Enabling on-demand features
Some features can be requested to be enabled for existing projects by the contact person for your Catenda license while others can be enabled with a setting in the project.
When a new feature is requested to be enabled, a meeting will be set up with a support representative to discuss the current status of the feature.
If a project is not already available where the new feature can be tested a dummy project will be created for a limited time where the new feature can be tested.

The new status workflow no longer has to be requested to be enabled and is now available both for new users and can be enabled for project that are currently using the legacy status workfly by enablling shared revisions in document settings.
Objects page
Search on any content from your IFC with logic.
The objects page is an on-demand feature that can be requested to be enabled for ongoing projects.
New projects that are created based on a template project where this feature is enabled do not have this feature enabled.
For example all "Door entities" from "Model A" that are taller than 2 meters.
Configure columns to display the relevant properties for each row element in the table.
If filter results have an object in the 3D viewer this object can be selected in 3D.
Export selected elements with the configured property columns that are displayed to excel.
Similar to the QTO feature objects that are selected in 3D can be filtered as well.
Compared to the QTO feature it is not a problem to load thousands of rows in the table.
Report editor
Create report templates for topics and documents so project members can select topics or documents from the table and use the report action to generate a report.
The reports page is an on-demand feature that can be requested to be enabled for ongoing projects.
New projects that are created based on a template project where this feature is enabled do not have this feature enabled.
Separate templates can be created for topics and documents.
When a template is available in a project the report action can be used with selected topics and documents to generate a report based on the selected template.
Support for how different values can be displayed on the page is offered by Catenda.
