We have a project area because we are committed to an open, collaborative (democratic, if you will) design process. This project area is a place for us to brainstorm and create your website. Once we begin a project, you will receive a username and password. Anywhere you have internet access, you can send messages and review your project’s deadlines (milestones), to-dos, message boards, as well as contact information for everyone collaborating on the website production.

Logging In

Log-in at the top of our website (click Project Log-in) or go directly to https://needmore.clientsection.com. To login, enter your username and password (all are lower case).

The Tabs

Overview

The Overview tab is exactly that ? an overview of the project. On the left hand side of the page is the upcoming milestones or milestones due in the next 14 days, to-do&s (both open and closed) and messages. You will also notice a list of everyone that has access to the project.

Messages

The message board is where we will post details of the project. Messages fall within categories such as hosting, planning, design and so on. Messages can be viewed all together or by a specific category. You can also post a new message or comment on previously posted messages. Sometimes you will receive an email from the project system that a new message has been posted. When posting new messages or comments, you can choose (or not) who you want notified of the new message.

To-Do List

To-Dos are our list of things to do. Here, you will see our list of upcoming tasks for your project. There will also be “to-do” assigned to you. These will have a background of yellow and have your name (or company next to it). If a to-do is assigned to you, you can check it off when it’s completed.

Milestones

This tab will allow you to view milestones setup for the project. Milestones are important dates such as due dates and meeting times. Messages can also be linked to a specific milestone. On the milestone tab, the message linked will be listed below the milestone entry.

Color codes: The milestones are color-coded on the calendar for easy scanning.

• Yellow is for upcoming milestones
• Red is for late milestones
• Green is for completed milestones
• Blue is for today

People

This tab will allow you to view all the people associated with the project. It includes contact information for each of us at Needmore Designs.

Dashboard

You will only see the Dashboard if we collaborate on more than one project. The Dashboard or home page is the summary page for all projects that we have in progress with you at any given time. On this page you will see upcoming milestones (also known as due dates). If there is a due date within the current 14 days, it will be listed in a calendar.

On the left hand side is the open projects that we have on file. If there is only one project active for you, the extranet will open into the Overview and the Dashboard will not show. To start, click on any project you will be transferred into the Overview of the project.
