We have a project area because we are committed to an open, collaborative (democratic, if you will) design process. This project area is a place for us to brainstorm and create your website.
Once we begin a project, you will receive a username and password. Anywhere you have internet access, you can send messages and review your project’s deadlines (milestones), to-dos, message boards, as well as contact information for everyone collaborating on the website production.
The log-in appears in two areas. Either use the handy log-in right on our website's Client Extranet page or go directly to https://thinkmonster.clientsection.com. To login, enter your username and password (all are lower case). Forgot your password?
The Overview tab is exactly that an overview of the project. On the left hand side of the page is the upcoming milestones or milestones due in the next 14 days, to-do's (both open and closed) and messages. You will also notice a list of everyone that has access to the project.
The message board is where we will post details of the project. Messages fall within categories such as hosting, planning, design and so on.
Messages can be viewed all together or by a specific category. You can also post a new message or comment on previously posted messages.
Sometimes you will receive an email from the project system that a new message has been posted. When posting new messages or comments, you can choose (or not) who you want notified of the new message.
Note: Please do not reply to e-mails sent from the project area. These will be lost in space! Instead, click on the link and reply from within the project area.
To-Dos are our list of things to do. Here, you will see our list of upcoming tasks for your project. There will also be “to-do” assigned to you. These will have a background of yellow and have your name (or company next to it). If a to-do is assigned to you, you can check it off when it’s completed.
This tab will allow you to view milestones setup for the project. Milestones are important dates such as due dates and meeting times. Messages can also be linked to a specific milestone. On the milestone tab, the message linked will be listed below the milestone entry.
Color codes: The milestones are color-coded on the calendar for easy scanning.
This tab will allow you to view all the people associated with the project. It includes contact information for each of us at Needmore Designs.
You will only see the Dashboard if we collaborate on more than one project. The Dashboard or home page is the summary page for all projects that we have in progress with you at any given time. On this page you will see upcoming milestones (also known as due dates). If there is a due date within the current 14 days, it will be listed in a calendar.
On the left hand side is the open projects that we have on file. If there is only one project active for you, the extranet will open into the ?Overview? and the Dashboard will not show. To start, click on any project you will be transferred into the Overview of the project.
We will never sell, disclose or trade your email address. We're stingy like that.
