Bimserver - show date project last updated

In the BIM Server Manager, under projects it would be great to show when the project was last worked on.
As an additional precaution, we manually export BIM Server projects to a remote drive and it would be great if we could identify only those projects recently worked on.

I have a workaround for you until this wish is granted.
In Windows Explorer, you can go to the Project folder of the BIM Server installation folder.
On my computer it is:

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\BIM Server\Projects

Then you can search for "project.db".
This is the main project database file.
Then you can sort the results by modification date.
You will see from its folder name the name of the project it belongs to.
This way you can quickly see which projects need exporting.

I am still hopeful a Date Modified Field will be added to The BIMServer Manager working pane. It's a pain to be without this important information.

It really can't be that difficult to implement. When one is choosing a teamwork project to join, it already shows the "date modified" and "project size" of all the teamwork projects

Haneef,

partially this is available even with the current versions. If you open a project's settings, there in the project log you can see the last action with timestamp.

Of course this is not a convenient way, so I posted a feature request about it.

Thanks,
Marton
