About ProjectBoard
ProjectBoard gives each workspace a structured source of truth for project content. Create project records with categories, locations, dates, visibility, type-specific attributes, cover media, galleries and supporting files.
Create rich project updates with summaries, categories, period tags, attachments and visibility controls. Publish immediately or schedule updates through the built-in publishing queue, then present published content through configurable public update pages with versioned templates.
ProjectBoard includes project and update analytics, activity history, media management, integration administration, Bridge credentials, ContextResolver capabilities and event publication. Authorized workspace apps can consume canonical project and update operations through Handler or RCP, while external systems can use Velaxe HMAC Bridge v2 with operation, IP, replay, timestamp and rate controls.
