Navigating Applications and Managing Saved Projects

Learn how to move between applications and find, share, and organize your saved work in Numetric/AASHTOWare Safety.

Written by Lauren Miller

Numetric offers a suite of transportation safety applications, including Crash Query, Collision Diagrams, Safety Analysis, Advanced Network Screening, Network Screening, Dashboards, and Alternative Design. All of these applications are available from a single navigation menu, so you can switch between them without signing in again.

Numetric and AASHTOWare Safety are the same software. State DOTs that license it through AASHTO see AASHTOWare Safety branding on the sign-in page and application headers, and agencies that purchase directly from Numetric see Numetric branding. The applications and navigation work the same way in both.

This article explains how to identify which application you are in, move to a different application, and find and manage the projects saved in each application’s library.
​

Navigate Between Applications

1. Sign in. Enter your email address and password on your organization’s sign-in page.

Manage Saved Projects

You can manage a saved project from two places: the toolbar inside the open project, or the application’s library.

From an open project: After you save a project, these options appear in the toolbar in the top-right corner of the screen:

  • Add to Favorites: Add the project to the Favorites list in your library.

  • Make a Copy: Create a new copy of the project while keeping the original saved version.

  • Share: Share the project with other users.

  • Delete: Permanently delete the project.
