Navigation
How to find your way around SixGrid.
SixGrid has two levels of navigation:
System Sidebar
The sidebar is always visible on the left side of the screen. It's arranged in a few zones, top to bottom.
Top: Your Work
- Dashboard — Your landing page: your to-dos, milestones, and projects, with the organization rollup your role covers below
- Projects — The projects your role lets you see (this link used to be called "All Projects")
- Project Ideas — The organization's idea list. This link only appears when your organization has the Idea Hopper turned on
The Organization Zone
A labelled group of links for looking across the organization:
- Program — The program view (managers and above)
- Reports — Breakdowns and financials for the projects you can see
- People — Everyone in your organization (this link used to be called "All People")
- Groups — The groups that organize your projects and people
Below the Organization zone sits + New project, which starts a new project with the guided wizard.
Bottom: Utilities
- Notifications — Your in-app notifications
- Trash — Deleted items with 30-day restore
- Settings — Organization branding, billing, and subscription management (owners and admins)
- Help — This documentation
One rule ties the sidebar together: what you see follows your role. When a section isn't there for you, that's by design, not a glitch.
On mobile devices, the sidebar is hidden behind a hamburger menu button in the top-left corner. Tap it to open, and tap anywhere outside to close.
At the bottom of the sidebar, below the tagline, you'll find links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy on the SixGrid website. These open in a new tab.
Project Tabs
When you're inside a project, you'll see a horizontal tab bar across the top with these tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Charter | The project charter, metrics, and notes |
| Financials | Benefits, costs, and net financial impact |
| To-dos | Actionable items and milestone tracking |
| People | Team members and their project roles |
| Files | All project files in one place, plus upload general project files |
| Report | Final Report narrative and PDF generation |
| Settings | Project name, dates, status, group, activity log, and delete |
The active tab is highlighted with a blue underline so you always know where you are.
Organization Branding
SixGrid ships with the SixGrid logo in the sidebar by default. Organization Owners and Admins can replace it with their own logo to brand the experience for their team.
Where to manage your logo
Go to Settings > General (click Settings in the sidebar). The Organization Branding section shows your current logo and provides controls to upload or remove it.
Uploading a custom logo
- Click Upload Logo on the Settings > General page (Owner/Admin only)
- Select an image file (PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP, max 2MB)
- The logo appears immediately in the sidebar for everyone in the organization
- Recommended: a wide-format image (e.g. 400×80px) with a transparent background works best
When a custom logo is active
- The custom logo replaces the SixGrid logo in the sidebar
- A small "Powered by SixGrid" link appears at the bottom of the sidebar
- On the Settings page, you can click Change Logo to replace it or Remove logo to revert to the default SixGrid branding
When no custom logo is uploaded
- The default SixGrid logo is shown
- "Get Projects Done" appears at the bottom of the sidebar as a link to sixgrid.com
This feature is especially useful for consulting firms and training providers who want their clients to see their own brand when using SixGrid.
