2. after the click, the system shows a wizard composed of three areas:

  • the stepper located below the project information bar

  • a description section (if foreseen) 

  • and the contents section that changed depending on the step

and structured in four steps:

  • in the first step there is a summary of the main fields related to the project. To proceed click on Next button at the bottom right of the page

Please note that, the information is not editable, to edit some fields you have to go back to the project detail view through the “x” icon that you find in the project information bar.

  • in the second step there is a summary list of inputs and/or outputs dataset related to the project. To proceed click on Next button at the bottom right of the page

  • in the third step there is a list of best practices and guidelines you need to make sure you have followed and adopted. If you have not followed one or more of the items listed, you can return to the project by clicking on Open the project at the end of the checklist; if you have applied and confirmed all the items listed, you can click on Finalize to proceed

  • the fourth and final step confirms that the publication request has been successfully completed. 

Please note that at the end of the publication process, you will receive an email notification confirming or not the publication in the catalogue of DataLabs.

A published project will be visible to all the users authenticated and not. Different information and actions will be made public depending on whether the user is authenticated or not. In particular, a guest user can see information about a public project by clicking on the appropriate project record within the Homepage or within the List of Projects.

Then, the project detail view will be shown with a minimum set of information which are:

  1. the project information bar with:
  • Title: field that identifies the name assigned to the project
  • Creator: field that identifies the name of the user who created the project
  • Programming Language: field that identifies the programming languages in which th project was implemented

  • Working Group: field that could containa web link to a section that the Project creator has previously created within the LifeWatch Community
  • Help Desk topic: field that could contain a web link to a specific section defined externally to the platform and accessible within the Help Desk platform

A guest user can only download a zip file about the selected project.


Instead for an authenticated user, therefore a Researcher, will be available all the information associated with the project and always accessible through Homepage or List of Projects. Regarding the possible actions, an authenticated user can also clone the project (see the relevant paragraph).
