Account Dashboard

Follow

Your Account Dashboard is a central location in your Nextpoint account which provides an overview of user activity, data imports, and other key metrics associated with your firm's account.

Access to the Account Dashboard is reserved for the Account Administrator(s).

Before diving into the details, we encourage you to review the definitions outlined in the Account Setup article.

 


Accessing the Account Dashboard

To access the Account Dashboard, click on the name of the project in the upper left of the navigation bar (in this example: "Nextpoint Demo Account Dashboard") and click the "Manage Account" link.

What is a Project?

A project is any collaborative enterprise designed to achieve a particular aim. A project could be a legal case or matter, an investigation, a document review, a collaborative data analysis, or research activity.

Projects allow you to organize data and deploy resources to interact with that data in secure, nested databases. User permissions and access levels are all set on the database level.

 


Project Activity

On the Projects tab in your Account Dashboard, you can view various metrics associated with your account (shown in activity summary view below).

You can expand each project by clicking on it and view a granular breakdown of activity for each individual database in that project (shown in expanded project view below).

Archiving

According to Nextpoint's standard terms of service, any database that is inactive for 12 consecutive months will be flagged for archiving and then automatically archived 60 days later.  If you receive a notification of the archiving process, but wish to have the database remain active you may switch the database's status from "Pending Archive" to "Active".  For more information about the archiving process please follow this link.

 

 

 

 

User Management

Via the User Management tab, All-Access Dashboard Admins can effectively view and manage all users in their firm's Nextpoint account. 

*Important to note: Dashboard Admins are only permitted to grant access or edit user access levels in databases which they (the Dashboard Admin) have Advanced Access.  This was thoughtfully considered by the Nextpoint team to ensure appropriate security measures are taken when handling access to client data and potentially sensitive materials.
