Projects Dashboard

After pressing this button, you will find yourself on the Projects Dashboard.
As seen in image below, there are several important pieces of information to see here.

First of all, the top row contains coloured blocks which show your total number of projects and how many of your projects are either On Track, At Risk, Off Track, Not Active, Overdue and Finished. You can click on the coloured block of Off Track to give immediate attention to the projects that are Off Track.

We suggest to start at Off Track and then work your way towards the At Risk and On Track blocks to make sure all your projects will be finished in a timely manner.

At the bottom row, you will find a list of your projects. You can use the search bar to look for a specific project name or project code. You can also use the filters to narrow down the projects you are looking at.
All relevant information can quickly be seen here: the Project Code (for your internal reference and also handy when communicating to us about a certain project), Project Name, the Responsible Person & Requester Company, End Date, the Milestone that the project is currently at and lastly the project Status.

If you want to navigate to a project quickly, press the blue Project Code button and you will be taken to the respective Project Page immediately.
