Clash Manager Configuration

Before Clash Manager can be used on a project, it is necessary for you to perform some configuration tasks. The focus of these tasks is to produce an organized and structured presentation of clash data that assists in the management of the clashes. All configuration tasks described here are carried out at the Clash Manager Configuration form. The basic configuration tasks, which are necessary regardless of project size, are as follows:

• Project – Designproject code, user-id, password and MDB

• Discipline – determines how disciplines are identified for the clashing elements

• Security – controls user, supervisor and administration access rights

• Group – controls group settings for consolidation of detail clashes

• Assign – determines how clashes can be automatically assigned to a discipline.

The above tasks should serve for small to medium sized Design projects, with the remaining advanced configuration tasks namely, Accept, Class, Priority, Status, Comments, Level/Type and Gtype/Tracking, safely left at the default values.

For larger projects, the advanced configuration tasks should be carried out, to achieve complex assignment and acceptance rules
