Dashboard Overview
Learn how to navigate the Foreman dashboard, including sidebar tools, recent projects, and quick actions for managing Autodesk Construction Cloud projects.
Overview
The Foreman dashboard is your central hub for managing Autodesk Construction Cloud projects. After completing the onboarding wizard, you land here every time you sign in. This article walks through the main areas of the interface.
Sidebar Navigation
The sidebar on the left side of the screen provides access to all major sections of Foreman:
- File Browser — Browse and manage files across your ACC projects with a two-panel explorer layout.
- Project Members — View, add, and manage members across your projects.
- Create Project Folders — Use the Project Matrix wizard to deploy standardized folder structures.
- Access Requests — Review and process access requests from team members.
- Scheduled Jobs — View and manage your scheduled tasks such as recurring folder validations.
Administrators will also see an Admin section in the sidebar with links to system settings, user management, and scheduled job administration.
You can collapse the sidebar by clicking the toggle icon at the top to give yourself more working space when browsing files.
Recent Projects
The main area of the dashboard displays your recently accessed projects. Each project card shows:
- The project name and associated hub
- Last accessed date
- Quick-action buttons to jump directly into the File Browser or Project Members view
Quick Actions
At the top of the dashboard you will find shortcut buttons for common tasks:
- Browse Files — Open the File Browser for a selected project.
- Create Folders — Launch the Project Matrix wizard to deploy a folder structure.
- Manage Members — Jump to the Project Members page.
Notifications
Foreman surfaces important notifications such as pending access requests, completed scheduled jobs, and folder validation results. Check the notification area regularly to stay on top of actions that need your attention.
Access requests that require your review will appear as a badge count on the Access Requests sidebar link.
