Sphere XG Dashboard

The Sphere XG Dashboard provides access to your workspaces, projects, groups, workspace members and analytics data.

The Sphere XG Dashboard consists of a task panel on the left side, a data content view on the right side showing the content that you have selected in the task panel as well as a general toolbar at the top.

When you open the Sphere XG Dashboard, task panel entry Projects > Active is selected. The data view shows the active projects either with a preview or a standard image.

From the Sphere XG Dashboard, you can open your projects in the Sphere XG Viewer. Depending on your setup, you can also open the project in HoloBuilder.
