Each project in Dubsado is organized into different sections that help you manage client communication, invoices, scheduling, and more.


Project tabs

Each project is organized into seven tabs located at the top of the page. Clicking a tab header will take you to that specific section of the project.

Every project has the same tabs:

  • Details

  • Messages

  • Invoicing

  • Tasks

  • Events

  • Forms

  • Flows

  • Notes

Clicking a tab header will take you to that specific section of the project.


Details tab

The Details tab displays all essential information about the project. It can be viewed in full screen, or it can be collapsed as a sidebar. It can even be hidden completely so you can maximize your workspace.

No matter your preference, the system will use the view mode (expanded or collapsed) the next time you reenter a project.

At the top of this section, you can click the project title to edit the title. You can also click the banner or icon to set a custom banner and icon for the project.

The three dots icon at the top of the Details tab allows you to archive or delete the project.

Project info

Within the project info column, you can view and update the following details:

  • Project date: click to set or update

    • Toggle the Show as busy setting to prevent scheduler appointments from being booked during the project date

  • Location: click to set or update

  • Project status: click to update the project’s current status

  • Tags: view or apply tags, or create a new tag

  • Project source: view the project’s source, or create a new project source.

  • Assignees: assign teammates to the project, or view the teammates currently assigned.

  • Project creation date: the date that the project was created in Dubsado.

  • Contract: view or add a contract to the project. Also shows the status of the contract and if it's been countersigned.

  • Invoice: displays the amount paid and total of the project's primary invoice

  • Custom fields: view or edit any custom project fields

Click the Project info header to collapse or expand this section.

Client info

Below Project info, the client's info is displayed. Client details can include:

  • Client name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Company name

  • Any additional client details saved in the address book

  • Custom client fields

  • Click the pencil icon to update client information.

Click the Client info header to collapse or expand this section.

Portal

Next, the client portal information is displayed. Click the Portal header to collapse or expand this section.

  • Portal status: use the toggle at the top of this section to activate or deactivate the client portal for the project

  • Share the client portal: view the client portal in a new tab, copy the client portal link, or send the client portal link via email

  • Password: set a custom password for this client's portal

  • Banner: upload a banner for the client portal

Activity

At the bottom of the details sidebar or on the right side of the full page view, use the Activity section to view all actions that have taken place within this project.

Each action is recorded with the time and date the action occurred, as well as the teammate who completed the action.


Messages tab

The Messages tab allows you to manage all email communication related to the project.

The Inbox, Sent, Archived, and Unread messages views make it easy to keep track of client conversations. You can search for specific emails using the search bar, filter emails by date, compose and send emails, or even reassign existing email threads to different projects from this tab.


Invoicing tab

The Invoicing tab allows you to handle all financial aspects of the project.

You can create new invoices, add payment plans, and view or record payments as they are received. If you need to track expenses or create recurring invoices, you can manage those within this section as well.


Tasks tab

The Tasks tab helps you keep track of project-related to-dos.

Here, you can add individual tasks to organize and plan your work. Tasks can be filtered by due date, assignee, or progress, making it easy to see what needs to be completed.


Events tab

The Events tab allows you to manage project-specific events and all appointments related to the project.

From here, you can send appointment scheduling requests using your existing scheduler templates, book an appointment on behalf of the client, view and manage scheduled appointments, or create internal events that aren’t client-facing.


Forms tab

The Forms tab is where you can manage all forms related to the project.

You can add existing form templates, send forms directly to your clients, and customize forms within the project. Additionally, this section also allows you to create brand-new forms from scratch, upload PDFs, and track the status of forms that have already been applied to the project.


Flows tab

The Flows tab is where you can apply and manage automation for your project.

You can select a workflow template to apply and manage any workflows that are currently running. Workflows allow you to automate processes such as sending emails, applying tags, and moving projects through different project statuses.


Notes tab

The Notes tab allows you to store important details related to the project.

This tab is great for recording general notes for internal reference, or for creating call log notes to keep track of client conversations. Notes in this section remain within the project for future reference.
