    CONNECT Advisor

      Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management
      Version(s): various
      Environment: N\A
      Area: CONNECT Services
      Subarea: CONNECT Advisor

    What is CONNECT Advisor?

    CONNECT Advisor is a new service that will help deliver Adaptive Learning Services and is designed to provide in-application contextual assistance, including recommendations, short feature and workflow videos and personalized learning paths and knowledge maps. CONNECT Advisor will increasingly leverage Azure-based machine learning, to further personalize its assistance for each Connected User.

    Based on the principles of Search, Browse and Feed, it simultaneously searches and retrieves product-specific content from:

    • Bentley LearnServer
    • Bentley Communities
    • YouTube channel(s) 
    • Product documentation

    In addition, it also retrieves and displays:

    • Events Calendar
    • Bentley News and Announcements.

    It then provides the aggregated information logically in a single location.

    Updates

    If a user has an older version of CONNECT Advisor, they will be notified of the updated version availability through the CONNECTION Client and install it from there. Get additional information on how to update by referring to the CONNECTION Client help section.

    Alternatively, follow the process documented in the “Download” section below.

    Download

    You can also download CONNECT Advisor V8i from the Fulfillment Center using the following steps. Note: CONNECT Advisor is included with CONNECT Edition products and does not require this separate download.

    1. Go to http://select.bentley.com/FulfillmentCenter/ and log in.
      If you are redirected to a page for downloading free Bentley iWare and Bentley Apps instead of what is described below, you do not have download rights for the Fulfillment Center.  Contact your site administrator for Bentley products to request download rights. The site administrator is an employee of your company, not Bentley Systems.
    2. Click the Clear All button at the bottom of the filter bar on the left.
    3. In the search box, enter CONNECT Advisor and press Enter.
    4. Select the All Downloads link under CONNECT Advisor.

    5. Download the latest version by selecting the green download button next to “Bentley CONNECT Advisor (English) 32-bit”.

    Installation

    Note: CONNECT Advisor is included with CONNECT Edition products and does not require a separate installation.

    1. Run the downloaded executable file.
    2. In the installation wizard, select the Bentley product(s) with which to integrate CONNECT Advisor.
    3. The installer will install .NET Framework 4.5.1 if it is not installed.
    4. The installer will install the latest CONNECTION Client if not installed.
