Familiar Data Interface – Adding Projects & Fields

This User Guide is designed to walk you through how to manually add projects and fields in Decision Lens.

Adding Projects Manually

1. From the ‘Projects’ page, click ellipses (…) and select the first item from dropdown ‘Add Projects.’
   
2. Copy and paste or enter data into the blank cells to fill in ‘Project’ name and other project metadata.
   
3. Once data is populated, select ‘Add Project.’
   
4. The ‘Project’ will now live on the bottom of your Projects list on the ‘Projects’ page.
   

Adding Fields Manually

1. From the ‘Projects’ page, click ellipses (…) and select the second item from dropdown: ‘Add Field.’
   
2. Add ‘Field Name’, ‘Description’, and ‘Choose a Data Type.’ Then select ‘Add Field.’
   
3. Your ‘Field’ may be one of many ‘Data Types.’ Our example shows a ‘Category Field’ that can be further defined by adding options, to which you will later assign each ‘Project.’
4. The new ‘Field’ will now populate as a column in your ‘Projects’ page.
