What's new

RS.CDE.Server — What's new

Version 1.1.2 — November 2026

The web cabinet now supports 22 languages; language and theme can be selected on the sign-in screen.

RS.Messenger and RS.MCP can find similar previously resolved discussions, tasks and approvals in projects where the requester is a participant.

Project chat messages now support a shared priority (Urgent, Important, Critical or Awaiting response) and a due date.

Edits, deletions and attachments from chats connected through RS.Messenger synchronize to the server; files are downloadable from the web cabinet.

Renamed components: RS.CDE.Server is the server and RS.CDE is the desktop client. Users must sign in again after updating.

The Windows EXE installs the .NET 8 Hosting Bundle automatically; the MSI remains available for centrally managed deployment.

Linux systemd and Docker deployment is supported alongside Windows Server.

The installer requires file storage outside the Windows system disk and can migrate an existing data directory.

First-run setup now matches the web cabinet, with four themes and 22 languages.

Fixed unfiltered task, approval and issue lists under Linux; changed task statuses now refresh immediately.

Introduced project and model registers, Revit-version history and archived projects.

Added a browser-based project workspace with chats, tasks, approvals, reports and user/licensing administration.

Description

RS.CDE.Server — Common Data Environment

RS.CDE.Server hosts the project's common data environment on your organisation's infrastructure. Approvals, issues, tasks, project chats, model registers and audit history are brought together in one place. Managers work in a browser; designers work in Revit, and both see the same project records.

Why it matters

Decisions made by email or in meetings quickly become disconnected from the models they affect. RS.CDE.Server links every request, issue, task and discussion to its project and, where applicable, to a model; the append-only event log records who acted, when and why.

Core capabilities

Approval routes can run sequentially or in parallel. Stages are assigned to organisations and then to individual approvers. Outcomes: Approved, Approved with comments, or Rejected. Each decision and delegation remains in the audit trail.

Revit issues refer to a specific view and model elements. Categories cover code violations, missing information, constructability, errors and questions. Statuses range from Open through In Progress and Resolved to Closed.

Tasks have assignees, deadlines, statuses and a complete activity history; dashboards report overdue work and team workload.

Project and model chats support attachments and shared message priorities: Urgent, Important, Critical and Awaiting response. RS.Messenger synchronizes connected Telegram discussions, including edits and deletions.

The project register stores codes, descriptions, disciplines, participants, model paths, Revit versions and version-change history. Archived projects remain searchable.

Reports cover approval decisions and times, task completion, workloads and activity over the past 30 days.

Users and security

Project managers, BIM coordinators, designers, contractors and clients access their appropriate parts of the workspace. Users can be disabled immediately; password-authenticated rights and project roles restrict privileged actions. Data is kept on the organisation's server.

Deployment

ASP.NET Core 8 on Windows Server with IIS or Linux with systemd/Docker; PostgreSQL 14+ and separate project file storage. A 90-day trial and offline license activation are supported. The web cabinet offers 22 languages and four themes.
