What This Video Covers

This orientation tutorial introduces the Matidor main dashboard to new users and walks through each key section of the interface. The goal is to help anyone starting with Matidor understand where core features live, how the map and navigation panel connect, and where to find help resources — so you can start managing your first project without getting lost in the interface.

Who This Is For

This video is specifically for new Matidor users who have just signed in for the first time, team members being onboarded by their organization, and anyone who wants a quick orientation on the main dashboard layout before diving into specific features.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The tutorial starts with the live map in the center of the dashboard — the visual core of Matidor where all project pins are plotted. Project pins are color-coded based on status or project type, making it easy to scan a large portfolio at a glance. You learn how to zoom in and out, switch between standard and satellite map views, and click a pin to open a project summary panel.

Next, the tutorial covers the Navigation Panel on the left side of the screen, which provides access to Portfolios, Projects, Work Items, Budgets, GIS Layers, Files, and Reports. The Personal Feed section shows your most recent tasks, comments, and approvals so you can see what requires your attention without manually checking each project. The tutorial also shows how to use the global search bar to find any project, work item, or document by keyword, and how to access in-app support guides through the help icon.

Key Takeaways

The Matidor dashboard is organized around the live map, a navigation panel, and a personal activity feed. Once you understand where portfolios, projects, work items, budgets, and GIS layers live in the navigation, you can move through the platform efficiently and access any feature within a few clicks.
