Welcome

Welcome to the Legacy Engineering Documentation.

These docs are your reference for how the platform is structured, how core concepts fit together, and how to use each component effectively in real projects. The focus here is clarity and intent, not technical deep dives.

If you’re a day-to-day user, this documentation explains what things do and how they fit together.
If you’re a power user or admin, it also gives insight into how data flows through the system.

What This Documentation Covers​

This documentation is organized around how work actually happens, not just features.

You’ll find sections covering:

  • Core Concepts
    How projects, tasks, deliverables, and records relate to each other.

  • Components & Widgets
    Reusable UI pieces like calendars, Gantt charts, maps, tables, and viewers.

  • Projects & Workflows
    How projects act as the hub for tasks, schedules, documents, and activity.

  • Data & Records
    How information is created, viewed, and updated across the system.

  • Best Practices
    Practical guidance for keeping data clean, organized, and useful.

How to Use These Docs​

You don’t need to read this front-to-back.

  • New users:
    Start with the overview sections to understand the big picture.

  • Existing users:
    Jump directly to the component or workflow you’re working with.

  • Admins / power users:
    Use these docs as a reference when configuring workflows or training others.

Each page is designed to stand on its own while still fitting into the larger system.

Philosophy​

The platform is built around a few core ideas:

  • Projects are the hub — everything attaches to them
  • Components are modular — widgets can be reused and rearranged
  • Data should be structured, not duplicated
  • The UI should reflect real workflows

These docs follow that same philosophy.
