Dashboard

The Dashboard is your starting point in Line Budgeter. It provides a snapshot of your projects, along with news, updates, and quick access to key areas of the application.

Dashboard


Quick List

When you first begin, this area displays a placeholder image until you create your first budget. An example budget is also included to help you explore the powerful features of Line Budgeter.

The Quick List contains three sections:

  • Recent
    Displays the 15 most recently opened budgets. You can also pin important budgets so they remain easily accessible.

  • Pinned
    Displays only budgets that you have pinned to the Dashboard.

  • Shared with Me
    Displays the most recent budget files shared with you by other users.


Newsblock

The Newsblock displays informational cards featuring updates, announcements, tax incentive news, and other relevant information about Line Budgeter.


My Library

The My Library section provides quick access to:

  • Project Library
    A file manager used to organize and manage your budget files.

  • Shared with Me
    Access budgets shared with you in a dedicated workspace.

  • Element Library
    Create, manage, and organize elements available across all your budgets.

  • Ratebooks
    Purchase and view ratebooks containing hiring information and regional rates. Ratebooks integrate directly into your budgets for faster rate entry.


Resources

The Resources section provides quick access to:

  • Line Docs
    Opens the Line Budgeter Documentation site (you’re here now!), where you can browse Getting Started guides, User Guides, Keyboard Shortcuts, Release Notes, and support resources.

Dashboard


Profile Switching

Line Budgeter allows you to work with both:

  • Your personal Project Library
  • Shared Workspaces

These environments are separate. Use the Profile Switcher to move between them.

Dashboard

The Profile Switcher only appears if you have a personal Project Library and are a member of at least one Workspace.
