Using the Project Status Pane

You can get a sense of how your firm's projects are progressing using the Project Status pane. This pane displays a graphical overview of your firm's active Workstream projects. You can apply filters to limit the project information by project type or by template. You can also filter by office.

For more in-depth information, you also can drill down to view the list of projects at each status. From this drill-down view, you can open a project or route sheet. You can also update the status or file holder for the project.

Note: Internal and completed projects are excluded from the Project Status pane graphs.

To use the Project Status pane, first add it to your Dashboard. Then, select filters to determine which projects are included in the graph. To apply filters, do the following:
