Left Navigation Bar

The left navigation bar allows you to toggle through the following views:

• Products: offers a comprehensive view of the products in your Duro library. 
• Components: shows the entire library of parts and assemblies in your account.
• Change Orders: provides access to all Change Orders that have been submitted, pending for review, or that have been closed.
• Releases: presents content that has been released from third-party applications.

To collapse the left navigation bar, simply drag the right-most perimeter of the bar towards the left side of your screen. Doing so will discreetly hide the tab titles, replacing them with intuitive icons for easy navigation.

Dashboard 

This is the dashboard of all of your products, components, and assemblies you and your team are working on, providing you with a visual interface for adding and editing library items. With a comprehensive way to access your library, you gain a clear overview and easy access to manage and update each component. 

Quick Access

The Quick Access section has links to the most common actions in Duro. 

1. 1. Add or Import Components: start here to create new components manually or import from spreadsheets and vendor catalogs.
   2. Create Change Orders: the cornerstone of PLM is revision management. Duro’s Change Order Workflow is fast and simple.
   3. Export BOMs and Design Files: when you’re ready to go to production or want to send a design out for review and quoting.

Account and Settings Portal

Click on your avatar to navigate to your Account settings, Sandbox, Tutorials, Help & documentation, and our Policy. You can also submit a ticket if you have a question or idea, or discover a bug. Integrations serve as a direct link to all the third-party integrations that Duro supports.
