We know that learning a new software can be challenging, but after following this simple tour through Rabbet's intuitive navigation, you'll be using the system's many time-saving and efficiency-gaining features like a pro in no time!

Portfolio Dashboard

When logging into your Rabbet account, you will always start on the Portfolio Overview. It provides a summary of your projects and will be the launch pad for your work in Rabbet. The view can be changed from the tile view shown or to the list view.

To get started, click on the name of the project or project tile.

Project Dashboard

You've landed on the project's Overview tab. On this tab you will find several navigational tabs and buttons that lead you to the various features available on your project.

Navigate to the Budget tab for a view-only analysis of the active budget.

Creating a 'New Draw' is fast and easy. Just click the 'Create New Draw' button, or you can also view the current draw tile or any prior draws from the project Overview tab by clicking the Draw History tile.

You've now landed on the Draw Overview tab within a project draw. Notice how our journey so far has been mapped in the blue bar at the top of the page, company name, project name, draw name. Easily navigate back to the project or portfolio levels using these breadcrumbs.

Each draw contains a snapshot budget that outlines the activity to-date, including the activity for that draw.

For a basic live navigation and to learn about invoice management, check out this short video:

If you have created a new draw, the first step is to name the draw then begin uploading supporting documentation by clicking 'Add Documents'. After the upload is complete, navigate to the Documents tab to review the files.

Upon upload, Rabbet classifies and extracts relevant information from your invoices. The system will automatically input and connect this information to the budget. A 'warning' status will appear if missing information has prevented this automation.

Click anywhere on the document line to verify or update the details of the document.

You are now in the document review modal. For an invoice document, the 3 critical fields that must be completed are:

  • Vendor

  • Line Item

  • Amount

Once these fields have been completed, the invoice amount will be automatically populated as a draw request on the applicable line item. Complete any other relevant fields that you want to record in Rabbet and click 'Save Changes'.

When all of your supporting documentation has been reviewed, click 'Close' to exit the document assignment modal.

When a green link symbol appears on every document, you have completed your document review. The invoice and pay app amounts will automatically populate the Current Amount Requested field on the budget.

Navigate back to the Budget tab to review these amounts.

Notice how the Current Amount Requested column on the draw budget table has updated values. The value for each line item is the sum of all invoice documents assigned to that line item.

Click on the line item to view the details.

The line item slide out, outlines the active draw request and total project request. The invoices and pay apps that have automatically populated the draw amount requested on this line item are linked here.

Thank you so much for completing this tour! If you understand the connection between the project budget and the supporting documents, then you will have no trouble mastering Rabbet.
