Using Projects

MaterialsCommons organizes data in a hierarchical structure. Projects are at the top and hold related research. The project is where you will set access - ie who can access the project. You can have an unlimited number of projects.

Project Navigation/Actions

All project actions and navigation can be found in the side navbar. Using the navbar gives you access to files, studies, samples and computations, project members, and other actions. The project navbar is always available as long as you are in a project.

Project Members

A project can have an unlimited number of users. Membership can be modified at any time. Only users with a Materials Commons account can be added to a project.
