Section 3.1: Master Project Detail Page Overview
Every project opens on one page. The header tells you where the project stands, and eight sections hold everything else: the plan, the shoot, the crew, the money, the files and the client.
This article is a map. Each part points to the guide that covers it in full.
1. The project header
The bar at the top shows a back arrow to your projects, the project title, the sections, and the project's status. Under it, a strip of facts stays in view on every tab:
- Client: the portal client linked to the project, when there is one.
- Project #: the project's number. Click it to copy it.
- Budget, for people who can see the project's money, and Due.
- Owner: who runs the project. People who manage the project can type a name in this field to change it.
- Team: how many people are on the project.
- Progress: how far through the work the project is, as a percentage.
The Status control in the bar reads Planning, In progress, On hold, Completed or Cancelled. People who can manage the project can change it there.
Commercial video campaign
Summer launch campaign for Northgate. Two shoot days, a drone unit, and an edit to deliver by the end of July.
Both shoot days are wrapped. Drone permits are in. The rough cut is due to the editor on Jul 10.

Beside the status, the refresh icon reloads the page, the gear opens Project settings, and the three-dot menu (More project actions) holds:
- Refresh from Jira, Refresh from Asana or Refresh from Monday, when the project was imported from one of them. See Section 2.6: Importing from Jira, Asana and Monday.
- Wrap report. See Section 3.9: Wrapping a Project and Wrap Reports.
- Configure tabs, for people who manage the project.
2. The eight sections
The project is split into sections, each with one or more tabs.
| Section | Tabs | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | The project at a glance. | |
| Plan | Tasks, Timeline, Schedule | Work packages, milestones, deliverables and work orders, and the dates they run on. See Section 3.2 and Section 3.4. |
| Production | Shoot days, Stripboard, Breakdown, Day out of days, Run of show | The shoot: days and call sheets, scene scheduling, the script breakdown and live rundowns. See Section 3.12. |
| Resources | Team, Time, Equipment | The crew, hours logged against the project, and gear. See Section 4.3, Section 5.5 and Section 3.10. |
| Budgeting | Budget, Expenses | The project's budget and its expenses. See Section 3.11. |
| Files | Documents | Project files. See Section 6.3. |
| Client | Client discussion, Calls | The conversation your client reads in their portal, and call transcripts. See Section 6.4. |
| Activity | The project's team conversation, with a running log of changes to the project. |
Which tabs you see
Some tabs depend on the project, your plan or your access:
- Stripboard, Breakdown and Day out of days are hidden for projects in the broadcast and event industries. Run of show shows for broadcast, event and other projects, and for projects with no industry set.
- Schedule shows for projects whose industry is set to other.
- Projects for video editing, motion design, sound design and graphic design start without Shoot days, the stripboard views and Equipment. You can switch them on in Configure tabs.
- Budgeting needs access to the project's money.
- Time needs the Pro plan or above.
- Client discussion needs a linked portal client and permission to manage the project.
- Calls needs permission to manage the project and the Studio plan or above.
3. The Overview tab
Overview opens first. It holds:
- The project's description, Project number, Tags, Links and any Custom fields your organization uses.
- Timeline: a short Gantt of the work. People who manage the project can click AI optimize from here.
- A strip of counts for Overdue deliverables, Overdue milestones and In review.
- Cards for the budget (for people who can see the project's money), team capacity, what is upcoming and recent activity.
4. Project settings
Click the gear (Project settings) in the bar. Settings open in a panel on the right. The project's owner, and your organization's owners and admins, see these sections:
- Project: title, description, budget, Overtime multiplier, status, dates, ROM estimate, Timezone and Project owner.
- Team: the team or location the project belongs to, when your organization uses teams and locations. These are on the Studio plan and above.
- Client portal: switch what the client sees in their portal: Timeline, Run of show, Call sheets, Scheduling / stripboard and Wrap summary.
- Slack: Slack notifications for this project, with a channel per category. Each category starts on Inherit, which uses your organization's setting. Slack is on the Pro plan and above. See Section 6.1.
- Project info: the project ID, and when it was created and last updated.
- Danger zone: Archive project or Delete project.
Click Save changes when you are done.
5. Choose which tabs you see
- Click the three-dot menu (More project actions) and choose Configure tabs.
- Switch tabs on or off, grouped by section. Overview is marked Always on. A tab you cannot use shows No access or Plan.
- Click Save. ABRAM confirms with Tabs saved.
Reset to defaults returns the project to the tabs its type starts with. Your choice applies to the whole project, for everyone on it.
6. Deliverable and work order pages
Click a deliverable to open it in a panel beside the list, then click Open full details for its own page. Click a work order to open it, with the same Open full details link. Creating a new work order goes straight to its full page. See Section 3.13: Deliverable and Work Order Pages.
