Re: Badges
@Andy Krogh @Marco - I didn't see any notification pop up when requesting a badge. In fact, i might have requested 3 times.

Re: Badges
Might not the ideal location, @RJ Palis. Currently, we don't have a better workaround, but we are looking into solutions. We appreciate the feedback!

Re: Profile saves default colors
@Carina - I'm not sure if this quick hack will help your cause. But if you create a custom "Tool Set" with markup tools that are default in Green, you can save this custom tool set in a "Profile". See my example below. I created a custom "Tool Set" for specific disciplines which I can carry over to any "Profile". Hope this helps.🤙

Re: Blocking User from a Session???
@Andy Krogh - Can you create a group permission role and enter the emails? From here you can restrict per Role assigned to an email:

Re: Blocking User from a Session???
The problem with using the Restrict Attendees is that we use a generic email for our divisions IE Planning@City…
Then the Planning tech opens the session invite and determines who the planner(s) is that it is to be assigned to and forwards the invite. If we restrict the attendees then planning will have to send us the email of who the planner(s) are so that we can add them to the approved list.
The same thing would happen with our Fire and Engineering departments. And it would be the same when we send the session our to a consultant company for review. The consultant might have up to 6 people neededing to be added if the session is restricted.
It would be helpful if there was a way to add a denied (blocked) user to the session without having to do the restricted session.
I value both of your advise and for this specific we are restricting the session, but the tech is going to have to add several emails to the approved list.
Example of Talk Bluebeam posts
Hi Bluebeamers!
Having trouble deciding what to discuss in the Talk Bluebeam forum? Anything related to Bluebeam!
Below is an example of the types of discussions welcomed. A Bluebeamer might ask:
Q: Can a stamp tool be created that automatically adds the date it was applied?
And a response they might receive from other Bluebeamers or Staff could look like:
A: “Great question! Stamps can include dynamic text, which allows for specific information to be automatically added to the Stamp when it is applied to the PDF. This includes author, file name, and date among many other things! While in the Stamp editor and creating a Text box, you will see a small Dynamic drop down in the lower left-hand corner of the Text box. You can select from several standard dynamic text fields, including date. Another way is to just type [&Date] in the Text box; the Stamp will recognize this as dynamic. For more detailed instructions please visit our Working with Stamps support article.
