Working with Tasks
Task Console.
Upon logging in you are greeted with the Task Console. Here you can see and filter tasks by Kind, Status, Created Time and Updated Time. You can also see the percent completion of tasks.
A task corresponds to one file and the work associated with that one file.
Task Actions.
The left most column of the Tasks table shows actions for viewing data related to tasks. They are links to other sections of the KIND Automatic UI.
They include:
Viewing Geometry of a Task File
Viewing Sheets/Views of a Task File
Viewing Metadata of a Task File
Viewing Queries of a Task File

Creating Tasks.
To create a new task via the UI, press the “ADD TASKS” button.
Specifying Task Details.
The Add Task popup gives you the option to specify what Task Kind, and how many workers to assign to that task, capped at 10 unique workers.
Types of Tasks.
The KIND Automatic UI currently supports the following Task Kinds :
ForgeRevitMetaExtract - Extracting Metadata like type and instance parameter and property data.
ForgeRevitGeometryExtract - Extracting geometry as IFC
ForgeRevitDwfExtract - Extracting Views and Sheets as Dwfx and PDF.
ForgeRevitMasterExtract - Doing all of the above in a single Task.
Upload your File and Submit.
Select a Revit file (.rvt or .rfa). We currently support Revit 2020 and up. Once uploaded a new task appears in the table with a Created status.
Watch your Progress.
Times vary by task type, file size and worker count.
Voila.
Now that the task is complete, the actions buttons are enabled. Check out the next section to learn about accessing your data.
