Navigate the DDx
Once you have created an account and connected to your company’s account, you will navigate the DDx via three main views, accessible through tabs at the top of the page: Portfolio (personal dashboard), Company dashboard, and Reports dashboard.
1. Portfolio tab
After logging in to the DDx, you will land on your Portfolio dashboard. This personal dashboard provides a snapshot of your top-performing projects, your account info, and the Manage Projects tile. Projects appearing in the Portfolio dashboard are either those you created or those on which you have been added as a collaborator.
Projects and Project Goals
From the Portfolio view, clicking on an individual project within your portfolio will bring you to the project dashboard, which includes progress toward goals.
2. Company dashboard
The second view is the Company dashboard, which can be reached from the second tab on the upper left corner. The Company view gives you a snapshot of your company information, all of your company’s projects (including those on which you are not a collaborator), your company’s offices and studios, and employees who have accounts in the DDx. If you have admin access you can upload or replace your signatory letter or Sustainability Action Plan (SAP). You can also access the Manage Projects tile from this tab.
Company Resources
In the Resources section all users will see the 2030 Commitment Welcome Kit and AIA’s guidance on creating a Sustainability Action Plan. You can also see a reporting log for your firm and can download your firm’s reporting badge, this will automatically update every time a new reporting year portfolio is submitted.
