Working with projects
This section will familiarise you with the Tercen project screens.
You will learn the meanings of the icons, how to upload data, and view a Workflow.
\

\
\
Clone - This icon allows you to copy the project.\

Hovering your mouse over a project element will cause administration icons to appear.
\
\
Rename - Change the name of the element.\

\
A project has three main tabs for organisation.
\
\
Project - where the main elements of the research are accessed.\
Discussions - Where team members and public users can discuss and comment.\
Activities - A log of the comments and operations performed on the project.\
\
Selecting the Activities tab will show a history of the project.
\
Any comments or changes are logged here.
They are listed in a descending timeline.
Clicking on a link will bring you to the relevant event.
\
Selecting the Discussions tab will show the forums where feedback is shared.
\
\
Discussion threads can be created and comments added by anyone with permission to view the project.

\
Upload data {-}
\
\
Click New data set to add a data file
\
\
Give your data a name.
Browse to the location of the data file and select it
Tercen will attempt to detect the type of data file you have added.
\
\
You can over-ride the settings by selecting the following
- Separator character
- Style used for quotes
- Encoding Type
Latin 1 is the simplest encoding type but does not recognise all possible diacritical marks.
If you have data in a language with many accent marks, encode your data as UTF-8 before uploading.
\
Tercen will attempt to recognise your data and will show you error messages to help debug it.
When your data is recognised Tercen will display a representation of it.
You can click on the field type (e.g character) to change it to your preferred data type.
\
\
Click the `Next button
There is an optional screen where data in a wide format can be configured to have a long format.
This is useful for some later calculations.
\
\
Click Ok to complete the upload of your data
\
Import and view workflows {-}
Workflows can be imported from a .zip file that was exported from another project.
\
\
\
New Workflows can be created from the function bar.
\
\
A pre-existing Workflow can be viewed, and edited, by clicking on its link.
\
\
Creating or viewing a workflow will bring you to the Workflow builder page
\
\
For more detailed information on creating and modifying workflows see Chapter 10: Understanding Workflows.
\
Adding Documentation {-}
Documents can be added to a project through the function bar.
The New File button opens a text editor to write a file directly into Tercen
\
\
Files created in different programs are attached using the Import File button.
\
\
\
Next... Navigating through Workflows.
