On April 9th, we launched a brand new Project Home page for next generation BIM 360.
Why Project Home?
Project Home provides a unified view into important, relevant, and actionable information from across BIM 360 to our users. This allows you to quickly evaluate areas that require attention for you or your team. From Project Home, you can easily navigate to other BIM 360 modules to continue your work. This is a part of our efforts to make the BIM 360 experience more unified, simple, and data centric for our customers.

Users can click on “View all” or the expand and collapse option to see more information when available.
You can also click on individual items and navigate to that specific information in the corresponding feature module to take further action. For example, clicking on a Document Issue opens up that specific issue details in the Document Management module in a new tab.
Who has access to Project Home:
Project Home is available for projects using Next generation BIM 360. You can access it from the module picker in BIM 360 for your Project. All BIM 360 customers can access Project Home page and view information that they have permission to see in the project. There are no separate permissions to get access to Project Home.
Users will have access to specific cards only if they are part of that service in the project. In addition, scope of the information displayed is based on your project level permission.
Project Member view:
Regular Project Members will get to see ONLY items that are assigned to them and are unresolved. They will not be able to view any data that is not assigned to them.
Project Admin view:
In addition to the items assigned to them, Project Admins also get to see the project level items
What if I am a classic BIM 360 (Glue or Field) user?
Project Home is only available for Next generation BIM 360. It only shows data from Next Generation BIM 360 modules such as Document Management, Field Management, Project Management, Design Collaboration and Administration.
What if I am a BIM 360 Design user?
If you are a BIM 360 Design user with access to Document Management and the new Design Collaboration module, you will be able to view the Document Issues card and Design Packages card. In addition, you also get the Project Address and Weather cards. Moreover, the data visible in each card will be based on the users permission to that item in BIM 360. See below example of what a BIM 360 Design user will see in Project Home.
