Finding your way around
What it’s for — a quick tour of the screen so nothing feels hidden.
The three parts of the screen
- The sidebar (left) — every tool, grouped so related things sit together:
- Operations — Dashboard, Notifications, Jobs, Dispatch, Field.
- Assets — Fleet, Maintenance, Schedules, Parts, Accessories, Stores.
- Planning — Lift plans, Ground bearing, Sling loads.
- Commercial — Contacts, Quotes, Invoices, Recurring.
- People & compliance — Crew, Certificates, Audit log.
- Plus Team, Yards, Compliance (settings) and Marketplace near the bottom.
- The top bar — your workspace name and role, the apps switcher, notifications (the bell), and the Ask Craneye assistant.
- The main area — the page you’re on.
The job tabs
Open any job and you’ll find its own set of tabs: Overview, Cranes, Crew, Cost, Timesheets, Map, Route, Lift plans, Documents, HSC, History. The Map tab shows that job’s machines, crew and site on the operational map; the Route tab is a trailer’s trip replay — see trailer route trips & replay.
Notifications
Click the bell in the top bar to see recent notifications — dispatch blocks, expiring certificates, route deviations, and more — each one linking straight to the record it’s about. See Notifications & email for what triggers one and how to set your own preferences.
The apps switcher
Next to your workspace name, the apps switcher jumps you to Craneye’s other surfaces without leaving your session — including this Documentation site.
Light or dark
Use the theme toggle in the top bar to switch between light and dark — Craneye remembers your choice.
