In tercen/starters-guide: Does not matter.

Understanding projects

Projects are another key concept in Tercen.

They are the "containers" where your research and calculations are held.

Projects can be set as private or public.

• Private projects can only be viewed by the person or team that owns them. They can be copied and adjusted only by these people.

• Public projects can be viewed and collaborated-on by the wider community. They can be copied by anyone and used as a basis for new research.

\

Projects have the following characteristics.

• A Project is created by a Team.
• Data is uploaded to a Project.
• Workflows are attached to a Project - to analyse and create visualisations of data.
• A Project holds the record of comments and feedback submitted by the Team or the Community.
• Supporting documents are uploaded to a project.

\

Tercen provides two ways to create a project.

• Create New - A blank project which you will add data and workflows to.

• Clone - A copy of an existing project, which you then modify.
