer available for new projects.
Managing your historical data from Progress Tracking can be done within the Assets tool or with Data Connector and using the Power BI templates.
See Progress Tracking Migration Details to understand how your Progress Tracking items will appear in the Assets tool.
Once your Progress Tracking data is available in Assets, the Progress Tracking tool will be disabled, and future markups can easily be made using the Assets view in Sheets.
Continue using your Progress Tracking objects so that there is no disruption to your team. Once your Progress Tracking Markups are converted to Asset markups, you can then begin creating Asset markups.
The primary features that users saw in Progress Tracking will be available in Assets, although the workflow may have a slightly different user experience. In fact, most of the changes will be improvements to what was in Progress Tracking. See the old vs new workflows in Progress Tracking Migration Details
