It is easy to create a new project

Projects are the highest level organizing units in PCAT. You can have as many projects as you like. Within a project, your can have multiple archives (the raw data) buckets (clustered data) and datasets (code-able data).

Three simple steps to create a project

To create a new project, click on the right arrow in the header of the Dashboard. If this is the first project you are creating, the arrow is just to the right of the text “Project: (no project selected)“. You will be asked to give the project a name and to click OK. Once you name your new project, you will have the option to start importing archives and adding specific peers or peer groups to the project.
