Quick Start
Access and getting Started
Requesting project space
If your research project does not have a project space yet, request it first. A Yoda functional admin will create the project space and invite you as a Group Manager.
Inviting colleagues
Once a project space is created a user with the Group Manager role can invite colleagues and set their access rights.
Logging in
VU users can login straight away after being added, with their primary email address as username.
Newly added external users receive an invitation, after accepting they can login with their institutional account or EduID, with their primary e-mail address as username.
Working With Your Project Space
A project space is a data folder for storing and organising data during your project. It has a structured name: research-<faculty>-<department>-<project>.
Data Transfer
Depending on the Operating System you are using, different methods can be used to transfer data to and from your data folder.
Working with analysis tools
Although you cannot directly access the data in Yoda with analysis tools, there are several ways to work with your data.
Searching
You can easily search for your files in Yoda using the built-in search tool.
Archiving and Publishing
Yoda enables you to add metadata to describe and contextualise your dataset.
Once your research is complete, you can archive and publish it, so you can reference it with a DOI.
