Creating markups is only one step in the project lifecycle. Once an issue is identified, someone still needs to assign the work, communicate the details to the field, and confirm that it's been completed.
Without a connected workflow, those steps often happen through emails, phone calls, spreadsheets, or other disconnected tools.
TaskLink helps bridge that gap by connecting Bluebeam Revu with GoCanvas, allowing project teams to create, assign, and track field tasks directly from Revu.
What Is TaskLink?
TaskLink is an integration between Bluebeam Revu and GoCanvas that transforms project markups into actionable field tasks. Instead of manually recreating information in emails, spreadsheets, or separate task management systems, users can launch GoCanvas forms directly from a markup, assign work to the field, and monitor progress without leaving Revu.
What Is GoCanvas?
GoCanvas is a mobile forms and workflow platform that replaces paper forms and manual processes with digital workflows. Construction teams use GoCanvas to complete inspections, work orders, safety reports, punch lists, QA/QC documentation, and other field activities from a mobile device.
When paired with Bluebeam Revu through TaskLink, GoCanvas extends your document workflows into the field, helping teams capture information and complete assigned work from virtually anywhere.
Why Connect Bluebeam and GoCanvas?
Bluebeam helps identify and communicate project issues through markups, while GoCanvas streamlines field data collection and task execution. TaskLink connects these two workflows, making it easier to move from identifying an issue to resolving it.
- Reduce manual work by creating field tasks directly from Revu instead of transferring information between applications.
- Improve field communication by providing crews with the context they need through linked markups and standardized forms.
- Keep documentation connected by associating completed GoCanvas forms with the original markup for easier tracking and project closeout.
- Track progress in real time from within Revu, giving project teams greater visibility into outstanding work.
Instead of managing information across multiple disconnected systems, TaskLink helps keep project documentation and field execution connected throughout the project lifecycle.
How TaskLink Works
With TaskLink, there's no need to manually recreate information in separate applications. Instead, the workflow remains connected to the project drawing from start to finish.
A typical workflow looks like this:
- Create a markup in Bluebeam Revu.
- Launch a pre-built GoCanvas form from the markup.
- Assign the task to a field team member.
- Complete the task using the GoCanvas mobile app.
- Track task status from within Revu.
- Keep completed forms linked to the original markup for easy reference.
By keeping drawings, markups, and field documentation connected, project teams have better visibility into work that has been assigned and completed.
What You Need to Get Started with TaskLink
To use the integration, organizations will need:
- Bluebeam Revu 21.8 or later
- A Bluebeam subscription for users creating and managing tasks
- GoCanvas accounts for users building forms, assigning tasks, and completing work in the field
GoCanvas also offers GoCanvas Lite for TaskLink, a subscription tier designed specifically for organizations looking to get started with the integration.
Bring Your Office and Field Teams Together
Construction projects generate thousands of markups over their lifecycle, but identifying an issue is only part of the process. What matters is ensuring the right people receive the information, complete the work, and document the results.
TaskLink helps connect those steps by linking Bluebeam Revu markups with GoCanvas field workflows, giving project teams a more streamlined way to assign work, track progress, and keep project documentation connected from the office to the jobsite.
