Using the Virtual Superintendent Main Menu

The primary way to navigate Virtual Superintendent is through the Main Menu, which can be opened by clicking the Menu button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Click or tap to expand image

The pages available in the Main Menu, and therefore the functionality you can access, are determined by the following factors:

  • Default pages available to all users
  • User  permission assigned to your Virtual Superintendent account
  • Project-specific configurations configured by Virtual Superintendent Support

Because of this, each user will typically see only a subset of all available pages.

Page Availability

The table below describes all available pages in Virtual Superintendent. However, your view will vary depending on your permissions and project setup.

Depending on your access level, you may also be able to grant other users permission to view and use certain pages.

Administrative Pages

Many pages in the system support advanced configuration and setup. These are typically intended for administrative users, including:

  • Head Contractor Administrators with Admin Manager permissions
  • Subcontractor Administrators with Subcontractor Admin permissions managing their own staff

These users are responsible for configuring system settings and managing access for other users.
