ERDA basic functions

From Home, you can open your apps and add them to your ERDA front page.

Click Add to add or remove apps from the front page.

Files is the main entrance to your research data in ERDA. Right click on a folder or file to see the most common actions.

• Create File opens an editor, where you can write a new file.
• Upload File opens an upload window. To add several files at once, use Add files…
• Click Start upload.

Edit files directly with Edit in the right-click menu.

Double-click a file to open it in the browser. If the browser cannot open it, it will be downloaded. 

Changes made to a downloaded file are not saved to ERDA. Remember to upload the file back to ERDA.

Use Workgroups to share files and collaborate in ERDA.

• Click Request membership (the small +) to request access to a group.
• Click Request ownership (the cog wheel) to request co-ownership of a group.
• Click Create workgroup at the bottom of the page to add a new group.

You can add websites to your workgroup to display it for the group members or the entire internet. See ERDA Data sharing.

Archives lets you create a frozen archive of your research data in ERDA, i.e. a still image saved to ERDA.

Use the app to view your archives, create a new archive, inspect an archive, edit it, and, if you have the right access, delete it.

Use Settings to change ERDA's standard settings and o.a. the pages' appearance.

To use the basic ERDA functions, you won't need to change the settings.

Use Setup to access ERDA's advanced settings, and a.o. set up backup to ERDA and configure effective access. Read more here: ERDA Setup.
