The Admin section of the Project Room allows you to customize your homepage and set the general parameters of your account. The following options appear in the Admin dropdown menu:
Custom Branding
Allows you to set the introductory images and project information on the Project Room homepage. You can upload opening page graphics and general information about your production here. This is where you can select the logo in the upper left corner and the colour of the adjacent type.
News
Here you can submit current updates on project developments, which will be the first message users will see when they log in to your Project Room homepage.
User Manager
This chart provides a list of registered Project Room Users, designated as either Project Room Clients or Project Room Managers . To create a new user, click “Create New User” to take you to the registration page. Input a Username, Password, Email address, and User Type [Client or Manager], then click “Create”.
There are three types of users:
1. Administrator - The Admin privilege is assigned to the initial username and password used to sign-up the account. There can be only one Administrator per Project Room. The Admin can create new users and edit anything in a Project Room or Client Area. The Administrator cannot be deleted.
2. Manager – You should create a login and password to give to all your production users, such as Department Heads and Key positions. Managers can access and edit anything in Production files, Locations, Art, etc. but have no access to the Admin section.
3. Client - Create a special login name and password for clients such as producers or agency clients. They will only see the files which you have marked specifically for them. This allows you to keep your Project room as an active workspace, with file back-up and download options, but also gives you a way to offer a concise presentation to your clients.
Download Manager
This feature allows you to place, on your computers hard disk, any photosets uploaded to our services. By clicking on the lower right hand check box, when you are in the top level of a photoset collection, and selecting “”Request Backup” the selected photoset will be queued for download in the “Back-up Manager”. The “Backup Manager” can be found in the “Admin” section. This will contain a list of items that are being prepared for download and are ready to download.
Search Preference
Allows you to narrow the range of your Locations Library searches by geographical region. Select or deselect the checkboxes which correspond to regions relevant to your production, then hit “Save” at page bottom. Your Locations Library searches will now be delimited to these checked areas.
Audit Report
Once you’ve added clients, you can see when they have last logged into the Project Room.

VisionProject
Project Rooms are password-protected websites where you can upload photos and a wide variety of information needed by the different departments of your production team such as Locations, Art Department, Casting and Wardrobe.
Instead of sending e-mails loaded up with attachments to share this information with your team, a Project Room gives you a single, secure workspace where you can store all that information in a single place and then give the right people access to view and comment upon that information over the web.
Project Rooms are rented by the month and may be renewed indefinitely.
