Create a new project

The first step in documenting a dataset is to create a new project. You do that by clicking on CREATE NEW PROJECT in the My projects page. Select Microdata as data type. This will open a new, untitled project Home page.

In the Templates frame, select the template you want to use to document the dataset. A default template is proposed; no action is needed if you want to use that template. Otherwise, switch to another template by clicking on the template name. Note that you can at any time change the template used for the documentation of a project. The selected template will determine what you see in the navigation tree and in the metadata entry pages.

Switching from one template to another will not impact the metadata that has already been entered; no information will be deleted from the metadata.

Once a project has been created, you can import the data files (if available) and start documenting the dataset.
