Tour of the Aconex Home screen

Aconex Home helps you find and manage your important tasks.

From one screen you can:

  • See tasks that need your attention at a glance.
  • Run saved searches.
  • Read your unread mail.
  • View project information and pinned documents.

My tasks

Under My Tasks you'll see a bar for each process that has tasks requiring your action or response. The colors let you know what's overdue and upcoming. Click a colored section to view those specific tasks.

  • Each bar represents a different process such as RFIs, design queries, transmittals, approvals, test plans and reviews. 
  • For each process you'll see the number of tasks grouped by:
    • Overdue
    • Due in 3 Days 
    • Upcoming (where the due date is more than three days in the future)
    • No Due Date

Tip!

You’ll only see tasks for mail created after May 2025 and all other tasks from the past two years. To find older tasks, go to the relevant module. For example, overdue mail remains available in your Inbox.

Click on a segment of a bar to see those specific tasks.

For example, if you click the Upcoming segment in the Design Query bar, you'll see all Design Queries requiring your response. 

  • Click on a task to open it.
  • You can change the filter to see tasks for each segment, such as Overdue, or No Due Date. 
  • You can open the tasks in the appropriate module. In this example we click Open in Mail to view the Design Queries in the Mail module.
