Getting Started with Projects in the Pro Tier

Projects are the primary manner in which researchers using Ovation organize themselves around a problem. Projects allow the project administrator to add team members from within the organization by simply searching their name, or add groups that have been created by the organization administrator. Projects also serve as the main repository for data collected during the course of the project, and activities serve to connect data across a project and ultimately provide the basis for a visualization of a project's provenance.

Within the pro tier of Ovation, adding an organization member also adds to the pool of data storage available to the organization. Ovation provides project level information on how much data your project teams use, in order to help you remain aware of your data storage usage across an entire organization.

Organization administrator can add a new project to an organization at any time from the administration dashboard, and assign organization members to those projects. Once the administrator has added team members, s/he can assign administrator permissions to the new project. Using this simple system allows a new organization on Ovation to quickly add their existing projects, those projects' teams, and all of the data associated with those projects quickly and easily.
