How Do I Access the Project Status Dashboard, What Does It Show, and How Do Project Cards Work?

The Project Status Dashboard provides a complete, visual overview of every project in your company and where it currently sits in your workflow. It helps your team quickly identify which jobs are new, which ones need attention, and which ones are in production or completed. With status-based columns, project cards, filtering tools, and quick-action options, this dashboard serves as one of the most powerful management tools inside Albi.

How to Access the Project Status Dashboard

You can access the Project Status Dashboard directly from the main sidebar.

Steps:

  1. Go to the left-hand sidebar.
  2. Click Dashboard.
  3. A dropdown menu will appear.
  4. Select Statuses.

This will open the full Project Status Dashboard where you can view all project status columns and manage your projects.

 

What the Project Status Dashboard Shows

The dashboard is organized into distinct status columns, each representing a stage in your project pipeline. Projects automatically appear and move into these columns based on their assigned status threshold.

Within each column, projects are automatically sorted by their most recent activity date.
Projects with the oldest activity appear at the top, and projects with the most recent activity appear at the bottom of the column.

This ordering helps you quickly identify projects that have not had recent updates and may need attention.

Common status columns include:

  • New
  • Estimate Complete
  • Scheduled
  • In Production
  • Closed
  • Lost
  • (Additional statuses depending on your company’s setup)

Each project appears as a project card containing important project details at a glance, such as the project name, type, assigned staff, and dates.

The column allows you to:

  • See the total number of projects in each status



How to View Project Cards

Every project in the dashboard appears as a card within the status column it belongs to.

Project Card Features

A project card typically shows:

  • Project name
  • Project type
  • Assigned staff
  • Subtype (if applicable)
