The Project Overview page in Fabritec provides a configurable dashboard for monitoring the execution status of a selected project.It brings key project data into one view, including production progress, shipping progress, erection progress, item weight, lifecycle status, backlog, tasks, quality control, rework, and dispatch activity.Instead of opening each project module separately, users can use the Overview page to understand the current project status quickly and decide where action is needed.With Project Overview Widgets, you can:Monitor overall project progress
Filter project data by selected phases
Review total weight, in-production weight, finished weight, shipped weight, and erected weight
Analyze lifecycle distribution across project stages
Locate backlog by production stage
Add widgets based on your role and workflow
Remove widgets that are not needed
Switch between saved dashboard views

Best Practices#
Select the Correct Project and Phases First#
Before reviewing widget data, confirm:This ensures that the displayed data matches the scope you want to review.Keep the Overview Focused#
Avoid adding every widget to one dashboard.Start with the widgets that answer the most important project questions:What is still in production?
What is waiting for shipping?
Which stages have backlog?
Are there pending inspections?
Is rework affecting progress?
Are dispatches scheduled or overdue?
Save Layouts by Review Type#
Create saved dashboards for different review needs.This allows each team to open the view that matches its daily work.When adding or removing widgets, click Save Changes to apply the updated layout.Then use Save if you want to store the layout as a named dashboard setting.Use Switch Instead of Rebuilding Dashboards#
If you review the same project from different angles, save multiple layouts and use Switch.This is faster than adding and removing widgets manually.Review QC and Rework Together#
QC and rework are closely connected.Use QC widgets with rework widgets to understand whether rejected work is affecting project progress.Before confirming dispatches, review:This helps confirm what is ready, what is scheduled, and what may be overdue.
