      Using Projects

      In this article you will learn how to create, manage, edit, archive and view archived projects.

      Projects are available for the following products:

      • Roast
      • Origin

      What are Projects?

      Using Projects is a way to group different lots and samples that share a common characteristic.

      You can label your batches and lots with custom characteristics you define.
      E.g. if you register various different lots from Honduras in the same year you can group them as the project "Honduras."

      You can later run different reports such as the Inventory Report to filter information on projects.

      Using Projects is optional.
