6. The Dashboard & Projects

The Dashboard (Project Browser) is where you find, organize, import, and open your work.

6.1 Anatomy of the dashboard

Filter tabs: All, Starred, Shared, and Invites.
Version filter: show only v1 or v2 projects.
Search: type a keyword/name to filter projects in real time.
View toggle: switch between grid (cards) and list view.
Project navigation: scroll continuously through current and historical projects.
Invites badge: the Invites tab shows a count of pending invitations awaiting your response.

Each project appears as a card showing its name, version badge, visibility icon, "updated N ago", and — where relevant — shared/role badges.

6.2 Creating a project

Click Create / New Project.
Enter a System Name (required) and, optionally, a Project Name.
Choose the version:
- SysML v1 — visual diagram modeling.
- SysML v2 — code-based modeling (available to organization accounts; arranged via sales).
Confirm. You're taken straight into the new project's workspace.

6.3 Importing a project

Use Import project to bring in shared architectures from collaborators. Supported file extensions:

Extension	Use
`.sysml`	Standard SysML v2 source files
`.json`	Structured model export/interchange
`.kpar`	SysModeler project archive

This lets teams exchange complete systems architectures and continue work in your own workspace.

6.4 Managing projects

From a project card (permissions permitting):

Action	How	Notes
Open	Click the card	Enters the workspace
Star / Unstar	Star icon	Bookmarks it to the Starred tab for rapid access
Rename	Card menu → Rename	Enter a new, non-empty name
Clone / Duplicate	Card menu → Clone	Creates a fully independent copy of the project
Delete	Card menu → Delete	You must type the project name exactly to confirm
Change visibility	Share modal (owners)	Private or Public

Caution: Deletion is deliberately strict — retyping the project name is required — because it removes the project for everyone who has access.

The dashboard updates in real time: if a teammate creates, renames, or deletes a shared project, your list reflects it without a manual refresh.

6.5 Executive Dashboard (superusers)

Administrators and superusers get an Executive Dashboard giving a holistic overview of the enterprise — high-level visibility into performance, trackable metrics, and project health against established Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This is the enterprise control surface for governing large, multi-team modeling programs.
