Labfolder Data is organised according to the following hierarchical model.
- [D] Folders
- [C] Projects
- [B] Entries
- [A] Entry Elements
- [B] Entries
- [C] Projects
Each level can contain any number of subordinated blocks (i.e. unlimited Projects in Folders, Entries in Projects, Entry Elements in Entries, etc.).
![]() | Entry Elements represent the core components of Labfolder. An element refers to a piece of data generated during your research, including texts, tables, images or files. Individual elements can be arranged accordingly within each Entry. |
![]() | Entries are composed of (an unlimited number of) Entry Elements. Think of an Entry as a single experiment that contains background information, a protocol, the produced data and their analysis. Each entry can be customised by adding a title, tags and dates. To maintain a logical structure for the ELN, Entries are indelible by design. |
![]() | Projects resemble project-based or person-based paper lab notebooks. Projects contain a collection of Entries, or files, and allow to archive, share and discuss the obtained data. Share settings can be defined for efficient collaboration. |
![]() | Folders are collections of any number of Projects and/or Subfolders which allows you to organise your data according to lab and research structures. |
