Dashboard
The dashboard is the entrance to the application. From here, you can quickly access cables for your recent projects or check the latest LME metal prices to see if your cables will increase or decrease in price.
The navigation bar on the left can be turned off by using the menu icon. Available options will depend on your subscription model.
The standard reference lets you drill down into various tables, while equipment data lets you view standard data for common cables and PV modules.
At the bottom of the navigation menu, you can see and edit your profile as well as log out of the application.
Projects
Projects are containers to hold your cables. To learn how to add and edit projects, see the dedicated Projects post.

Reports and Export
Reporting is available through the ‘Reports’ button and drop-down menu on the cables page. When generating a report, all project cables are included by default. If any cables have been selected using the selection checkbox, only these cables will be used. You can also export your cables data from the same menu.
Generated reports are exported to PDF and automatically downloaded to the user’s computer. You will need a PDF reader or application to view reports.
