Navigate assets

You can navigate assets using the tree on the left panel. This tree is organised using a "project-subject-study-dataset" data model.

Create and modify subjects

Before imaging, project CI or delegate has to create subjects. To create a new subject, select the project on the left panel and choose "Action > Create subject" on the menu or right click on the project and select "Create subject" from the context menu.
