Connect Trimble Viewpoint and put your documents to work

Your drawings, specs and reports already live in Trimble Viewpoint for Projects. Connect it once and PlanOps keeps them in step, then reads them, so the project intelligence comes to you instead of you going hunting for it.

Goal

A live Trimble Viewpoint connection feeding your project, with AI review running over the documents already in it.

What you walk away with

Trimble Viewpoint connected at organisation level, the right Viewpoint project linked to your PlanOps project, documents syncing on a schedule you chose, and the assistant already reviewing what came across, with no migration and no duplicate filing.

Time: ~30 minutes · Level: intermediate · Steps: 2

Set up once per project​

Do these the first time only. If your project is already set up, skip straight to the steps.

Connect Trimble Viewpoint to your organisation​

Request API access from Trimble, generate a Personal Access Token, and enter the credentials in PlanOps. Your documents stay where they are: PlanOps reads them, it does not move them.

Full guide: Connect Trimble Viewpoint for Projects

Browse the enterprises and sites in Viewpoint, pick the project or folder that belongs to this job, and map it to the project. Only what you link comes across, so a shared enterprise does not turn into a shared mess.

Decide how much history to pull in, and how often​

Choose the sync mode and frequency that suit the project: a full back catalogue for a live job mid-flight, or new documents only from today. The IU cost is shown before you commit.

Confirm documents are actually flowing​

Check the connection status against the project so you know the sync is healthy and current before you rely on it, and can spot a lapsed token or a permissions gap early.

Steps​

Steps marked ⚡ AI task are done for you by a PlanOps AI assistant, run from the Assistant Hub on your project home.

Step 1: Let PlanOps read what just arrived ⚡ AI task​

This is the payoff. Point the assistant at the synced documents and it explains what each one is, what changed and what it means for the project, turning a folder you had to open one file at a time into something that briefs you.

Run on demand from the Assistant Hub.
