Shell or Project
The Shell page, or the Project page, has two modes:
- The User mode
- The Admin mode
A shell is a “container” in which users can organize entities, such as projects or facilities. This shell is where users can organize business information in one place to make managing it easy. A shell can include the functions and features necessary to manage the information in that shell, such as a Schedule Manager, a Document Manager, and a Cost Manager.
Standard “projects” work in a similar manner. The difference is that a shell is not required to function like a time-based project. A shell can encompass a static entity, such as a university campus, where maintenance activities are on-going. An example of such a shell could encompass a college campus in order to track building maintenance and new additions. You could include a Space Manager for improvements and remodeling, a Document Manager for all the documents and drawings necessary for new additions, and a Generic Cost Manager for costing functions.
Shells can be arranged in hierarchies to represent a company's physical or organizational structure, such as:
- State
- City
- Property
- Building
Shell Dashboard
A dashboard that is accessible at the shell level and can be used to view data within a particular shell hierarchy. There are several types of shell dashboard: My Dashboard or Shell Instance Dashboard.
