What you can do from the Home screen

Depending on your access and company setup, the Home screen can help you:

  • Access available features
  • Check updates or notifications
  • Move between different work areas
  • Open your Profile or Settings

Use the Home screen as your starting point, then navigate to the project or feature you need.

How navigation works in GoBuid

Most day-to-day work in GoBuid follows a simple path:

Home → Project → Feature → Record or Action

For example:

  1. Open the Project you are working on.
  2. Select the feature you need.
  3. Review, create, or update a record.
  4. Return to the project or move to another feature.

This project-based structure keeps related work and records together while allowing you to move between different workflows.

A simple way to start using GoBuid

When you are new to GoBuid:

  1. Open the project you are currently working on.
  2. Review the features available to you.
  3. Check for tasks, updates, or submissions that need your attention.
  4. Start with the feature your team uses most often.

For example, your team may use:

  • To-Do for follow-up work
  • Forms for structured submissions
  • Docs for project files and documents
  • Progress for tracking planned and completed work
  • Clock In/Out for attendance and working hours

As you become familiar with one workflow, you can explore the other features available to you.

Tips for navigating GoBuid

Start with your project

Open the project you are actively working on before moving into its features.

Focus on one workflow at a time

You do not need to learn every feature at once. Start with the workflow most relevant to your role.

Check for updates regularly

Review notifications and other attention items so you do not miss actions or updates relevant to your work.

Keep permissions in mind

The features and actions available to you depend on your role and permissions. If you cannot see or access a feature, your account or project access may need to be updated.

Keep your work within the project

Whenever possible, create and update records under the correct project so your team's information stays organized and easy to review.
