Dashboard
Open the project and know where it stands.
Most project dashboards are a wall of widgets. This one shows the state of the current set, what is waiting on you, and the two ways in: Open the LODE when something is ready to issue, Sketch Paper when it is not. Thirty seconds, then you are working.
The project dashboard is where a project opens: the state of the current set, what is waiting on you, recent files by kind, and the two ways in.

Sketch Paper
Sketch, trace, repeat
Dashboard is a tab on every LODE project, not a separate product. It works from the same drawing set, so nothing has to be exported to it.
What does the project dashboard show?
How many sheets are current and which issuance they run through. What needs you: RFIs in your court, submittals returned, pay apps in review. Recent files by kind, one click away. Open the LODE to issue, Sketch Paper to think, and a project switcher that keeps your place.
The set, at a glance
How many sheets are current, which issuance they run through, and whether anything is waiting for review, before you scroll anywhere.
Open the LODE
The one way to issue. Bring drawings, specs and supplements in, build an issuance and set it in stone, or issue directly. Nothing is added to the set by accident.
Sketch Paper, beside it
For thinking that is not ready to issue. The canvas is one click from every dashboard.
What needs you
RFIs in your court, submittals returned, pay apps in review, listed on the dashboard. LODE does not fill your inbox to get your attention.
Recent files
What the project touched last: issuances, sketches, submittal packages, field photos, each labelled by kind and one click away.
Every project, one switch
The project switcher keeps your place. Jump between jobs and land where you left off, not back at a lobby.
The first five minutes, done for you.
How does the dashboard save the first five minutes?
The first five minutes of a session usually go to working out what came in, what went out and who is waiting. The dashboard does that for you: recent files by kind, open items by urgency, the set’s status in one line.
- Recent activity across drawings, specs, CA records and Sketch Paper saves
- Open items ranked by who is waiting and for how long
- The current set’s status without opening a sheet
- Open the LODE and Sketch Paper, one click away
Who is the dashboard for?
Anyone opening the project: the architect checking what came in, the consultant looking for what is in their court, the principal switching between jobs without losing their place.
Frequently asked questions
Does LODE send email notifications?
Notifications stay in the app, on the dashboard and in the Notifications page. LODE does not fill inboxes to get your attention.
How do I bring drawings in?
Open the LODE from the dashboard. Bring drawings, specs and supplements in, build an issuance and set it in stone, or issue directly.
What counts as "waiting on me"?
RFIs in your court, submittals returned to you, pay applications in review, and anything else routed to you, ranked by who is waiting and for how long.
Can I see more than one project at once?
The dashboard is per project; the project list and the Hub's firm view show every project together. The switcher keeps your place in each.
