Ideas for Project Insights

Integrate iModel data directly into Project Insights dashboards within the Bentley iTwin platform to bridge the gap in current reporting capabilities. Currently, Power BI-style dashboards focus primarily on documents and deliverables, providing a limited view of overall project health and progress. Meanwhile, the Forms module offers dashboards with limited functionality, often lacking the depth and flexibility that complex projects require. Additionally, design models themselves are not currently represented in any dashboard, leaving out valuable spatial and geometric data that could enhance project insights.

By enabling iModel data to be seamlessly integrated into these dashboards, users would gain a powerful, real-time view of model metrics alongside project deliverables and documentation. This would allow stakeholders to visualize and analyze critical information directly from iModels, such as design progress, clash detection, spatial planning, and even predictive maintenance data. With customizable dashboards tailored to each project’s unique needs, teams could monitor key indicators like material quantities, progress tracking, and design changes, providing a truly comprehensive overview of project performance. This integration would empower decision-makers with deeper insights, allowing for proactive adjustments, risk mitigation, and more efficient project management across all stages of the project lifecycle.
