When opening a project, the project details page appears. This page contains everything you need to monitor and manage your project. The following elements are present:
-
The project information bar
The project information bar contains basic information on the project and is always visible. Apart from basic project information, the 'back' button in the left brings you back to the project overview, and a context menu on the right allows you to perform actions on the project.
-
The project content selector
Allows you to toggle between the different screens that are relevant for the project. See the chapter 'screens' below for more information on the different views. This bar can be collapsed so more space is available for the actual content.
-
The main screen
This is where you can see and interact with the active project content. See below for more information.
Change Actor / Change due date
For every task individually, there is the option to change the actor and the due date. This is found in the context menu for every task with status that is not "Done". To change the actor for multiple actors at once, you can use the Tasks module.
Tasks view
When opening a project, this is the first view you will see. It shows the different tasks of the project, including their status and the history.
The tasks are organized in groups. By default all tasks in all groups are visible, but the tree on the left (1) allows you to browse through the project structure. The breadcrumb (4) on top shows you which group is selected.
The tasks view contains a progress indicator (2) that shows the number of tasks done, active and pending, the project progress and visually indicates the number of overdue tasks.
The task list shows all tasks in the project, ordered chronologically. From here, you can see the status, open the details of active, busy and done tasks, or re-assign tasks to different actors. The view is configurable and you can select the columns that are relevant for you. Additionally, it is possible to do basic searching in this module.
When opening active, busy or done tasks that are not assigned to you, the task execution is opened in read-only mode. This means that the content of a task can be viewed, but not changed. The task can also not be finished. These actions are still only available for the actors assigned to the task.
The exception to this is the "change actor" action. This is available in the task execution for everyone that has the change actor right.
Assets view
The assets view shows the content of the projects assets folder. You can browse, sort and see the asset details, both in grid and list view, and perform a quick search. The interface is very similar to the assets interface. For details on the functionality, see Working with Assets for more details on how this screen works.
The screen shows the project folder, but also the linked assets, via the 'other assets' tab. The 'other assets' tab can be considered as a read-only virtual folder where are elements linked to the project are shown.
Gantt chart
The gantt chart contains a classical gantt representation of the project.
Metadata
The metadata tab gives an overview of all forms submitted in the project. It contains the content of the project metadata form, but also any other form that was filled. The metadata can be edited or exported as PDF.
Comments
The Comments view keeps all conversation about a project in one place, inside the project details. Anyone with access to the project can follow the discussion, reply, and attach supporting files, without leaving DOQMIND.
Opening the Comments view
Open a project to reach the project details, then select Comments in the project content selector. The view shows the full comment history for that project, newest first.
Writing a comment
Type your message in the editor at the bottom of the view and post it. The editor supports basic rich-text formatting. Your comment appears in the feed immediately, with your name and the time it was posted.
Editing and deleting your comments
You can edit or delete comments you posted yourself. An edited comment is marked as edited, with the time of the edit shown. A deleted comment stays in the feed as a [deleted] placeholder, so the surrounding conversation keeps its context.
Adding attachments and screenshots
You can add files to a comment in two ways: upload a file from your device, or paste a screenshot directly from your clipboard into the editor. Images are shown inline in the feed; other file types appear as a chip you can download. There are no restrictions on file type or size for an individual attachment, but every attachment counts toward your organisation's storage quota.
Unread comments
New comments you have not seen are marked as unread. Opening the Comments view marks all comments in the feed as read.
Searching and filtering
Use the search and filters at the top of the view to find specific comments. You can search by comment text and filter by author and by date range. The filters combine, so you can narrow to one author within a specific date range, for example.
Exporting comments
You can export the full comment history of a project to PDF, including its attachments. This gives you a single shareable record of the conversation.
Who can use comments
Access to comments is controlled by two project rights:
-
View and edit comments on own projects makes the Comments view available on projects where you are the project manager.
-
View and edit comments on all projects makes the Comments view available on every project.
Editing and deleting are always limited to your own comments, regardless of which right you hold. See Projects Rights for the full list of project rights.
Existing comments
Comments created before this view existed are available here as well, with their original author and date preserved.
