What does the Dashboard show?

Your project, plan and measurement counts, your most recent projects, and quick actions to start a new project, see all your projects, or get help.

Can I get into a project from the Dashboard?

Yes. Each recent project has a card you can open straight into the job, and All Projects is one click away in the quick actions.

Can I start a new job from the Dashboard?

Yes. Use New Project in the quick actions to create a project and upload your PDF plan, then start measuring.

Is the Dashboard on the free plan?

Yes. Every plan has the Dashboard, including Free. The paid plans raise the limits on projects, plans and markups, so your counts can keep growing.

Is it useful if I only have a few jobs?

Yes. Even with a handful of jobs it saves you digging through folders, because the project you were working on sits right on the first screen.

Where do I see everything, not just recent projects?

Go to All Projects from the quick actions or the Projects menu to see every project in your workspace.

Does it replace my folders of PDF plans?

For measuring, yes. Upload each plan into a project once and it lives in MetreMate from then on, so the Dashboard becomes where you start instead of a folder on your desktop.

Can I check my projects away from the office?

Yes. MetreMate runs in any modern browser on a Windows or Mac computer with nothing to install, so your Dashboard is wherever you log in, including a laptop at the jobsite.

The old way

No home base, more hunting

When every plan lives in a different folder, getting back into the right job means remembering where you saved it, and new jobs start with a round of file shuffling.

Why it’s better with MetreMate

One place to start every session

Dashboard puts your numbers, your recent projects and the way to start a new one on the first screen, so you spend your time measuring rather than looking for the plan.
