Projects group physical samples related to a specific initiative, allowing you to view and analyze all their data in one place. A project can contain any number of physical samples, and a physical sample can belong to multiple projects.

​
Project Types

When you create a project, you choose a template that determines how the project page is structured.

Growth Monitoring

Monitor the trajectory of a growth compared to reference runs.

Manual

A free-form project with no predefined structure.

​
Growth Monitoring

A Growth Monitoring project is configured with:
  • Tracking sample: the physical sample being actively monitored. Its data items (RHEED, metrology, optical, etc.) are plotted on a trajectory chart.
  • Reference group: a set of physical samples used as comparison baselines. References can be organized as either:
    • Categorical: each reference has a text label (e.g., “good”, “bad”, “marginal”)
    • Continuous: each reference has a numeric value (e.g., a growth parameter), with configurable min/max labels for the axis

​
Manual

A Manual project displays four sections:
  1. Notes: free-form text that auto-saves as you type
  2. Physical Samples: the samples assigned to this project, with a count badge and a link to add more
  3. Analysis Results: a chart aggregating processed results across all data items in the project
  4. Similarity: explore how data items in this project compare to others in your organization

​
Creating a Project

To create a project, provide a name, optional notes, and select a template (Growth Monitoring or Manual). After creation, you can add physical samples from the Physical Samples page by assigning them to the project using the Projects column.

Physical Samples

The core unit contained within projects.

Data Items

Individual files grouped under physical samples.
