Quick Start Guides

We want you to get the most out of your time with Digital Production Control. To that end, we've created several Quick Start Guides to help you get up and running with DPC quickly and efficiently. 

Foreman, we understand you may never use many of the functions and features of DPC (and OST) so there is no reason you need to understand them. To get you to the point where you can effectively use DPC to manage your project however, you need to review the following articles, at a minimum.

Project Managers, you are not off the hook so easily. It is your responsibility to setup and manage the project correctly. Taking the time to learn how to use DPC correctly will save you countless hours down the road.  Please continue to the next article.
