Clash Manager
User Guide
GUI : Clash Manager Configuration Form : Status
The pane at the top of the tab displays the various Status details under Description, State and Access. A Popup Menu is available (mouse right-click) with options of Add, Edit, Delete and Set Default.
For standard status, the Description and State entries are identical, namely, Unknown, Unapproved, Pending, Conditional and Approved, and are read-only. The standard status values are explained below:
|
•
|
Unknown ‑ an initial or default status applied to new clashes if none of the automatic acceptance rules are triggered (the default status for a clash can be configured and is described later)
|
|
•
|
Unapproved ‑ the clash has not been reviewed and remains as a valid or outstanding clash for the project
|
|
•
|
Pending ‑ this status is used to indicate that the clash is currently under review by the design teams
|
|
•
|
Conditional ‑ this status is used to indicate that the clash has been reviewed and resolved in the DESIGN model. This also implies that following the next clash run this clash will no longer appear in the clash report. For reporting purposed this status implies a resolved clash.
|
|
•
|
Approved ‑ this status is used to indicate that the clash has been reviewed and is considered acceptable by the design team. The clash will continue to be reported in subsequent clash runs but its approved status will remain with the clashing items throughout the remainder of the project lifecycle. In Model Management terms if an element has only ‘Approved’ clash status in the database then it is considered ‘Clash Free’.
|
For user-defined status, the Description can be any text; the State must represent a standard status.
The Access defines who can apply the particular status to a clash or change a clash from the particular status to another. This access restriction is in addition to any set at the Security tab. Access can be set to a discipline, in which case, only a user who has supervisor rights to that discipline can change the status. The alternative access settings are blank or 'Any', both of which signify that there is no access restriction, other than that set at the Security tab.
The Default Status (for New Clashes) drop-down list is for specifying the status to be applied to new clashes that are not automatically accepted.
