Project Management Dashboard

What is the project management dashboard?

The project management dashboard allows upload, management, and collaboration of data, analysis, Polly notebooks and reports. This can be accessed by clicking on the Manage Data card.

Creating a project

You can create a new project on Polly as described here:

• Click on Create on the right side

• A create project interface opens up. Using this interface, you can name your project, add labels to help identify this project in the future as well as add a detailed description.

The project management dashboard will update to show the new project.

Content within a project

A project contains all your data, analysis, notebooks, and reports. They can be accessed through the top panel.

Adding files to your workspace

• Using GUI

New files can be added within a project by clicking on Upload Files. This will open up the upload interface which will allow you to upload files from your local storage as well as use our available integrations for different cloud storage platforms such as Dropbox, Google Drive and Box.

• Using CLI

You can use PollyCLI as well to import your data directly within Polly. This is a more convenient option for uploading large data (more than a few GBs). The steps for the same are detailed here.

Creating a new folder

The project management dashboard allows you to store and manage your data in folders and sub-folders. To create a folder, click on Create Folder. Enter the name of the folder you want to create and click on Create Folder.

Navigating through a folder

The highlighted section in the image below shows the path of the directory you are in. You can click on the name of any folder within the path to select the folder you want to browse to.

Editing your project

The menu beside the project name shows the menu items to edit your project details.

Select Edit to rename and/or change the description of the project and click on Update.

Sharing your project

The menu beside the project name has the option to share your project. Select Share to share your workspace.

You can add the email of the Polly user account you want to share the project with under Share With input box. There are two types of project permission you can give to your users:

• Manage: This permission allows the collaborator to add and delete files, analysis, code, and reports within the project. They can restore any analysis within the workspace.

• Edit: This permission allows the user to only add new files, analysis, code and reports within the workspace. The cannot delete anything from within the shared workspace. They can also restore any analysis within the workspace.

On selecting the correct permission, click Update to add the user to the list of collaborators.

Each collaborator is represented with a user icon besides the project name. You can list all collaborators for a project by clicking on Show Collaborators in the Share interface.

Changing share permission for a user

Clicking on Show Collaborators opens up a list of all collaborators on the project. To change permissions for any collaborator use the drop down beside their name. To revoke any collaborator’s access, click on the cross icon beside the drop down.
