Though most users will only have access to the main Collaborate site, there are two URLs associated with your organization’s SLIM-Collaborate instance. The Main Collaborate site is where users view, upload, create, and edit the projects in your Collaborate project portfolio. Because it is where the majority of users spend their time, most of this user guide deals with the Main Site and the Estimation, Closeout, and Back Office services.
Access to the Admin Site is typically limited to one or two site administrators. The Admin site is used to configure and maintain site-wide settings; enter or update the site license; customize contact information and global default values; manage calls to external applications; create an optional OBS (Organizational Breakdown Structure); configure individual user profiles, roles, and permissions; and maintain selection values for commonly used data fields. Optional features like SLIM on the Server and custom user authentication can also be configured here. For more information on Admin Site features and settings, see the Admin Site section of this user guide.
