Overview:
The CONNECTION Center is intended to be each users launch point into CONNECTED Projects and Services, accessible via https://connect.bentley.com/ It is a collection of tiles that includes Learn Content, Recent Projects, Shared Content, your usage activity, and My Support options. As the CONNECTION Center evolves additional tiles and options may be included.

If not, registration can be completed through the CONNECTION client. Once registered, the sign-in process can be continued from the CONNECTION client as well as through other CONNECT Edition products.

The Recent Projects tile
The Recent projects tile enables CONNECTED Users to select a current CONNECTED Project or register a new one. The tile will display the last 5 CONNECTED Projects you selected. Selecting a CONNECTED Project from this tile will open up the Project portal, where the Project portal displays the available Services associated to the CONNECTED Project along with reporting options.

The Recent projects tile provides an option to see additional CONNECTED Projects that are not in the recent projects list. Select the magnifying glass at the top of the tile.
The Projects page will show an expanded list of CONNECTED Projects. Additionally, there are options to view designated Favorites, Recent Projects (the default view) and the ability to Search for CONNECTED Projects that are not listed. The ability to Register a new project propagates throughout all of these options via the Register a project option in the upper-right corner.
Favorites – A collection of the CONNECTED Projects that you have designated as a favorite. To mark a CONNECTED Project as a favorite in order for it to be grouped under this section, simply select the star next to the name of any CONNECTED Project. The star will be blue to separate it from the other CONNECTED Projects. Select the star again to remove the favorite status.
Recent – As noted above, an expanded list of your CONNECTED Projects.
Search – The option to find additional CONNECTED Projects not marked as a favorite or in the Recent list. To search, put the first couple letters of a word in the search field. *Do not add a wildcard (*) after any letter(s) or name you enter. The search will return those CONNECTED Projects with whatever is in the search field, either in the name of the Project itself or in any of the properties of the CONNECTED Project.
The Personal Share tile
The Personal Share tile is a collection of content that a CONNECTED User has made available for consumption by other CONNECTED Users. The current available content formats that can be shared are i-models and PDFs.
Selecting the More option opens the ‘Personal Share’ page, which is an expanded list of the shared content.
Shared content is produced by using the MicroStation CONNECT Edition and then published to the My files location. The ‘My files’ page enables users to manage their published content.
‘My files’ is associated with a CONNECTED User, not with a CONNECTED Project, so the consumer of the content doesn’t need to be associated to a project.
The "Shared with me" page is the location of content that has been shared with you by another CONNECTED User.
*For more information on Personal Share, please review the ‘Personal Share’ Support Solution on Communities.
The My Activity tile
The My Activity tile shows you your Project and Application usage. You can see usage by week, month, quarter, or all. You can also browse to your Project Time Log report via Bentley’s Hosted SELECTserver by clicking the View Report button.
*For more information on the My Activity tile, please see the ‘My Activity’ Support Solution on Communities.
