SignAgent Dashboard

I can see paradise by the (SignAgent) Dashboard light!

Whoa, check out that slick dashboard! We've made some changes to make this area more functional and informational, and this article will give you an overview of what you can do on the SignAgent Dashboard.

1. Add Organization

You have 3 options here to add a new organization:

  1. New Organization - Creates a new organization with a single project, state, location, and sign type. You'll have to do all the set up.
  2. Starter Organization - Creates a new organization from the starter organization, including some sample projects, states, locations, sign types, signs, visuals, fields, templates, and more. Great for training or playing around in the system.
  3. Clone Organization - Copies an existing organization (that you have admin access to), with the option to copy over projects, states, locations, sign types, and/or signs, based on what you need for this new organization.

For more information, check out the articles here: Working with Organizations

2. Filters

These options at the top of the dashboard will allow you to customize your view and find exactly what you're looking for. They're also persistent, which means that these preferences will be saved and show up next time you open up the dashboard!

  1. Show X Projects - Choose how many projects you'd like to see at once. Options are 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, or All
  2. Filter - Choose what type of projects you'd like to see
    1. "---" - No filter, shows all projects
    2. Favorite - Any projects marked with a Yellow Star
    3. Active - Any projects with at least one "Active" state. An Active state is one that is between its Start Date and End Date (highlighted Green), and is not marked as Complete
    4. Overdue - Any projects with at least one "Overdue" state. An Overdue state is one that is past its End Date (highlighted Red), and not marked as Complete
    5. Active/Overdue - Any projects with at least one state that is marked as either Active or Overdue
    6. Archive - Any projects that have been archived. Note that these archived projects will not otherwise be visible on the dashboard.
  3. Users - See projects that contain the specified user. Note that you will only see users that you share at least one organization, project, or state with.
  4. Search - Search the names of organizations, projects, or states for this text.
