About Issues

The Issues tool in Autodesk® Build and Autodesk® Docs allows you to track, manage, and communicate problems and areas for improvement across the construction lifecycle to prevent delays and deliver quality work. With Issues, you can reference data on sheets, forms, RFIs, and throughout the Autodesk Construction Cloud™.

Once you configure the Issues tool, your team will be able to create issues quickly and easily from the field. This makes it simple to track any issues, such as punch list items or trade damage, identify problems, and manage work on your project.

With greater visibility and the ability to track progress, you'll be able to deliver quality work on time.

How to Use Issues

The Issues tool provides a set of preconfigured categories and types under those categories to organize the issues on your project. You can get started right away or configure the categories and types to your project's needs.

To configure issues, customize your issue settings. Create custom types and categories. Issues have default attributes that you can fill out to provide details on the issue, but custom fields can be added. Adding a root cause can also help to understand how to prevent issues from recurring. You can also manage permissions to issues so that your team has access as needed.

You can create issues within the Issues tool or from a markup in the Sheets and Files tools. Learn more in Create Issues.

Once issues have been created, they can be viewed in the Issues Log, managed, and exported.
