Team Dashboard

Monaca Dashboard

There are two types of dashboards in Monaca:

1. Developer Dashboard: is used by Developer accounts to develop and manage projects.

   

2. Team Dashboard: is used by Administrator accounts to manage developer team and various licenses as well as tickets in a company.

   

Account Types

There are two types of Enterprise or Business accounts:

1. Administrator account

   • This is an account for managing developer accounts and licenses, plugin licenses, support & CI tickets and contract information.

   • It is used for management only, independent of the general Monaca developer accounts. In other words, it can only be used to log into Team Dashboard.

   • If your account is both Developer and Administrator account, you can access Team Dashboard directly from Developer Dashboard and vice versa.

2. Developer account

   • This is an account for logging into Developer Dashboard and developing Monaca projects.

   • In the dashboard, the plan name is displayed as Enterprise (company name) or Business (company name).

   • Enterprise users can use any Power plugins for FREE while Business users need to pay for each Power plugin. The plugins can be acquired through Team Dashboard (please refer to Purchasing Plugin Licenses).

Overview of Team Dashboard

In a company, administrators can log into the Team Dashboard to perform various tasks such as managing a developer team, purchasing and assigning developer licenses, purchasing and using support tickets, changing contract type and so on.

In the Team Dashboard, administrators are mainly doing the following tasks:

• Developer management: invite/remove developers to/from the team.

• Licenses management: purchase and manage developer and Power plugin licenses.

• Ticket management: purchase and manage support and CI (Continuous Integration) tickets, view ticket usage history and check the remaining number of tickets.

• Access restriction management: limit the access to Team and Developer Dashboard by using IP address restriction.

• Contract management: view/update contract information, change contract type and delete the team.

• Support request: contact Monaca support team for various assistances.

In order to add a developer into your team, click on Invite a developer button. Then, you will be asked to input the email of new member.

The new member could be one of the following types of users:
