A project is a space dedicated to a subject you need to work on. 

This allows to have a specific context for your work, your data and the people you want to collaborate with.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Create a new project

The Projects tab is the first one on the left menu.

Click on it and then click on "New project" to start building your space.

You will need to add:

  • a name (mandatory)
  • a description: this is optional but highly recommended

Your project is now created, but empty!

Go to Organize your resources to see how to bring data to your project.


Work on a project

Now that your project is created, you can build your work environment by adding resources, getting knowledge from them, writing documents and collaborating with others.

Manage my Todo (Overview)

The Overview tab of the project is a dashboard with your project information on the left and a Todo list on the right. 

In the Todo list, you can add items with:

  • a name or title
  • a description
  • a priority

This can help you organize your and your collaborators tasks and make sure you stay on track with your work.

Get knowledge from my data (Resources)

In a project, you can use existing collections or create new ones to have the necessary data for completing your work.

Once your data is ready, you can start structuring it and enriching it: ask questions, extract specific data, get information online and more.

This is managed from the Resources tab.

To know more, check the articles Organize your resources and Extract knowledge from your resources.

Write documents (Editor)

In the Editor tab, you can write documents.

Once you have collections available in your project space, you can use them as references to support your writing.

To know more, check the article Write a dynamic document.

Launch tasks (Tasks)

From the Tasks tab, you can run different types of actions:

  • Q&A: ask questions and check compliance criteria
  • Extract meta: extract data from your documents
  • Biblio-search: get new resources from external databases

To know more, check the article Launch tasks.

Ask for a review (Reviews)

From the Reviews tab, you can consult the different reviews (finished or ongoing) of your project.

Reviews allow you to get feedback and validation on your work.

To know more, check the article Get your work reviewed.

Collaborate on a project

If you want to collaborate on a project, you will need to give access to your project and its resources to your coworkers.

You will have to use policies.

Project policies

First, go to your project settings by clicking on the cogwheel on top right of your screen.

Then select a policy or create a policy. 

Users in this policy will have access to your project with READ or WRITE permissions:

Collection policies

To apply a policy to a collection, you need to go to the Library and find your collection


Please note that this access applies to the collection and not to the project.

If the collection is used in another project, it does not mean the user will have access to the project.
