Thousands of organizations around the world have come to rely on ProjectCenter’s wide array of easy-to-use features, including:
-
Project Dashboard View: See all projects on which you are a team member from a single screen. View all action items assigned to you, all new project information as well as bulletins and other notices from a single, consolidated dashboard. Enter a specific project and see comprehensive information about that project on a similar, easily navigated screen.
-
Project Templates: Ensure consistent project delivery by defining standard project templates including folder structures, team members, security and workflow.
-
Project Directory: Store participants’ addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail and other contact information in a central location so team members can easily stay in touch.
-
Project Calendar: Schedule meetings and notify team members automatically using the built-in project calendar.
-
Cross-Project Reporting Create custom reports that gather information from one or multiple projects. Project managers can easily find out how many RFIs are overdue or where an approval stands.
-
Meeting Minutes: Track project meeting information from one meeting to another, helping all meeting members keep track of issues. Organize minutes by issue, team role, or your own categories; change and add categories at any time; track attendees, action items and associated documents; and publish the minutes link to attendees via e-mail.
-
Configurable Forms: Create forms that define what project-specific information is to be captured and how it will be presented to the project team. A wizard walks you through the process. You can easily change Text, Drop-down, Date and Memo fields; attached documents; notify users; and quickly enter and edit information directly from the project log.
-
Document Viewing: View over 200 commonly used document formats in a standard Web browser without having to buy applications or install plug-ins.
-
Document Management and History: Track all user actions on documents – such as uploading, downloading or viewing. Lock files to prohibit others from making changes, while allowing them to view and download the document.
-
Cross-Project Document Search: Retrieve documents across multiple projects using a single keyword.
-
Flexible Folder Creation: Create and name folders and sub-folders for documents to help organize their projects to reflect the way they really work on a project.
-
CAD Viewing and Redlining: View, print and redline AutoCAD and MicroStation drawings and their associated reference files without installing AutoCAD, MicroStation or plug-ins. When AutoCAD files are uploaded to enter, the user has the ability to automatically search and upload associated X-Ref files.
-
Update Notification: Subscribe to folders in order to be notified of changes to the content. Team members can choose to be updated immediately, daily, or weekly, thus avoiding working on outdated information.
-
Fax In: Send information to a project using a standard fax machine. Since the faxed document is stored in digital format as part of the project documentation, other team members can view the document from their Web browsers.
-
Security and Access Configuration: Specify default access rights per user (such as whether a team member is authorized to view, download or modify information), which can be further specified according to application and directory.
-
Localized Versions: ProjectCenter is available in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Hebrew, allowing local project team members to work with the system in their native language.
