2 How to Start
This step-by-step guide will help users get started with the application, including navigation through the interface.
In the initial version of Analycyte, there are no user accounts or login features. These features may be developed in future updates.
2.0.1 Dashboard Page
The main application page is located under the Dashboard tab.
Select a folder button: Users can select the base of an
analycyte-projectssession by choosing Select folder.If a project folder exists, it will be opened.
If there is no existing project folder, the user will be prompted to fill out a form about the project.
Users can choose a project description and the name of a sub-folder. If no ‘folder name’ is specified, the project folder will increment with a name like ‘p000X’.
- Toolbox Navigation: Users can navigate through the application using the toolbox.
