Modules

What is each BIMcollab Twin module about? 

BIMcollab Twin consist of multiple modules in the Project Environment. The functionality of each module is tailored to the specific phase of a building life cycle: from design to use and management. Different plans have different modules available, which you can view on the comparison page.

The different modules can be turned on or off per user role so that users have the functionalities needed for their role. 

1. My projects (1): each user has their own overview of all accounts and projects they have access to. The My projects section is turned off/on by clicking on My projects icon.
   

Project activities and actions

1. Dashboard (2): the dashboard provides a summary of all latest information for a selected location, project or phase.
2. Documents (3): different files can be classified and uploaded in this module.
3. To do's (4): this module provides an overview of different communication items that can be created in BIMcollab Twin.
   
4. Realization (5): the realization module is used to review and approve/reject documents that are ready for implementation.

Horizontal Menu bar

We are transitioning the module structure from a vertical menu to a horizontal bar to ensure visual consistency across all BIMcollab products. Temporarily, both vertical and horizontal menus will be available to help you adjust to the new layout. The horizontal menu includes the following modules: My Projects (1), Dashboard (2), Model (3), Documents (4), To Do's (5), and Settings (6). All modules are found in both the vertical and horizontal menus and are explained above, except for the Model module:

1. Model (3): This module takes you to the BIMcollab Model WebViewer, where you can view your IFC or IFC.zip models and link objects to your documents.
   

Recent changes to modules:  

Communication module is renamed to "To do's". 
Realization is merged with Documents module now. Both of the modules show the same window but Documents module opens the documents overview and Realization goes to documents for approval. 

Workflows used to be a separate module among others that hosts all active workflows within the project or project phase. Now you can find the same information under the Settings module.
