When setting up your jobsite in MindForge, you’ll see two different tabs: Jobsite Admins and the Project Team. Here’s how they work and when to use each.

Jobsite Admins

What they can do:

  • Manage everything on the jobsite dashboard (add, edit, or update details).

  • Send messages to the entire jobsite or to specific teams.

  • Assign orientations or training to the jobsite

  • Manage profiles of members of the jobsite

Best for:

  • Project managers, supervisors, safety, or anyone responsible for overall jobsite communication and updates.

The Project Team

What it is:

  • A private, designated team within MindForge for project leaders

  • Appears in its own tab, separate from the list of standard teams.

Key things to know:

  • The Project Team is not listed as a team in the Jobsite Join Instructions.

  • Workers cannot join this team after scanning the jobsite join code.

  • Members must be invited or added directly with a join code.

Best for:

  • Creating a focused group to message your core project leaders without sending updates to the entire jobsite.

In Summary

  • Jobsite Admins: Oversee the whole jobsite, keep information up to date, and send sitewide or teamwide messages or training.

  • Project Team: A private team for targeted communication with invited project members only.

By using both together, you’ll keep communication organized. Anyone who needs permission to message every user on the site needs to be a jobsite admin. The project team is a group for focused messages to be shared with the Project Leaders.
