Field Notes Use Cases

I was curious as to how other companies and project teams are using Field Notes. We have a good number of projects using Openspace and they are doing awesome at capturing and using past captures but we are wanting to start getting teams to use Field Notes more. We would love to eventually start using it for punch list. Cant wait to hear the different workflows. Thanks!

Updated OpenSpace Invitation

Hey Everyone,As an org admin, I find that when have to share with everyone in my project team the Tenant Fit-Out Demo Project, it is still a steep learning curve for new users in my project team. (Shown Below)Is there a way that this video below can be incorporated by default in the invitation to help give new users a better understanding of what the User Interface looks like? I always copy and paste this video for reference to my team. Its a great video! For Example:Welcome to your new OpenSpace Project. We recommend you check out this 3-min video giving you a brief overview of our OpenSpace software.  Please also check out this tenant improvement link.Project Link: XYZ…..

OpenSpace BIM Link Issue

Has anyone had issues with their captures linking with a BIM file? The sync has worked for me 3 times previously with smaller files.I use the architects’ .nwd file and it is about 68,000 KB. I’m having trouble with linking the model with captures. I uploaded the model (on the right) a week after the captures. I waited another week for the model to sync after the .nwd BIM file upload. The captures and BIM model did not sync after this process.

User Experience Questions

I am a new adopter and I am working to develop the best implementation for my company. After a few hands on captures I have a few ideas and questions. I may be alone in some of these comments.To jump into a capture it’s called “IMAGES” which was initially confusing. This could potentially be improved by calling it something else like “Captures” or “3D photos” or even “Enter”. I get the symbology now as I see it used elsewhere, but if it was a different color it might pop better to indicate that’s what you really want to see.The scroll feature seems disproportionate. I feel like I need five or six full scroll wheel units to zoom into the part of the floor plan I want to see. I find myself using the floor plan to navigate a lot, and I am really exercising my scroll wheel finger. The zoom similarly feels slow. This may all be part of the software intending to be phone/tablet based, but I see myself looking at these captures on my computer often.  Is there a way to set a preference to the

Opening the Door to OpenSpace Track Door Tracking!Product Update

 🔎 What?A new progress tracker! 📈 Leverage the power of OpenSpace Track to ensure you never lose track of another door ever again. With OpenSpace Track door tracking, users can track the installation of door frames and hanging of door panels across the entire project. Hours of walking the site counting doors with a notebook can be reduced to minutes with OpenSpace’s passive capture and OpenSpace Track’s intuitive progress dashboards. Know the installation status of any door, monitor crew productivity, get clear visibility into remaining work, and so much more with OpenSpace Track door tracking. 🤔 Why did we build this?Because we all know doors can be a pain 😅 Miscommunication between contractors and vendors, production issues, delivery mixups, and simply losing material on site make the process of managing the installation of doors complex and at times frustrating. We understand that anyone managing the installation of doors needs as much actionable data at their fingertips so that

Capture Naming Glitch

Recently when naming captures on the mobile app, the suggestions box will cause the text box to disappear. This is a minor issue, but can become annoying when typing out capture names that are similar. For example, if I have a capture named “East Campus L4.5 5/23” and I am moving down to the next level and want to name it “East Campus L3.5 5/23,” the text box will disappear which causes me to guess at the typing until the suggestion box goes away. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Getting Started Tip

The top tip that I an give for new users is to set aside time in your schedule each week to capture. Making it a habit to capture and blocking off time in your schedule makes you do it on a more consistent schedule. There are many times that we forget to do captures or we don’t capture as frequently as you should and you miss important aspects of the job.
