Autodesk Forma Schedule

What Autodesk Forma Schedule is
Autodesk Forma Schedule is a construction scheduling tool included with Autodesk Build and presented under Autodesk Forma. It centralizes project schedules and digital work plans so teams can share information and collaborate. Activities can link to Files, Photos, Issues, Sheets, and Assets, while schedules connect to Cost for time-related costs and cash flow. Search and filters locate items by date, resources, or status, and visual comparison can stack up to five schedule versions. Weekly work plans support tasks, handoffs, roadblocks, and dependencies using Lean Construction principles. Forma Build imports schedules from Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or ASTA Powerproject. Mobile users can view activities by day, week, or month and search for activities. Forma runs as a cloud service in a browser, with mobile access through the App Store and Google Play. Pricing is on request with flexible user-, project-, and account-based pricing.
