Who can use it
- Admin — full project access, including baseline changes, project status actions, collections, and team management
- Manager — manages permitted project activity, including labor, expenses, and assigned team workflows
- Supervisor — may receive a simplified assigned-project view with limited financial information
- Employee — primarily uses assigned work and field workflows rather than the full Command Center
Overview and audience
The Project Command Center is the main workspace for an individual project.
It brings together the project baseline, actual costs, collections, team assignments, operational activity, and profit signals so you can understand how the project is performing without opening every module separately.
The Command Center is a summary and decision-making page. Detailed records remain inside their full module pages.

Profit-effect callout
How it affects project profit
The Command Center combines the project’s financial baseline with its recorded activity.
- approved individual labor
- approved batch labor where applicable
- approved project expenses
- material costs when enabled
- Collections show cash received and outstanding balances but do not reduce project cost.
- Projected profit generally compares contract value with recorded and expected project costs.
- Incomplete, pending, or rejected records are not treated the same as approved actual costs.
Secondary drawers, sidebar, and actions
Status transitions
Prospeno may prevent unsafe status changes when attendance, approved expenses, collections, or other operational records already exist.
Reopen a completed project
Admins may see Reopen Project on eligible completed projects.
- Reopening restores the project to an operational state so additional work or corrections can be recorded.
- Use this only when the project genuinely requires further activity.
- Some completed projects may have restricted historical access depending on the company’s plan and retention rules.
New project guidance
After creating a project, the Command Center may display setup guidance such as:
- Add team members
- Add manual labor
- Add expense
- Record collection
- Select Dismiss after the recommended setup steps are understood or completed.
Important limitations
- The Command Center tabs are summaries, not replacements for the full modules.
- Materials information appears only when the module is enabled.
- Supervisors may receive a simplified project view without full Financials or Collections access.
- Employees generally use My Work and Prospeno Field rather than the full Command Center.
- Completed or cancelled projects may block new records.
- Some actions are restricted to Admins.
- Profit and margin indicators depend on the completeness and approval status of project records.
