Overview Tab

The Overview tab serves two functions.  The first is to provide a project landing page to orient you to the project and provide some interesting metrics regarding data use.  The second is the Asset Registry which acts as a central repository where you can register and manage project data (which we refer to as Assets).    Assets can be added by simple drag-and-drop or by more sophisticated integrations with Autodesk and other product platforms.

Page Elements:

  1. Project Photo – show off the latest visualization for the project team
  2. Dashboard Information – metrics such as data storage size and Asset information can be found here
  3. Asset Repository – all project assets reside and are managed here.  All Assets are versioned and hashed for record keeping in Collections and for File Look Up.  Selecting an Asset in this window will take you to detailed information page sharing information about its provenance within Concert.

Collections Tab

Simply put, a Collection is a “package” or “container” to put your Assets into for the purposes of exchanging them with other project stakeholders using the Issues feature (see next section).

Collections also form the basis of the blockchain smart contracts that Concert creates to provide an immutable record and proof of ownership of your valuable work.

Collections are easy to build and can contain one or thousands of Assets with no size limitations.

Page Elements:

  1. Table of Collections  – a list of all Staged and Created Collections related to the Project
  2. Collection – information about each Collection including number of Assets, Signatures and Time Stamp.  Selecting a Collection will take you to a detailed information page.
  3. Create New Collection – a button that starts a wizard to help you build a new Collection for exchanging Assets with others.

Issues Tab

Issues are where collaboration happens and communications breaks away from the fragmented world of email.   With Issues, the Assets and the decisions come together on a single page so that all participants can literally stay on the same page as the conversation and the shared information coalesces into a final result.

Every Issue comes with a unique identifier so it can be tracked.   Within each Issue participants are assigned roles as basic recipients or given tasks such as a Reviewer or Signatory to formally sign-off on the work.   Regardless of role, every participant can communicate using the channel based messaging and every visit is time stamped so everyone knows when a participant last visited the Issue.

Issue Landing Page and Workflow Page Elements:

  1. +New Issue button  – opens a dialog box to create a new issue
  2. Table of Issues – the master list of all Issues with status information
  3. Sort Filters – manage the list to find the issue you are looking for
  4. Issue Overview – all the basic information about the issue
  5. Reference Collection – where you access the Assets for exchange and collaboration.  A participant will go here to access the Assets and download them.
  6. Event History – a time stamped messaging channel where participants can share messages and files and Issue events are recorded
  7. Reviewers / Signatures / Participants – where recipients are populated with their roles.   All recipients will reflect a last visited status and Reviewers and Signatories will show additional status information regarding completion of their assigned task.
