If this is something that people are using is it possible to share some examples for inspiration?
@BTM When I worked in the field still, there were a couple ways that I would create a Dashboard type document in Bluebeam.
The fanciest is to make what Bluebeam calls a Digital Dashboard. Basically a fancy PDF with graphics that you link to resources/plans/files/sites/etc. You can link it all to a Studio Project where you keep files if you like.
I wold do it this way for a big project or one that was going to last a long time and needed a polished look.

I was usually too busy to make something fancy on a regular basis, so in those cases, I would just make a PDF with some instructions, maybe load a necessary Profile (.bpx) ot Teool Set (.btx) right into the PDF, add some text hyperlinks to the resources or to my Studio Project and then I would email it out, or attach it as a cover sheet in a Session, or load it as the first document anyone saw in my Studio Project. Way easier, but not as slick looking.
Oh yes, I made a sort of user's guide dashboard for my BB Project where we are hosting our conformed sets. It's been a big hit and a huge time saver. Those links provided above should give you all you need to know.
This is a great place and I am looking to set up a template for my teams projects. I am an architect, so this will be slightly different than on the construction end. Appreciate the links.
I've made several, and believe it or not, our Production Manager thinks they're a complete waste of time.
If you really want to have fun, create it first in PowerPoint, so much more design options, and then export to PDF. I think my favourite one is one that I designed in the Star Trek LCARS format.
Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…
What is up with the invisible text while editing a markup? This has been a recurring and persistent phenomenon that has remained through several updates of the BB subscription, over perhaps the last year. I create a markup with text, I double-click to edit said text and it becomes INVISIBLE (but is still there). I click…
Hi All, I accidentally added a layer at the end of the long list of existing layers. Has anyone found a way to reorder the layer list? I would also like to hide one of the layers I created by default and open it only when I need it. Is this possible? Thank you ahead, Ian
Here is my issue folks - clicking on a web link in a document does not open in the default browser, but in one of my other installed browsers. This behavior is experienced only with Bluebeam and one Trimble software, the rest of my installed applications obey my default browser setting. Has anyone encountered such issue…
I have recently upgraded to Revu 21 but the markup tools are greyed out so i am unable to use them. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be?
I used to know I two-key keyboard shortcut to re-size a cloud mark-up to more closely fit the text block it surrounds. I have forgotten it and can't find any information on it online. Can anyone help? Thanks
I'm trying to create a form that requires both signatures and initials. However, I can't seem to find a way to format the field for just initials. Is there a better way to do this other than using a text box?
Our department has recently begun implementing BlueBeam; however, we've encountered some challenges with registering our team members. I’ve been using the administrator account to send out registration emails, but I am currently unable to proceed. Each attempt results in the following error message: "There was a problem…
