Optimize Project Data

Updated yesterday

In the realm of Project management, efficiency is paramount. Over time, Projects can accumulate large amounts of unused data, which can clutter the system and impair overall performance, including loading times and synchronization. This accumulation of data can also obscure the visibility of current tasks, as older tasks may block the view.

To address these challenges and optimize the setup and management of Projects, here are some best practices:

Split Projects

Consider splitting large Projects into smaller, more manageable sections. For example, if your Project consists of multiple components, buildings, or phases, create a separate docu tools Project for each component. This way, you only need to synchronize the relevant parts of the Project with your mobile devices and not the entire Project, leading to faster synchronization and loading times.

Deactivate closed Pins

To avoid long synchronization times and not overload the storage with outdated data, it is advisable to deactivate Pins that have been closed for an extended period. Use the bulk editing feature to speed up this process. Filter Pins by their Status and the date of last modification and deactivate those that meet certain criteria (e.g., Pins that have been closed for more than six months). This proactive approach not only improves Project performance but also saves storage space on mobile devices.

Limit Images per Pin

Avoid long loading times and high storage capacities by limiting the number of images in a single Pin. Avoid including excessively many images (e.g., 100+) in a single Pin. Instead, create separate documentation Pins as needed and deactivate older Pins to ensure optimal performance. Efficient management of image content ensures smoother navigation and reduces the burden on storage resources.

Deactivate unused Plans

During long-term Projects, you should regularly review the necessity of existing Plans. Deactivating unused Plans can significantly increase synchronization speed and optimize storage space. Consider archiving Plans that have not been accessed or changed over an extended period. This proactive approach streamlines Project management processes and ensures that only relevant data is retained.

By implementing these tips, you can tackle the challenges associated with Projects where excessive data accumulates. Optimizing Project segmentation, deactivating outdated Pins, limiting image content, and effectively managing Plans are key practices that contribute to smoother Project execution and improved performance.
