What the chips, sprint banner, and Today's work are for — and how Home differs for Admins versus everyone else.
Intent: Explain using home as the command centre in a way that a new team member can follow without prior Beech context.
Who this helps: Architecture studio admins, managers, and contributors who need a repeatable operational workflow.
Home asks one question: what needs your attention right now? It does not replace Workspace. It is a sorted inbox of heat — blocked, reviews, vendors — scoped to your role.
Start with the chips
Blocked, For review, and Vendors due. Managers and Contributors also see an Hours chip for their logged time this week. Each chip jumps to a filtered Workspace (or My Hours) view. If a sprint is active on a project you can see, the banner shows name, dates, and progress. Click it to open Schedule.
The rest of the page
- Today's work — a single list of items that need attention (blocked, reviews, vendors due, and related work), capped so it stays short.
- Team hours — Admins only on Home (Managers use More → Team Hours).
- Notes and reminders — strips from Quick capture; View all opens the rest.
Prerequisites
- Confirm you can access the project and the page referenced in this workflow.
- Collect any drawing references, due dates, and ownership details before you start.
Expected outcome
By the end of this workflow, your team has one visible, repeatable process and cleaner handovers.
Common mistakes and prevention
Mistake 1: Skipping context fields (owner, due date, status notes), which makes follow-up harder.
Mistake 2: Treating chat updates as source of truth instead of recording the update in Beech.
