Review Transition Information

The Data Transitions table lists every project you've imported or attempted to import, along with its current state. Each row represents a single project and, by default, includes the following columns:

• Project name: The name of the project as it appears in the source platform.
• Validation status: The result of the pre-import validation check, such as Validated, Exceeded limit, or Failed.
• Import status: The result of the import operation, such as Imported, Partially imported, or Failed. A hover tip on Partially imported shows which items were skipped.
• Imported on: The date the project data finished importing.
• Import ETA: The estimated time remaining to complete the import.
• Transition status: The result of the move to Forma Data Management, such as Transitioned or Failed.
• Transitioned on: The date the project finished transitioning.
• Transition ETA: The estimated time remaining to complete the transition.
• Platform: The source platform the project came from, such as PlanGrid, BIM 360, or BIM 360 Field.
• Project data: A link, such as File browser, that opens the imported data for review.
• Action: Context-specific actions for the project, such as Retry or Revalidate.
