Using Project Management Tools¶

Project database and the php tools called "project" are designed to divide experiment
sessions into related groups. Experiments in each project usually are of the same of similar
specimens or under the same long-term goal. Security can be added to the data of a particular
project although the current release does not include the particular mechanism used at NRAMM.
Please contact us if you need such implementation. The results from different sessions of the
same project may be combined for analysis at some later point by Appion.
