Projects

Overview

Projects serve as containers within the CAG database where groups, sub-groups, and activities are organised. Administrators use projects to create and manage groups, organisations, and individual profiles. These elements can be reused across various projects, facilitating streamlined collaboration and efficient resource management. In terms of CAG hierarchy, the project would be the CAG itself.

By structuring data into projects, the CAG database ensures a clear and organised framework that enhances the ability to track progress, allocate resources, and manage tasks effectively. This modular approach not only improves usability for administrators but also provides a cohesive environment for users within each group to interact and engage with relevant data.

In the diagram below, projects are highlighted to illustrate their placement and significance within the larger CAG database ecosystem.
