Overview

ProDex runs in any modern browser — there’s nothing to install. Your administrator sends you a link, you sign in with your work identity, and your account is created automatically on first login.

​
Signing In

ProDex uses your organization’s identity provider — Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, or custom SSO — so there are no separate ProDex credentials to manage. Sign in with your work account. If sign-in fails, there’s no password to reset: contact your IT team or ProDex administrator.

​
Your Role

Every user has one of two access levels:
  • Member: full access to the platform’s capabilities — Chat, Knowledge Base, Workflows, Projects, and every surface in the left sidebar. This is the default for new users.
  • Admin: everything a Member has, plus team management — inviting new users, adjusting roles, and configuring organization-wide settings.
Admins manage the roster through the Team item in the bottom cluster of the left sidebar — Members don’t see it. Personal preferences (language, theme, desktop notifications, logout) live in the account menu, which everyone opens by clicking their email address at the bottom of the sidebar.

​
What You See on First Login

After signing in, you land on the Chat surface: a fresh conversation with Dexter ready to go. This is the app’s default entry point every time you open ProDex. If you haven’t been added to an existing factory, the screen prompts you to create one with a prominent Create new factory button in the middle of the page. You can also start a factory anytime from the factory selector at the top of the left sidebar:
  1. Open the factory selector (it will indicate that no factory is active).
  2. Choose New Factory.
  3. Give it a name that reflects the operation you’re modeling — a plant, a line, a business unit — and confirm.
The factory becomes your active workspace, and every capability in the sidebar becomes scoped to it. From there, the fastest way to get moving is to tell Dexter in Chat what you’re trying to do — profile a dataset, model a line, plan production — and it will guide you into the right workflow.
Your First Project walks you through the most common first session: upload a data file, answer Dexter’s questions, and walk away with your first artifact.

​
Factory Visibility and Sharing

Your organization’s workspace is multi-tenant and isolated: other organizations can never see your data. Within your organization, factories are the unit of scoping — data and artifacts inside a factory are isolated from other factories, and switching factories switches your entire working context. The factory selector popover carries the factory-level actions:
  • New Factory: create a new workspace
  • Factory files: browse the files backing the active factory
  • Sharing: give teammates access to a factory — see Factory Management for how shared factories behave
  • Factory settings: configure the active factory
Each factory in the All factories list also has a star to mark it as a favorite, keeping your most-used workspaces at the top.
Sharing a factory with a teammate hands them their own copy — later changes you make do not automatically appear in it. See Factory Management for how shared factories behave.
