Project settings

Project tasks and views

Before RDMO 1.6, tasks and views were completely hidden from the user, if no tasks or views have been configured. Now, interface elements are displayed regardless. If you don’t need tasks and/or views in your RDMO instance, they can be hidden using:

PROJECT_ISSUES = False
PROJECT_VIEWS = False

Automatically synchronize tasks and views to projects

Note

This feature was introduced in RDMO 2.3.

Tasks and views can be configured to “belong” to specific catalogs. By default, this information is only used to filter the tasks and views for newly created projects. Afterwards, users can asign any task or view to any project.

Optionally, RDMO can be configured to automatically update projects when the catalog for a task or view is changed. This can be done independently for tasks and views:

PROJECT_TASKS_SYNC = True
PROJECT_VIEWS_SYNC = True

If these settings are set, the user interface elements for changing the tasks or views in a project are hidden.

Sending tasks

Sending tasks from projects is described in the section on email.

Nested projects

With RDMO 1.5, projects can be nested. If this feature is not desired, the UI elements to create a project hierarchy can be disabled using:

NESTED_PROJECTS = False

Visible projects

In order to make projects available to all users (e.g. to be used as a template), project can be made visible by site_managers or Admins (see Roles). This feature can be enabled using:

PROJECT_VISIBILITY = True

Project visibility can be restricted to certain sites in a Multisite Setup (i.e. when MULTISITE = True) or groups (when GROUP = True).

Project file quota

The size of files which can be uploaded for a project is limited (default: 10 MB). This can setting can be changed, e.g.:

PROJECT_FILE_QUOTA = '100Gb'

Project import and export plugins

Project import and export plugins are described in the chapter on plugins.

Project invitations

Project invitation settings are described in the section on email.

Restrict project creation

The creation of new projects can be restricted to certain groups. This is particularly useful in a scenario where users from one authentication method (e.g. LDAP) are automatically placed in the internal group, while users from another (e.g. ORCID) are not:

PROJECT_CREATE_RESTRICTED = True
PROJECT_CREATE_GROUPS = [
    'internal'
]

Project contact form

Note

This feature was introduced in RDMO 2.3.

Contact forms for each question in the interview can be used to allow the users to contact the management of the RDMO instance via email. To enable this feature use:

PROJECT_CONTACT = True
PROJECT_CONTACT_RECIPIENTS = [
    ('manager@example.com', 'Manni Manager <manni@example.com>'),
    ...
]
