Introducing the Drooms home page
Below you will find a description of the Drooms home page.
- Open web.drooms.com, or use a related URL provided to access and sign in to Drooms. Having done so successfully, the Drooms home page with a top bar and a project overview and selection will be shown.
The top bar provides general functionalities, which are independent from any individual data room project, from
left to right:
- A click on the logo in the top left
corner will let you return to the Drooms home page at any time.
- The ‘My Projects’ drop-down menu allows to select and switch to other data room projects you maybe have access to, without having to return to the home page first.
- Your email address or name gives access to your personal user settings:
- Under ‘User Details’ you can choose
your preferred language and workspace settings.
- Under ‘Notifications’, you can manage if and
how often you want to be notified about updates and changes in your data room. This includes new documents or new questions requiring your attention in a Q&A, if applicable.
- Always click on 'Sign out' to securely leave Drooms.
- The first tab at the top right (icon message bubbles) contains the Drooms Chat panel.
If the Drooms Chat should not be available (the first tab on the top right as can be seen in above image is missing, i.e., only the Notifications and Help tabs are present), the reason can either be that you may have turned it off in your user settings in the User Details page, or that it has been disabled upon your company's request. In the first case you can turn it on again, in the second case this will not be possible.
- The second tab at the top right (icon bell) contains the
notifications panel with all notifications about new documents, for
example, or your own activities in all projects you have access to. This
may help you to decide which project requires your attention, if you have access to
several ones.
- The third tab at the top right (icon question mark) contains the help panel with links to the Drooms Help Center (sub-tab 'Help'), a support contact form (sub-tab 'Support'),
which we recommend to use in case of technical problems, and our Credits (sub-tap 'Credits').
Below the top bar, the home page features the project overview with a second tool bar, showing the projects you either own or have been invited to:
- By default, projects are displayed in tile view mode. Hover the mouse over a tile to see key information on that specific project. Depending on your role, you will be able to see:
- Project name
- Project ID
- For Drooms LIFECYCLE projects with multiple assets/data rooms, a specific icon is displayed to the right of the project name
- Last visit
- Role of 'owner' or 'administrator' of a project
- Usage for owners or administrators of a project: Number of assets (only for Drooms LIFECYCLE projects), number of users, used storage space
Tiles may show a customer's logo and an image to better distinguish a project from others you may have access to. In this case, the owner of a project used the Drooms 'Branding' feature.
- To switch between tile view and list view:
- In tile view, click onto 'List view' in the project overview's tool bar for the list view.
- In list view, click onto 'Tile view' in the project overview's tool bar for the tile view.
- The project overview shows up to 15 project tiles or list entries per page. If you should have access to more than 15 projects, you can switch between pages at the bottom.
- The project overview's tool bar also offers a project search (useful, if you have access to many projects):
- Enter either the project name or the unique project ID to filter the projects for the one you are looking for.
If you are a first-time Drooms user who has been invited as owner, administrator, or regular user to your first project, the project overview will display only this one project.
Please note, Drooms has been designed to handle access not just to one, but several, projects at a time. Some elements, like the Drooms home page, may therefore reveal their full purpose only once you have access to multiple projects.
- To select a project and enter it, click onto the respective project tile or project list entry.
