Managing Autodesk Integrated Field Notes

Overview

With Integrated Field Notes, you can create Autodesk Issues directly from the OpenSpace mobile app while keeping the record linked to Autodesk. That means you can capture issues from the field with photos and AI Autolocation, then manage and resolve those issues in OpenSpace or Autodesk. You can also create Autodesk Issues in OpenSpace on desktop.

After you create a native Autodesk Issue in OpenSpace, supported fields stay aligned between OpenSpace and Autodesk through two-way sync. OpenSpace also generates a Field Note PDF report and attaches it (along with relevant images) to the corresponding item in Autodesk.
