# Project Overview

> Find, filter, and open the projects that belong to your organization.

The **Projects** page is where you land after signing in. It lists every project that you have created or have been invited to in the currently selected organization, and gives you the tools to find the right one quickly.

## Empty state

The first time you open Real-Time LCA, your organization has no projects yet. Click **Add your first project** in the center of the page — or the **+ Project** button in the top-right corner — to start the [project wizard](/user-guide/project/create-new-project).

## Project card

Once you have projects, each one is rendered as a card with everything you need at a glance.

<Frame caption="Project card on the overview">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Projects%20page%20with%20project%20card.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=c4ded0533d760b9767f7be2fbe4c16a4" alt="Projects page showing a single NTI New Headquarter project card." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Projects page with project card.png" />
</Frame>

A card shows:

* **Project name** and how long ago it was updated.
* The roles you hold on the project (for example, **Admin**).
* A thumbnail of the 3D model — or a placeholder when no model is connected yet.
* The **stage** chip (for example, *Competition*).
* **Country** and **calculation type**.
* A progress bar with **% used of the threshold** and **kgCO₂-eq/m²/year** spent versus the limit.
* The owner avatar, **% mapped**, and **total reference area**.

Click anywhere on the card to open the project dashboard.

### Card actions

The icons in the top-right of each card let you act on the project without opening it:

* **Copy link** — copy a shareable URL to the project.
* **Favorite (star)** — pin the project to the top when sorting by Favorites.
* **Settings (cog)** — open the project's quick actions menu.

#### Favorite a project

Click the star to toggle it. A favorited project shows a filled yellow star and surfaces first when you sort by **Favorites** or enable the **Favorites only** filter.

<Frame caption="Favorited project card">

</Frame>

#### Quick actions from the card

Click the cog icon to open the card's quick actions menu without leaving the overview.

## Switch between card and list view

Use the view toggle in the top-right toolbar to choose how projects are displayed.

<Frame caption="Toggle to List View">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/List%20view%20button.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=a5192b6bee31651971b57da8dc42fcba" alt="Tooltip pointing at the List View toggle button next to the + Project button." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/List view button.png" />
</Frame>

List view is dense and sortable by column — useful when you have many projects.

<Frame caption="Projects in list view">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Projects%20list%20view.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=8c8ffdb81e25046234a3800d6222b016" alt="Projects list view showing columns for Name, Last Updated, Mapping Complete, Threshold, Used, m², and Type." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Projects list view.png" />
</Frame>

The list view shows:

| Column               | Description                                                   |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**             | Project name. Click to open.                                  |
| **Last Updated**     | Time since the last change.                                   |
| **Mapping Complete** | Percentage of the model that has been mapped to materials.    |
| **Threshold**        | The CO₂ threshold (kgCO₂-eq/m²/year) defined for the project. |
| **Used**             | The current emission spend (kgCO₂-eq/m²/year).                |
| **m²**               | Total reference area.                                         |
| **Type**             | Building type (for example, *Kontor*).                        |

## Reload the list

If a teammate just made changes, click **Reload Projects** in the toolbar to fetch the latest state without refreshing the browser.

<Frame caption="Reload Projects button">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Reload%20projects%20button.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=b5e7949b3bc391baa52c56f96472f9cf" alt="Tooltip on the Reload Projects button in the projects toolbar." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Reload projects button.png" />
</Frame>

## Sort projects

Use the **Sort** dropdown on the left of the toolbar to control the order.

<Frame caption="Sort options">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Projects%20sort%20options.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=13e4191e0d3d0776f3b15b5bac7c525c" alt="Sort dropdown with Favorites, Last Updated, Name, Total Area, and Type options." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Projects sort options.png" />
</Frame>

Available sort options:

* **Favorites** — favorited projects first.
* **Last Updated** — newest activity first.
* **Name** — alphabetical.
* **Total Area** — by m².
* **Type** — grouped by building type.

<Frame caption="Sorting by Last Updated">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Sort%20by%20last%20updated.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=5dc747c5af0b862258d75e28481cb73d" alt="Sort menu with Last Updated highlighted." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Sort by last updated.png" />
</Frame>

Use the arrow next to the sort dropdown to switch between ascending and descending.

<Frame caption="Sorted by Name (Z–A)">

</Frame>

## Search and filter

Type in the **Search for Project** box to filter by name. Click the funnel icon next to the search to open the **Filters** panel.

<Frame caption="Filters panel">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/real-timelca/HxQNbzijXcM8949x/images/user-guide/Projects%20filter%20options.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HxQNbzijXcM8949x&q=85&s=6b37cf6d554e177b4cd50fce028d3294" alt="Filters panel with Favorites only, Calculation type, Country, Stage, Role, and Type filters." width="3104" height="2024" data-path="images/user-guide/Projects filter options.png" />
</Frame>

You can combine any of these filters; the result list updates as soon as you tick an option. Click **Clear** at the top of the panel to reset all filters.
