Find your way around DAIV
Updated 25 October 2026
Use the sidebar, the icons above it, product updates, the project tabs and the assistant to get to the right page.
Go to a main area
- On a phone, select to open the sidebar.
- Select Dashboard, Manage Organisation, Contracts Under Review (under Pre-Execution) or Active Projects (under Post-Execution).
- Select Account to link WhatsApp.
- Select to open these articles in a new tab. Select for dark mode, and to switch back.
If an area is greyed out, it isn't part of your organisation's plan yet. Your account manager can turn it on.
If you belong to more than one organisation, select your organisation's name above the menu and choose another one. You'll then see that organisation's work.
Check your notifications
- Select . The number on it is how many are unread.
- Select a notification to open it, or select Mark all as read.
Read product updates
You only see updates for the parts of DAIV your organisation has. Each change is marked New, Improved or Fixed.
- Select View updates on the banner, or Product Updates in the sidebar. The banner closes.
- To close the banner and stay on the page, select the button beside View updates.
Make more room
- Select Minimise sidebar.
- Select Expand sidebar to show the labels again.
Move around inside a project
Post-Execution
- Go to Active Projects and select a project.
- Select a tab, such as Head contract, Documents or Diary.
- Select Projects to go back to your list of projects.
Ask the DAIV assistant
Ask about contracts, project work, and how to use the modules your organisation has. The panel stays beside the page. If you move to another page it minimises, and the thread is still there when you open it again.
Ask a question
- Select .
- If the question is about a job, select the project in the chat header. When both modules are on, the list is grouped under Pre Execution and Post Execution.
- Enter your question and send it. Wait for the reply to finish before you send the next one.
Be specific — name the clause, finding or outcome. Open any citation and check the source before you rely on it in a formal submission.
Attach a photo or a file
Select Attach photos or file. You can't mix photos and a document in the same message.
| Kind | Limits |
|---|---|
| Photos | JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or HEIF — up to 5, 20 MB each |
| Documents | One PDF, DOC or DOCX |
Start work from chat
On an active Post-Execution project you can edit, with the head contract scanned and the agent approved, you can ask DAIV to start a variation or an extension of time, lodge a diary, or review a diary suggestion.
DAIV asks any follow-up questions in one message. Say you're ready to start if you want it to go ahead with what you already gave. When a run starts, finish the remaining steps on the agent screens. See Run and review agents on a project, Run a variation, Claim an extension of time and Diary, inbox and WhatsApp.
If something doesn't work
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| The answer is too general | Select the right project and attach the PDF or photos |
| DAIV declined the question | Keep it about construction or project work in DAIV |
| Can't start a variation or extension of time | Post-Execution is on, the scan has finished, and that agent is Approved & live |
| Lost the panel | Select again. The thread is usually still there |
History in the chat header opens an earlier topic. Start a new chat when you change question or project.
Formal submissions, approvals and notices stay on their own screens. Chat is not a sign-off.
