A project is a particular aim that been carefully planned by an individual or a team. In Labii, a project serves as a container of records and is similar to a folder.
There are 3 different permission levels when joining a project:
Admin
Can edit project, can view/edit records of the project
Project manager
Edit
Can view/edit records within a particular project
Project member
View
Can only view records of a particular project
Members who do not need edit permission
The administrators can view all records even if they weren't granted any permissions at the project level. Edit permissions, however, are required for them to add a new record to the project or edit an existing record.
When a project is archived, all records become read-only.
A project acts as a valve between users and records. If a user has Read/Write permissions for a project, he/she can read/write all records in that project.
People can be grouped into Teams.
A Member determines whether People or Team have Read/Write access to a Project.
Each Record can be assigned to one or more Projects.
When configured, People on the left can view/edit Records on the right.
Once a project is added, project managers can manage all projects within the list view of projects and can access it by clicking Settings at the side menu and then select Projects.
You can search projects by typing a keyword into the search bar in the project list view, and then clicking Search. The search results can always be cleared by clicking the Clear button.
With the Filter function, you can limit the number of teams displayed. You can do that by clicking Active projects and then selecting a filter from the dropdown. Here are a list of filters:
All projects. Filter to display all projects.
Active projects. Filter to display the active projects.
