Hi,  
Can you share a .dyn file example of this workflow?

Hi @liuk.ofria,  
If it helps, all I did was basically us a FilterByBoolMask to choose the thing you want from the WorksharingSession / WorksharingEvent nodes, then get the duration, like this:

Is It working only for local file, or is it working also with model in cloud hub?

I don’t believe there is a central slog file generated for cloud models, which is a bit of an issue. There are a number of nodes in the Journalysis package which interact with users’ journal files though. Although I haven’t tried this.

Journals have the same tags around synchronization times as slog files do, so while you can’t pull the simplified set of data for all users directly (because there is no central model with cloud worksharing), you can pull it for a given Revit session and actually build your own slog if wanted.

Now that would be an interesting thing to learn “Building slog files for Revit”  
On youtube please 🙂

If only I had a good 48 hours a day… the number of things which can be learned from journal parsing is quite significant… and AU session isn’t enough to cover it all though, and few would want a full week of such education (least a lot less than want the other stuff I do)…
