Managing the Project Dashboard
Whenever you click on any project, you will be directed to the Task Manager. The left side menu/project dashboard has Tasks, Contents, Projects
The project dashboard has all the links related to task, content, project. These options also allow you to create and manage project tasks and screens.
The project menu bar is divided into the following categories:
- Home: Default project screen displaying project properties.
- Tasks: Displays a list of tasks in the task manager. You can open existing tasks and create new tasks as well. Also allows you to sort through tasks based on priority, ID, screen, status, and other properties.
- Comments: You can add issues, directions, questions, or version update data as a project comment. Feedback registered as a comment does not appear in the task manager but can be converted into a task later on.
- Messages: The Message Board is an efficient way of communicating or posting information for collaborators and clients.
- Files and URLs: When selected, displays all the files and URLs that have been added to the project along with the details like file type, who added a file, number of screenshots and tasks. Clicking on any of the files or links takes you to the review session to share feedback and create tasks associated with that file/URL.
- Images/videos: Screengrabs taken during the review of a file or URL are captured and stored as a “screen”. You can customize the name of screens, delete as well as reorder them. Each screen has identification markers wherever a task or comment exists on it.
- Collaborators: Displays a list of team members given access to the project; if permitted by your account settings, you can add additional reviewers using the “Add Collaborators” function.
- Phases: You can add different project life cycle milestones or stages as a phase, along with their current status and expected deadlines. These can mark checkpoints in your project or be used to track iterations during the development life cycle of a project plan.
- Activity Feed: When selected, shows a running history of actions taken, by whom, and when, and what was modified.
- Settings: Displays the project properties; depending on the nature of your account you can edit these.
