Quick Start - Using the Dashboard
The dashboard is the central hub for the Online Management Platform. From here, you can quickly navigate to all of the major features within it.
From anywhere in the application, click the 3DPlans.com logo in the upper-left corner to view the dashboard. The default view displays a list of the active projects.
Project Lists
There are several different tabs, each of which corresponds to a project filter:
Active — projects that are in-progress (not yet complete).
Completed — projects for which the final files have been delivered.
Favorites — a list of projects you have marked as favorite.
All Projects — a list of all active and complete projects.
Mark a project as a favorite
To mark a project as a favorite, simply click the star next to the name.
Click the Favorites tab to see your favorite projects.
Search for a project
As your project portfolio grows, it may be easier to use the search feature to quickly locate a specific project. The search feature applies to whichever tab has been chosen. For example, if you click the Active tab and enter the term “sapphire”, the list will filter to display only those projects that contain “sapphire” in the name.
To search all projects, click the All Projects tab and then enter your search terms.
Project details
If multiple projects are under a single property, click on the property name or arrow to expand the list and view the projects' details.
Click on one of the left-side buttons to see details for a specific project, such as a 3D Walking Tour project.
Notice the project tabs near the top of the page, one for each separate product.
In the Project Details panel, you can click the View Proof link to see the proof (if available). To view the sales order or invoice, click the View PDF link.
Click the Members link to view your team members included on the project. In the popup window, you can add members to the project team and click the Save button.

Review the project status and due date
Upload reference files and details for the design team
