User Guides

User Guides explain every part of EVX Software you use day to day, one feature at a time. Each guide shows what the feature does, how to use it step by step, and how it connects to the rest of your work, so you can find the answer yourself and get more from the system.

What you see depends on your role and on how your firm has set up EVX Software. Your screens may show fewer projects, amounts, or options than a guide.

Start here​

Read these first. They cover the screens and ideas you use everywhere in EVX Software.

  1. Overview and dashboard: the screen that opens when you sign in, with your projects, their financial progress, and the work that is late or coming up.
  2. Customize your views: change the columns, lists, panels, and widgets you see, so EVX Software fits the way you work.
  3. Dimensions: how your firm's work is organized by client, project, department, and more, and how to filter every screen by them.
