Star Building

One search box for the whole portal.

Every other search box in here only looks at its own page. This one looks at everything at once — jobs, tasks, materials, emails, updates, the work log, quotes and contacts — and shows you what matches as you type, best first. Click any result to open the real record.

Typing searches. Pressing Enter asks. Search is free and never leaves your device. Type a real question and press Enter and it will also write you a short answer, with links to every record it used — that part sends just the matching records off to be read, and costs about a quarter of a cent. The running total is in the side panel.

Tips — type a job number, a person, a supplier or a location to find it. Put "quotes around a phrase" to match it exactly. Ask a full question and press Enter for a written answer.

Work orders forwarded from sales@starbpe.com.au land here. Check the details, then Approve to add it to your jobs (or Bin it).

Why this matters

All your data — jobs, variations, tasks, materials, invoices, contacts, rates & pricing, custom labels — lives in this browser's local storage. That storage is tied to where you open the file from. If you receive a new version of the app and open it from a different folder, the new file starts empty.

Use Export to save a backup file you can store anywhere (Dropbox, email, USB). Use Import on the new version to restore everything in one click. Also useful for moving between computers, or recovering after a browser data wipe.

Back up to the cloud

Pushes every job in this browser — and all its variations — up to the cloud, so the same data shows on your other devices (like your phone). Run this on the device that has your latest work (your desktop). It does not touch this browser's data; it only uploads a copy.

What's in your data right now

Export

Downloads everything as a single JSON file you can keep as a backup. Filename includes today's date so multiple backups stack chronologically.

Import

Pick a backup file (.json) to restore. You'll see a preview of what's in the file and confirm before anything overwrites your current data.

Danger zone — reset

Wipe everything in this browser's local storage and start from defaults. Cannot be undone — export a backup first if you might want to roll back.

Your account

Signed in as —. Signing out returns you to the login screen on this device only — nothing is deleted.

Version — — tell Claude this if something looks out of date.

Two-factor authentication

Adds a second step when you sign in: after your password you type a 6-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone. Someone who learns your password still cannot get in without your phone.
