Outline
In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
- Create a new Project.
- Rename a project and/or project node.
- Remove a project and/or project node.
- Save project files that you have created.
Workspaces and Projects
In the Project Folders component there is a top-level object called a workspace. The workspace can contain one or more separate projects, and each project can contain opened data files and analysis results. An analogy might be that a workspace is like a drawer in a filing cabinet, and projects are individual folders in that drawer. Projects allow data to be grouped, for example by experiment. A project can contain many different types of data, for example microarray data, FASTA sequence files and graphical images. The workspace as a whole, with all its projects and data nodes, can be saved and restored. However, only one workspace can be open at one time.
All data must belong to a project.
