This tour relates to the Portfolios page.

Welcome to the Hawk IP Dashboard!

This and the other tours will lead you through an overview of the key features of the Hawk IP Dashboard and how to use them. After going through this tour you will know how to navigate around the Dashboard, understand some of its key features, and know how to access further help if you need it.

This tour is best viewed by opening it in the Help tab inside the Hawk IP Dashboard, so the relevant parts on each page can be highlighted at each step. Sign into the Dashboard or create a guest login (no email address is required), then open the Help tab and navigate to the Tours section.

Your Portfolios

Each Portfolio you’ve created, or which is shared with you, has its own Portfolio tile. Typically an organisation has one Portfolio, which can contain any combination of Inventions (ie patents and utility models), trademarks and designs.

We give every user a Sandbox Portfolio to play in.

You can click on a tile to open that Portfolio.

You can add more Portfolios over at the Manage Portfolios tab. You can also change settings like their timezone and date format.

Details & Reminders

The Details & Reminders tab lets you configure weekly or monthly email reminders about Incomplete Actions, for each of your Portfolios.

Action Maps

Each Portfolio tile has an Action Map, which gives you an instant overview of any Incomplete Actions. Actions are hard deadlines like replying to examiners, or internal deadlines you’ve set like checking a draft.

You’ll see Action Maps in a few places and they always work the same: the arrows along the bottom show when the Actions are due – arrows at the left side are due right now, and arrows on the right are due up to 60 days out.

You can hover over an Action Map to get a list of the Actions.

To carry on with this Tour, open a Portfolio by clicking on its tile.

Portfolio

This is a Portfolio. In day to day use you’ll hardly ever need to leave this screen.

Tabs

Every IP Right in a Portfolio belongs to a Family. Rights and Families can have Actions, Notes, and Documents associated with them. You can access all of these from their tabs.
