Interior Design Program Guide: Material Bank

Search Filters

• Search filter options are advanced with over 160 filters to find the right materials for your project, faster than ever.
• Filters display specifically for your search criteria to help you easily narrow results.

Save, organize and share materials on customized boards! Invite your project team to your board to collaborate in real-time.

Simply pin a material to your virtual board anywhere you see the pushpin icon.

The "Tag" feature allows you to create tags for any of the materials on your board. These are useful as additional search filters and when collaborating to see comments (e.g. why a particular material was chosen, etc.). 

Note the various icons/symbols for additional features:

•  Your initials in the yellow circle = the owner of the board.
• "Invite" =  email your board. The recipient must have a Material Bank account to view the board. 
• "Export" = export your board to Excel as a spreadsheet or finish schedule.
• "PDF" =  instantly  create folders of any related available manufacturer spec sheets and collateral.

 Additional Tips:

• Your own visual content can also be uploaded (up to 2MB per file) onto your board using the gray box with the plus symbol. 

• To DELETE an item from your board hover over the item then select the trash icon. 

Your board when closed will appear as a square with 4 materials displayed. Simply click on the board to expand it and see the full contents.
