- [Navigating The Panel](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/getting-started/navigating-the-panel.md): The layout stays consistent from page to page, so once you know where the main controls are, the rest of the panel should feel familiar.
- [Accessing DOT Panel](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/getting-started/accessing-dot-panel.md): DOT Panel is opened from an ImperialCAD community. There is no separate registration process, and users keep the same ImperialCAD account they already use elsewhere in the community.
- [Editing User Information](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/getting-started/editing-user-information.md): The user card in the bottom-left corner is more than a label. It is also the shortcut for updating the information attached to your current DOT session.

- [Crew Assignments](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/work-orders/crew-assignments.md): A single work order can have more than one crew. That is useful for larger scenes, traffic control, specialized equipment, or work happening at separate points along the same incident.
- [Completing, Cancelling, Deleting](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/work-orders/completing-cancelling-deleting.md): These actions may all remove a job from the active workload, but they do not mean the same thing.

- [Assignments, Tow Companies, Destinations](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/tow-requests/assignments-tow-companies-destinations.md): A tow request connects three moving parts: the DOT response, the company handling the tow, and the vehicle's final destination.
- [Managing, Completing, Deleting](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/tow-requests/managing-completing-deleting.md): As the call moves along, keep the request updated instead of waiting until the very end.
- [Road Closures](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/road-closures.md): Road Closures track where a roadway restriction starts and ends, why it is needed, which crews are handling it, and when it is expected to finish.
- [Statuses](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/road-closures/statuses.md): DOT Panel uses a short closure status list on purpose.
- [Creating & Managing](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/road-closures/creating-and-managing.md): A useful closure record should make the affected stretch of road obvious to someone who was not part of the original conversation.

- [Search, Filter, Export](https://docs.imperialcad.app/panels/dot-panel/road-closures/search-filter-export.md): Search by closure number, road name, boundary location, reason, or assigned crew. Filters may also narrow the list by status, type, direction, date, or crew.
