=== Overview ===

* The first tab named ''Overview'' will present you with a summary view of all entries in this investigation.
* You can change investigations with the arrowed buttons at the top.
* Clicking on a type of data will take you there. This is a shorthand: you can always browse to all datatypes using the tabs ''View data'', ''View annotations'', and ''View files''.
* Similarly, the ''Add'' button is a shorthand to be taken to the tabs of this data category (data, annotations or file) where you can start adding data with the ''Add new record'' button.
* The default view will display 4 entries for each type: use ''Show all'' to expand.

there also a short hand 

=== View data ===

* This tab allows you to add, view and remove data matrices. These are rectangular pieces of (raw) experimental data accompanied by row- and column names.
* Matrices themselves are annoted with the 'Data' entries, while their row- and column entries are annotated as separate (strong) datatypes found in the ''View annotations'' tab.
* There are a number of plugins that will help you deal with matrices:
 * Manager = Uploads data and views the numerical/textual data.
 * Heatmap = View numerical values as a customizable heatmap.
 * Rplot = Create graphical plots using R.
 * Inspector = Check whether annotations are missing.
 * Delete storage = Delete source data linked to this 'Data' entry.
 * ManagerDev = Advanced manager - currently under development!
