Project Dashboard Overview

The Project Dashboard is where you manage your individual projects in AVstudio. It gives you access to project-specific actions like previewing, building, cloning, deleting, and modifying settings — all within a single view.

Project Management from the Dashboard​

You can manage your projects directly from the dashboard using the controls shown below.

Project List View

① New Project​

Click the + New Project button in the upper right corner to open the project creation window.

② Edit​

Click the Edit icon on a project card to open the full Project Dashboard.

③ Project Menu​

Click the ☰ (hamburger icon) to access quick actions for the project:

  • Clone Project
  • Delete Project

Creating a New Project​

When you click + New Project, the Create New Project modal will appear.

Create New Project

  • ① Name – Defaults to New project plus date and time. You can rename it.
  • ② Theme – Choose from available project themes.
  • ③ Add new project – Confirms the creation. You can also click Cancel.

The new project will be added to the list and become available for editing.

Inside the Project Dashboard​

Clicking Edit brings you to the core Project Dashboard for that specific project.

Project Dashboard Tabs

① Navigation Tabs​

At the top of the screen, you'll see all the main areas for working on your project:

  • Dashboard
  • Pages
  • Subpages
  • Global Containers
  • Variables
  • Data Sources
  • Functions
  • Media Assets

These tabs let you manage your project’s structure and logic.

② Live Preview​

Click the Live button to open a fully interactive preview of your project in a new window.

This opens the current environment version of your project. You can navigate, test data interactions, and view the experience as it would appear in production.

③ Build Project​

Click the Build button to compile your project into a deployable archive.

You can upload the output to your control processor, device (such as Touch Panel) or backend. Build behavior will follow your selected environment’s configuration.

④ Project Settings Menu​

Click the Settings button to open a dropdown with options:

  • Project Settings
  • Clone Project
  • Delete Project

These are also available from the hamburger icon in the main dashboard, but accessible here within the project context.

⑤ Environment Selector​

Use this dropdown to switch between project environments (e.g., Default, Production, etc.).

Switching environments updates build configurations, connection settings, and preview behavior.

⑥ Open Project LIVE Preview​

This icon launches the Live Preview of your project in a new browser tab, using the selected environment.

It performs the same function as the Live button in section ② but gives you fast access directly from the header bar.

Everything in the Project Dashboard is focused on giving you control over a single project — whether you're editing layouts, previewing in real-time, deploying builds, or updating settings.
