To populate the BCF Live view with issues from the project, you need to turn on the Live Sync. When you turn on the Live Sync, you're prompted to select a server and project. When you have established the connection, the issues will be synchronised from the issue management platform. When the Live Sync is on, any issues you import from Solibri will be synchronized automatically.
The synchronization status is shown in the leftmost column. When the synchronization is ongoing, the status icon is 
. When the synchronization is complete, the icon is

-
Missing issue title
-
Server timeout
-
Connection error
-
Other limitation on the BCF server side (for example, a limitation on the number of components included in a viewpoint)
Note
From version 9.12.10 onward, Solibri will display a warning when a viewpoint sync error is detected. When an issue has been updated, the row is highlighted using bold text:

To end the session, click Close connection. If you wish to continue with the same project, click Remain connected.
