General

Project Browser is the main widget for managing projects and general information.

The elements are displayed hierarchically. You can collapse and expand all the tree elements by clicking the buttons on the viewer toolbar. You can also collapse and expand any individual element by clicking that element.

In this viewer you can invoke create, modify and delete projects, applicants, application references and priority claims. Additionally, you can import and export projects.

List elements

There are four types of lists of elements:
  1. applicant list, called Applicants
  2. application references list, called References
  3. priority claims list, called Priority Claims. It has four sub-lists:
    1. national priority claims
    2. regional priority claims
    3. international priority claims
    4. unknown priority claims
  4. sequences list, called Sequences

Each list displays the number of elements it contains. The list elements are visible in the tree, except for the sequences. These are visible in the Sequence Browser.

Creating an element

To create an element, right-click the parent of the element.
Then click Create 'element type' . A create dialog will open.

Removing an element

To remove an element, right-click the parent of the element. Then click Remove 'element type'. After you answer the confirmation dialog, the element is removed from the database and viewer.

One exception is the applicant, which will be removed only from the project but not from the applicant database.

This removes the applicant from the project, but not from BiSSAP (see Advanced applicant management).

Removing all elements from a list

To remove all the elements from a list, right-click the list. Select Remove all 'element type's from the pop-up menu.

Verify

Right-click the project, and then select Verify from the pop-up menu. This starts the verification. Once the verification is complete, BiSSAP opens a Report Viewer with a list of all errors. You can click the error to open an editor in which to make the necessary corrections.
