FAQ
Q: What should I do if the dashboard doesn't load? A: Ensure you're logged in with the correct credentials and have internet access. Try refreshing the page or switching devices.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard view? A: Yes, use filters and settings in the overview and tasks sections to personalize what data is displayed based on your role.
Q: What if I don't see certain sections like Bids or Timesheets? A: This may depend on your role permissions; contact your admin to grant access if needed.
Q: Do filters stay in place if they aren't custom? A: No, non-custom filters in BuilderPal are personal and do not stay in place—they reset when you log out, refresh the page, or switch devices. To persist them, save as a custom view if the feature is available in your role.
Tips
- Pro tip or best practice: Combine multiple filters (e.g., status + date) for more precise results, and use custom groups to save common views.
- Shortcut or time saver: Use the search bar next to filters for keyword-based quick filtering without opening the menu.
