Projects#

Projects provide a flexible workspace for organizing related grow information around a specific objective.

A Project can contain Goals and link to existing Cycles, Areas, Lights, Resources, Containers, and Genetics. Linking these items does not move them from their original locations. It brings them together on one Project page so they are easier to manage and review.

Projects can be used for grow experiments, breeding work, phenotype hunts, equipment comparisons, long-term planning, or any other work that involves multiple parts of GroBase.

Use Cases

Projects can be organized in different ways depending on what you want to accomplish.

Here are some examples:

  • I want to compare several Cycles that are part of the same experiment.

    Create a Basic Project and link the related Cycles, Areas, Lights, Resources, Containers, and Genetics.

    Add Project Goals to keep track of the questions you want to answer or the results you want to achieve.

  • I want to organize a phenotype hunt.

    Create a Project and link the related Cycles and Genetic Templates.

    You can also link the Areas, Lights, Resources, and Containers used during the hunt so the main parts of the Project are available in one place.

  • I want to track parent plants, offspring, and inherited traits.

    Create a Breeding Project.

    Breeding Projects include Lineages, which allow you to select parent plants, assign offspring, record dominant and recessive trait expressions, and predict possible trait outcomes.

Project Fields#

Field

Required

Description

Project Name

Yes

The name used to identify the Project.

Description

No

Additional information about the Project, its purpose, or its expected outcome.

Project Type

Yes

Controls whether the Project is Basic or Breeding.

Project Types#

Basic#

A Basic Project includes Project Goals and Project Elements.

Use a Basic Project when you want to organize related grow records without tracking plant parentage or inherited traits.

Breeding#

A Breeding Project includes Project Goals, Project Elements, and Lineages.

Use a Breeding Project when you want to track parent plants, offspring, dominant and recessive trait expressions, and possible inheritance outcomes.

How to Add a Project#

  1. Open the navigation menu and select Projects.

  2. Select Add Project.

  3. Complete the Project Fields.

  4. Select Save to create the Project.

To create another Project immediately, select Save and Add Another.

How to Edit or Delete a Project#

  1. Open the navigation menu and select Projects.

  2. Select the Project you want to manage.

  3. Select Edit near the top of the page.

  4. Update the fields and select Update to save your changes.

To delete the Project, select the trash icon and confirm the deletion.

Warning

Review the Project Goals, Elements, and Lineages before deleting a Project.

Project Page#

The Project page brings together its Goals, linked Elements, and Lineages.

Project Header#

The page header may display:

  • Project name

  • Project type

  • Date created

  • Date last updated

  • Description

  • Edit action

Summary Cards#

The summary cards provide quick information and shortcuts for the Project.

Available cards may include:

  • Goal completion percentage

  • Number of completed and total Goals

  • Number of linked Elements

  • Number of Lineages

  • Quick Add Goal

The Lineages card is only displayed for Breeding Projects.

Select a summary card to jump to its related section.

Project Goals#

Project Goals help you create and track objectives within a Project.

Project Elements#

Project Elements link existing Cycles and Templates to a Project.

Lineages#

Note

Lineages are only available for Breeding Projects.

Lineages allow Breeding Projects to track parent plants, offspring, traits, and possible inheritance outcomes.
