Clearstory now offers an integration with Viewpoint Vista! This integration allows you to push CORs into new or existing Pending Change Orders.
Getting Started
When you are ready to move forward please reach out to: support@clearstory.com
The Vista Integration is only available with a Professional License
The Vista integration uses the Trimble App Xchange (formerly known as Ryvit) to connect Clearstory to the customer’s Vista environment. At a high-level there are 3 steps to complete to get the integration setup on your system:
- The Trimble App Xchange agent needs to be installed on your system to enable your Vista system to talk with the App Xchange.
- Once the agent is installed, Clearstory will configure your account in Clearstory to talk to the App change
- Finally, Trimble finalizes configuration to make sure that both systems are talking to one another on the App Xchange.
To start the process Clearstory needs the following information from you:
- Do you already have an existing Trimble App Xchange client running in their environment?
- Is your Vista on premise or hosted in the cloud?
- What is the First name, Last name, and email of your technical contact who Trimble will work with to install the agent?
- What is your Vista Company Number in the customer environment that will be synced?
- Should Soft Closed Jobs be considered open or closed?
After initial set up is complete with our support team, below are the additional steps required to use the Viewpoint Vista integration with your Clearstory projects:
