How to Create and Manage Dashboards

Complete workflow guide for dashboard creation and management in construction project management

Dashboards display key metrics at the project and program levels, giving you real-time visibility into cost, risk, and schedule performance across your construction projects.

Before You Start

  • Access to the project or program

Get Started with AI Dashboard Onboarding

If you signed up using a template, Mastt AI guides you through creating your first dashboard — upload your contract, select a template, and view your live dashboard within minutes.

Start the Onboarding

  1. Log in to your Mastt account — the AI chat opens automatically for template sign-ups.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts to begin setup.

If the chat doesn't appear, refresh your browser or contact support.

Choose a Template

  1. Review the suggested templates in the chat.
  2. Click Preview to view a template or click the card to select it.
  3. Click Skip to choose a template later.

Upload Your Contract

  1. Drag and drop your contract file into the chat or click to browse.
  2. Mastt processes the contract and extracts key data automatically.

Contracts uploaded during onboarding are automatically set to Approved status, so your dashboard displays data immediately.

Complete the Onboarding

  1. Click Open Dashboard in the chat to view your dashboard.
  2. Once you finish all steps, you'll see: "Your Dashboard is Live!"

If you skip any steps, return later using the Completeness Sidebar.

Using the Completeness Sidebar

The Completeness Sidebar shows your dashboard setup progress as a percentage in the dashboard header.

Navigate the Sidebar

  1. Click the percentage indicator — the sidebar slides open from the right.
  2. Review the two sections:
    • Data still needed — Incomplete items your dashboard needs
    • Data added — Completed items already powering your dashboard
  3. Click any item under Data still needed to add the required information.
  4. Click any item to highlight related dashboard tiles.

Each item has an expandable subtitle explaining why that data matters.
