Home/Features/Custom Sections

Compose every project's workspace from the sections it actually needs

No two jobs are the same, so no two projects should look the same. Add Build Plans, BOMs, Work Orders, Files, Notes, a Dashboard, or a Calendar to any project — drag the tabs into the order your team works in, and skip the ones you don't.

Every section is a tab — add the ones you need, reorder them, drop the rest

A simple RFQ might only need Files and Notes. A released production job wants Build Plans, BOMs, and Work Orders front and center. Each project gets its own set of tabs, in its own order — set once, and your whole team works the same way.

Click the active tab and you see that section's panel. Add a section and it appears as a new tab — drag it anywhere in the bar.

Pick from a full deck of section types

Each section is a complete tool in its own right — turn on the ones a job needs and leave the rest off, so the workspace stays focused.

Build Plans

Controlled digital travelers with a full draft-to-released lifecycle, revisions, and approvals — the routing and process steps for the parts this project builds.

BOMs

Bills of materials with revision control and live stock status on every line, so you can see what's on hand against what the build needs — right inside the project.

Work Orders

Release work orders from a build plan, track quantity completed, and watch inventory allocate automatically — the execution layer for the project's production.

Files — with 3D preview

A folder tree for drawings, CAD models, and documents — preview STEP and STL files in 3D, Gerber/PCB layers, and PDFs right in the browser, no download needed. See the 3D viewer →

Notes

A rich-text notebook for meeting minutes, decisions, customer correspondence, and running context — so the why behind a job stays with the job, not in someone's inbox.

Dashboard

A project-scoped command center — what's overdue, due today, and coming this week across this project's tasks, build plans, and work orders, at a glance.

Calendar

A color-coded calendar of this project's milestones, work order deadlines, and deliveries — the timeline view of everything the project has scheduled.

Drag to reorder

Grab any tab and drop it where it belongs. Put Build Plans first on a production job, Files first on an RFQ — the order you set sticks for that project.

Per-project customization

Sections are configured per project, not globally. A lean internal project and a heavily-documented aerospace job can each have exactly the tabs they need.

Lazy-loaded performance

Each section's data loads only when you open its tab, so a project with a dozen sections opens instantly — you never wait on tabs you're not looking at.

Add or remove anytime

Needs change as a job moves from quote to production. Add a Work Orders tab when you release, remove a section you no longer use — without losing the rest.

Connected

One project, every part of the job in one place

Because sections are part of Axis, the BOM tab shows live on-hand stock, a work order releases straight from a build plan in the same project, and the files everyone needs sit one tab away — no jumping between tools, no hunting for the latest copy.
