Learn about your home dashboard

Everything starts from the home dashboard. It is the first page you will see when you log in to the app. Matidor’s dashboard is smart and shows you the relevant information about what is going on around you.

Example of the home dashboard

You have access to the following from the left pane:

  • Home
  • Watched Projects
  • Data Management
  • Project Groups
  • User Management
  • Apps and Integrations 
  • Subscription & Usage
  • Project Templates (only available for administrators)

The left pane reappears in the same place when you navigate inside a project.

Matidor Tip: Close or open the left pane by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines on the left hand of the search box when you want to see the map better.

  1. Add it to your watched project.

What is a project

A project can be any group of activities in a certain location, such as a wellsite, facility, pipeline or building. A project can have forms, tasks, budgets, files and map drawings of that location.

The minimum requirements for defining a project on Matidor are project name and project location. The system then assigns a pin on the map once you define a project.
