Bridge Admin Portal – Bridge Services LLC
Overview
The Projects page provides a detailed view of all construction and management projects under Bridge Services LLC. It is used to monitor progress, assign personnel, and manage documentation.
Features
1. Project List
Displays all active and archived projects with key metrics:
- Project Name
- Tenant
- Status (Active/Completed/On Hold)
- Start and End Dates
- Assigned Personnel
Selecting a project opens its detailed page with additional controls.
2. Creating a Project – Full Workflow
To create a new project in the Bridge Admin Portal:
Step 1 – Navigate to the Project Creation Page
NavigateGo to Projects>in the left sidebar.- Click New Project (or Create Project).
- You will arrive at the Create Project page:
- Title: Create Project
- Subtitle: Add a new project to your workspace
- Buttons: Cancel | Create Project
Step 2 – Fill Out Project Details (Project Basics)
This is the first setup step, shown on the left panel under Project Basics.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Project Name * | Required. Use a clear, descriptive job name (e.g., “Icicle Villas Phase 2”). |
| Type * | Required. Choose the project category (Commercial, Residential, General, etc.). |
| Color * | Used for visual identification in the project list & calendars. |
| Description | Optional. Provide scope, notes, or key objectives. |
| Parent Project | Optional. Use this to create sub-projects or project hierarchies. |
Once complete, click Next or select Project Location in the setup panel.
Step 3 – Project Location
This step allows you to define the job site:
- Enter a physical address.
- Use the map tool to drop a pin or draw a boundary.
- The boundary is used for features like time clock geofencing and location-based reporting.
Tip: If the same location is used repeatedly (e.g., multiple buildings on one site), use the same boundary for consistency.
Step 4 – Timeline
Define the project schedule:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Date | When work should begin. |
| End Date | Optional — useful for scheduling & billing periods. |
| Milestones (optional) | Some configurations allow setting internal milestones or phases. |
These values are used for reporting, billing periods, and forecasting.
Step 5 – Billing & Financials
This governs how the project will be billed and tracked.
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Billing Method | Hourly, fixed price, bid-based, time & materials, etc. |
| Default Rates | Set costs for labor/materials if needed. |
| Cost Codes / Job Codes | Useful for payroll & invoice itemization. |
| Notes / PO / References | Store important financial metadata. |
Step 6 – Access (Project Team Setup)
Control who has access to the project:
- Search for users to assign.
- Assign each user a Project Role (Member, Leader, Foreman, custom roles, etc.).
- Roles determine what the user can see & do.
- If a user does not exist yet, you may invite them from this screen.
Each project can have different roles per user — one person may be “Leader” in one project, and “Member” in another.
Step 7 – Finalize
Before creating the project:
- Review all steps using the panel on the right.
- Make changes by clicking any section.
- When ready, click Create Project.
Once saved:
- The project appears in the Projects list.
- Assigned users gain access immediately.
- Time Clock and Billing modules become available.
