The first time you are invited to join a project in ProjectDox, you will receive an email notification, like the one below. If you are set up with multiple user roles, you will only receive one invite email for all roles. This email will contain a temporary password and a link to ProjectDox.
ProjectDox uses pop-up windows (browser windows
with no toolbars). If no ProjectDox window appears when logging on,
there may be a pop-up blocker installed that is preventing the main
project window from opening. Allow pop-ups for the ProjectDox site
(pop-up blockers can be configured to allow pop-ups for specified
sites. Please see Avolve's System Use Requirements document for a
step-by-step guide).
The login page has an MSI (Microsoft Silent Install)
link for quick and easy downloading and installation of all necessary
ProjectDox ActiveX controls. Click the Install ProjectDox Components
link to run the installation. Alternatively, your network administrator
or IT department may use other methods to install the components.
To log in:
Click on the “Login to ProjectDox” link. This will automatically open a login screen web browser. You can also open a web browser and type in your ProjectDox URL.
Type or paste the temporary password into the Password Field and click Login.
If you have never logged into ProjectDox with your default password, then you will not be able to reset your password. Please contact the website administrator. Once a successful login has occurred with a default (unencrypted) password, you will be taken to the Profile screen to enter a security question and answer, then the "Forgot Password?" link will be available to you.
The password is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as
it was provided to you in the email.
Once you successfully log in, you will be taken to your user profile, where you will need to reset your password, create a security question and answer, and enter some additional information about yourself.
Your password, in most cases, must be between 8-12 characters with at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter, and 1 number. Special characters are not allowed.
After saving your profile information, you will be taken to the homepage, where your list of active projects will display. If workflow is part of the configuration, then assignments, referred to as tasks may also display on the home page in the Task tab.
The Edit Project icon (
) is
available only if you have Invite, Manage Users and/or Manage Folders
permissions. The Create Project button will only display if you have
Project Creation Rights (PCR). You won’t see the View Archived Projects
button unless you are a System Administrator.
User accounts that have been granted Multiple Login permission by an Administrator can run multiple ProjectDox sessions on separate machines using a single login account.
Logging in to ProjectDox a second time (and every time after that); you will use the password that you entered in your User Profile page. After logging in, you will be taken to your home page. From this page, you can view the projects you have been invited to and all tasks for you to complete.
