Why does project structure matter?
Projects are the highest level of organization in Benching. Projects contain notebook entries, entities, and can be subdivided into folders.
Projects dictate:
-
how and where data is saved
-
who can access data
Projects will streamline data management for your team, so we recommend carefully designing your project structure when you start using Benchling. Users who've been granted admin permissions can create new folders for your organization.
Use a recommended framework to set your project structure
To set your lab or team up for success on Benchling, we recommend using one of the following frameworks to design your organization's project structure:
Structured by group or function
Use this framework if you have specialized groups to which entries and data should be tied.
Structured by target
Use this framework if you want to organize your organization's data based on specific targets you're studying.
Structured by program or long-term goal
Use this framework if you want to organize your organization's data based on specific targets you're studying.
