Navigating the Vantage dashboard

How to find your way around the Vantage web dashboard.

The sidebar

The left sidebar is your main navigation in Vantage

Your personal and team task list, with tasks from across events, projects, and opportunities.

Schedule

A timeline view showing who is working on what and when. Internal teams and vendors side by side.

Opportunities

Your sales pipeline: potential deals before they become projects.

Projects

Where you coordinate jobs. Each project brings together the events, tasks, and people involved.

Events

Your day-to-day work: list and calendar views of all individual jobs.

Media

A centralized file library for all photos and documents, organized by client.

Incidents

Issues reported during field work, tracked across all events.

Timesheets

Hours your team logs against events, reviewed and approved weekly.

Invoices

Vendor invoice management: review, approve, or reject invoices from subcontractors.

Addresses

Reusable locations that can be linked to events and assets.

Clients

Everyone you do work for, with their contacts, assets, projects, and documents.

Vendors

Your subcontractor relationships: profiles, coverage areas, and event types.

★ May need to be enabled for your workspace. Availability depends on your Vantage plan.

At the bottom of the sidebar, the gear icon opens Workspace Settings, where admins configure event types, project statuses, task lists, and more.

The top bar

The top bar is always visible, no matter which page you are on:

Global search (center)

Search across events, clients, projects, and assets. Does not search file names or file contents.

Notifications bell (right)

Shows your @mentions, page activity, and page invites. You can toggle between Only Unreads and All.

Get help (right)

Opens the help widget where you can check system status, message support, and search help articles.

Drawers

When you click any record in Vantage (an event, project, client, or asset) a drawer slides open from the right. This is where you view and edit all details.

Each drawer has a header with the status, title, and ID at the top, and tabs below. The tabs you see depend on what you opened. For example, events have Info, Docs, Comments, Issues, Photos, and Completion.

Drawers can open on top of each other. If you open an asset from inside a client, the asset drawer opens on top. Click the back arrow or click outside to close.

Views

Several pages offer multiple ways to look at your data:

List view

A table with sortable columns, filters, and bulk actions. Available on most pages.

Board view

Cards organized in columns by status, so you can see work move from stage to stage. Available on Projects and Opportunities.

Calendar view

A day/week/month calendar showing events as color-coded blocks. Available on Events.

Toggle between views using the icons in the top-right corner of each page.

Saved views and filters

Use + Add filter to narrow what you see on any page. You can apply multiple filters at once.

To save your current setup (filters, column order, and which columns are visible) for quick re-use, click Saved views then + Add new view.

My views

Personal, visible only to you.

Shared views

Visible to everyone in the workspace.

Saved views are available on Tasks, Schedule, Projects, Events, Incidents, Timesheets, and Vendors.

FAQ

How do I change which page loads when I log in?

Go to the profile gear (top right), select Account settings, then set your preferred home page under General.

Why can I not see some sidebar items?

Sidebar items only appear if the feature is enabled for your workspace. Check with your workspace admin if a page is missing.

How do I find a specific event or client?

Use global search in the top bar. Type a name or ID and it will search across events, clients, projects, and assets.

How do I change what information I see on the page?

Open Saved views, click the pencil icon on an existing view or create a new one. In the edit panel you can show, hide, reorder, and pin the fields displayed in the table.

Can other people on my team see my saved views?

Only if you create a shared view. Views you create under My views are personal and visible only to you.

Where do I manage my notification settings?

Go to the profile gear (top right), select Account settings, and look for the notification preferences section.
