The control panel is where you select what data you want displayed in your Material List view. You can change this at any time, and the system remembers what your last chose. What you see is also what you can download in a spreadsheet when you export your data (such as for the AIA Material Pledge Reporting).
Aside from basic information like Manufacturer or Product Name, this control panel is mostly for you to manage what details you want to see from Certifications in your Material List view. Once you select what you want shown, this can also set what is shown if you export to a spreadsheet (you can also change what shows up in an export later. After you click “export”, a pane pops up for you to confirm or change those items).
- Gear Icon: Click on the gear icon at the top right of your Material List to open the Control Panel.
- Choose Category: Currently there are 3 views, Table Headers, CSI Divisions (#3) and Groups (#4). Click on each of these to select options within those groups. Table headers are the same as column headers in a spreadsheet. In this Table Headers view, these refer to general things like the Manufacturer, Product Name, etc and then many different certifications such as C2C, Declare, HPDs, EPDs and all the certifications from SCS and UL. We are adding more certifications all the time and this list will continue to grow.
- CSI Divisions: This is where you select which CSI Divisions you want visible in your Material List. Each division shows up as an individual Tab.
- Product Groups: Groups can be created for many reasons – clicking over to this pane shows you what Groups currently exist and then you can decide which you want to see. They show up as Tabs in your Material List. For more about Groups, go to the section called How to Create Groups.
- Hide All: for long lists, this is a quick way to deselect all so that you can choose just a few of the options.
- Misc. Certifications: Some certifications, such as the ones provided by SCS and UL are not digitized. This means they have no detailed data to select in the way that HPDs, EPDs, Declare and C2C do. We group them together and the list of those certifications is much longer than what is shown below.
- Groups: This is the control panel where you can either choose which Groups you want visible – or – you can delete a group if you no longer want or need it.
