ESS-DIVE Has Released New Project Management Features

May 11, 2023 by Dylan O'Ryan

We are excited to announce that ESS-DIVE’s project management related services have been upgraded! You can now explore new tools and enhancements that make it easier to collaboratively manage project data with your team on ESS-DIVE.

  • *NEW* Project List: A list of every project that is approved to store data on ESS-DIVE. Quickly verify that your project name and PI information are up-to-date. 
  • *NEW* Project Data Manager role: Anyone given this role will have access to additional project information and features; this role is reserved for PIs and team members they approve.
  • *NEW* Project Teams: Create a group of ESS-DIVE users and provide a way to share data permissions with all members of that group; manage team members to control group data access.

If you are interested in working 1:1 with ESS-DIVE to assign data managers for your project or set up teams, you can request to schedule a 30-minute meeting with ESS-DIVE Support. Please reach out to ESS-DIVE Support (ess-dive-support@lbl.gov) to schedule a meeting time.

We will also be presenting a hands-on tutorial on these project management features at the ESS PI Meeting on May 16th at 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM PT / 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM ET. Additionally, we will be holding a webinar on June 26th from 10 AM – 11 AM PT / 1 PM ET – 2 PM ET that will focus on these new project management features. We will send out an email announcement later this month.

Project list and search

  • We now have a controlled list of every project approved to store and publish data on ESS-DIVE. 
    • All projects funded by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Environmental System Sciences (ESS) program are automatically approved, and should be included in this list.
    • If you are an ESS funded project and do not see your project in this list, please email ESS-DIVE Support at ess-dive-support@lbl.gov. 
  • After logging in with your ORCID, you can view Principal Investigator (PI) info; you can contact ESS-DIVE Support if any information is out of date.

 

Principal Investigators (PIs) can now assign project data managers

  • A Project Data Manager can access additional project information and features via the new “My Projects” page. PIs can be given this role at any time, but must register as a data contributor first.
  • PIs can assign other project data managers by completing the Add Project Data Managers form. All requested data managers must first register as ESS-DIVE data contributors.
  • If you’re a PI and became a data contributor before May 5th, you are already a project data manager and can access the “My Projects” page!  
    • PIs can reach out to ESS-DIVE Support at ess-dive-support@lbl.gov if you cannot access the “My Projects” page.
  • This new role does not affect access to datasets on ESS-DIVE. Project data managers will not receive default permission to access any datasets.

 

Create and share data with project teams

  • Project data managers can now create Project Teams on ESS-DIVE. Teams are groups of ESS-DIVE users, and provide a new way of efficiently sharing data permissions with those groups!

  • For project data managers: start creating teams for your project to leverage group data sharing in the future!
    • Choose team names that will help data contributors know which team they should share their data with.
    • Add/remove team members at any time to manage who can access datasets or data portals shared with that team.  
  • For data contributors: easily share your datasets with a group of people all at once, instead of sharing with one person at a time. Ask your project data managers which teams to share your data with.
    • For a refresher on how to share dataset permissions, visit our Share Data Permissions documentation.
  • Teams do not receive access to any datasets by default. Work with your project’s data contributors to enable team access to datasets.
