To create a new project in Uncountable, start by navigating to the project’s view by clicking on the Uncountable logo (1) in the top left corner.
Select the Material Family (2) to add your project to. Material Families are used to provide a distinction between different types of material developed within your organization or lines of business. Read more about Material Families here.
Select New Project and input the project details (3) including:
- New Project Name
- Parent Project: if the New Project should be nested to any of the existing Projects.
- Experiment Workflow: the default Workflow that will be used in the recipes of the project. You may read more about Workflows [here](workflow_post_link).
- Calculations Shown: Calculations can be added to your recipe based on attributes of your ingredients to track things like solids %, volume, stoichiometry and costs. Uncountable allows you to build these calculations by leveraging the ingredient attributes. To access your input calculations library click on the Inputs/Outputs tab, select Inputs then select the calculations tab.
You can also create Child Projects, which are projects nested within a parent project folder. By clicking on the cog icon next to a folder and selecting Add New Child Project (4), you may enter the details of the Child Project.
Uncountable will automatically populate the Parent Project field so that you can add a child project folder to the parent project.
Now that you have created your project, you can begin adding experiments. By default, anyone within your organization will be able to access the project, though access to customizations vary by customer.
