This card-based layout allows you to quickly see at a glance: The user’s Username and Email Address Their Role (e.g., Member or Administrator) Their current account Status (e.g., Active) From this screen, administrators can quickly provision a New User or Export Users to a file using the buttons in the top right.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/folder_management/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/folder_management/Folder & File Management The Folders pane acts as a built-in file explorer for your Conversion Server. It allows administrators to directly view, manage, and modify the physical directory structures without needing FTP or shell access to the host server. This graphical explorer provides: Directory Overview: A clean list view of all root folders (like drawings, mp, edlines, etc.) alongside files. Detailed Metadata: Instantly view the Date Modified, Type (e.g., File folder, ZIP File, JSON File), and Size (including item counts for directories).https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/conversion_cache/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/conversion_cache/Conversion Cache Management The Conversion Cache pane provides deep visibility into the actual outputs generated by AutoXchange. Instead of raw files, this pane groups outputs into logical drawing “Cards”. For every converted drawing (like Waugh Chapel MASTER PLAN.dwg), you can see: Total Payload Size: The combined size of all generated outputs (e.g., 5.3 MB). Conversion Timestamps: When the file was first processed and when it was last modified. Output Artifacts: A visual tag array (e.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/license_management/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/license_management/License Management The Licences pane provides a centralized interface for installing and validating software licenses for both the front-end viewer and the back-end converters. This interface greatly simplifies the deployment process by allowing you to manage license keys directly from your browser: Status Check: Instantly verify if your current licenses are valid or if a domain mismatch occurred. Use the Check licence button to force a re-validation. CADViewer (CVJS) License: Paste your binary CADViewer front-end license key directly into the text box and hit Apply cvjs licence to update the server.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/server_logs/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/server_logs/Server Logs & Diagnostics The Logs pane provides a live, terminal-style readout of the Node.js Conversion Server’s standard output and error streams. This interface grants administrators full control over tracking background processes, conversion pipelines, and server health without needing SSH or Remote Desktop access to the host machine. Key features of the Logs pane include: Live Readout: Watch as the server boots up, initializes configuration variables, runs background garbage collection (like purging old cache files), and handles incoming conversion API requests.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/rest_api_test/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/rest_api_test/REST API Testing Suite The dashboard includes a built-in Swagger-like interface for testing the conversion server’s API endpoints directly from the browser. This interface lists all available POST and GET routes (such as /callapiconversion and /callapivizquery). Clicking on any of the endpoint headers will expand it into an interactive testing pane. From the expanded view, you can: Review the required JSON payload structure. Edit the raw JSON payload parameters (e.g., converter, contentFormat, contentLocation) directly in the dark-mode editor.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/live_configuration/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/live_configuration/Live Configuration Editing The Config pane provides a visual interface for managing the backend Node.js variables that are traditionally stored in CADViewer_config.json. Instead of navigating the file system to edit the JSON file, administrators can use this interface to review active variables (such as ServerUrl, olderLocation, cvjs_svgz_compress, and cvjs_debug). You can click the Edit Config button to modify these server behaviors on the fly.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/cadviewer_doctor/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/cadviewer_doctor/CADViewer Doctor (System Health) When setting up the server on a new environment, the CADViewer Doctor pane acts as your first line of defense against permission errors and missing dependencies. The Doctor automatically runs a suite of diagnostic tests, checking: NodeJS execution capabilities (verifying the exec command is available). Binary Executable Permissions: Ensuring converters like AutoXchange, DwgMerge, and LinkList have the correct permissions. Directory Read/Write Access: Ensuring the Node.js process has write access to critical folders like /converters/files/, /converters/files/pdf/, and /content/redlines/.https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/ai_ratings/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://cadviewer.com/conversionservertechdocs/dashboard/ai_ratings/AI Ratings & Interaction Logging For systems utilizing the CADViewer AI integrations (such as Snowflake Cortex), the AI Ratings pane provides complete user interaction logging. This powerful telemetry dashboard tracks how end-users are interacting with the AI chat features: Rating Distribution: View aggregated metrics like Total Ratings, Average Rating, and a breakdown of 5-star vs 1-star responses. Granular Feedback: Review individual user interactions. The table logs the exact date, the user’s name, the QUERY they asked the AI, the SEARCH SCOPE, and any text COMMENT they left regarding the AI’s performance.
