I'm trying to figure out which layer to use, why to use it, and just get general directions on usage. I'm drawing a blank.

Thanks so much.  I ended up just re-creating the dashboard from scratch using my own geodatabase and using the Capital Projects Dashboard as a basis for the design, and it's working great.

Hi, 

I noticed that these comments were from March. Are there any updates on documentation for the Capital Projects Dashboard? I am currently setting it up for use & thankfully came across this thread & was able to better understand the configuration and table relationships, but only after already using trial/error for almost a day.

Thanks!

Hi Alison,

We recently released a Getting To Know Capital Project Planning story map to learn.arcgis.com. This story map describes all the apps that com with the Capital Project Planning solution and how the projects flow through the apps as the status changes on the individual projects.

Thanks for the story map. This is useful, but not quite the documentation I was hoping for. I am looking for something more technical and geared towards a user who already wants to use the capital project planning solutions and understand the details of how the schema is set up and how the applications can be configured.

The story map is the first step in a learning pathway we plan on building for the Capital Project Planning solution. We plan on also adding How To Use and Configuring topics that dive deeper into these areas. You can see an example of when we recently released for our Citizen Problem Reporter solution. We are working on these additional topics this fall and will post to this thread when they are available.
