Dashboard Overview
A dashboard is one type of an information page and is only available in Buzzsaw
Professional.
The Dashboard gives you a personalized view of your site and projects, and an easy
way to navigate through the information about your site or project. You can see
project data such as items that are assigned to you and their due date. From the Site
Dashboard you can jump to a Project Dashboard, the Site Details dashboard, a form
that has been assigned to you, or a to a specific form.
Site Summary Dashboards
Site dashboards offer an overview of the site and all projects that you have permission to
access. Following are the dashboards available at the site level:
■ Portfolio Dashboards— This dashboard displays the following data: total number of
projects, total number of projects by facility type (for example, store, building), and project
type (for example, new, remodel, tenant improvement).
This information comes from the 
Step 1: Define Project Data (page 260) that the project
administrator has defined. The data fields, Facility Type and Project Type, are categories
to use for organizing your projects. If these two fields are not filled in then the
corresponding column or field in the portfolio dashboard is marked as undefined. The
dashboard provides more meaningful data if these fields are defined.
The Facility and Project Type section displays the projects in the site that have been
organized according to these two project data fields. This table is not representative of all
the projects within the site, only those that have been given a Facility Type and a Project
Type. There may be many other projects in the site. The Site Executive Summary displays
a complete listing of all projects within a site.
In the following screen shot there is a facility type of Library. Reading across that row you
can see that there are 2 library projects, one is of the Project Type city government, and
the other is school. The total number of library projects is 2. The total number of city
government projects is 1 and the total number of school projects is 1.
