We would like the ALIM Import/Export tool to have the ability to remove/delete Instance Associations.
The Instance Association sheet is used to:
Add Responsibilities
Add XRefs
Add Alternate Tag Numbers
Associate Work Orders
Add Notes
Other
We have a lot of Document and Tag Associations (Responsibilities, XRefs, ATNs etc), where we need to remove existing associations but are unable to remove in bulk using the ALIM I/E tool.
Where we require associations removed in bulk, our only option is to raise an SR rather than actioning ourselves, and I don't want to wait 10+ months for my SR to be actioned.
It is completely illogical that Bentley provides a tool to bulk create Instance Associations but doesn't provide a bulk tool to remove associations.
eg Task 1 of many; I am currently removing one hundred and thirty thousand Document 'Accountable Person' responsibilities for one person who's left our company. Currently I can only do this in batches of 1000/batch via Director > Basket Actions. I'm going to spend more time doing this task than the developer adding the 'delete' functionality.
Can you please update the ALIM I/E tool's Instance Associations sheet so we're able to remove Instance Associations.
What underlying problem is this idea trying to solve?
