2.1 What are Sequoia Projects?

Updated 8/28/2026

The Projects page helps you organise research initiatives, analysis jobs, and generated output files within Sequoia.

Most apps require you to select a project before launching a job. The selected project provides a central location for the job, associated files, and results.

View your projects

The Projects table displays the projects available to you.

[Screenshot 1: Use the full Projects page. Add a red box around the project table.]

For each project, you can view:

  • Name
  • Description
  • Status
  • Created date

An Active status indicates that the project is currently available for use.

Create a new project

Select New Project to create a project.

[Screenshot 2: Red box and arrow pointing to the “New Project” button.]

Use a clear, descriptive project name so that colleagues can recognise the work it contains. For example:

  • Cardiometabolic Target Discovery
  • Proteome-wide MR
  • IgAN Genetics Analysis

[Screenshot 3: Add a screenshot of the New Project form. Highlight the required fields and the button used to save or create the project.]

Search for a project

Use the search field to find a project quickly.

Enter a project name or other supported identifier, then select Search to update the table.

Filter projects

Select Advanced Filters to narrow the project list using additional criteria.

Use filters when you need to locate projects by attributes such as status or creation date, where available.

Sort the project table

Select the sort icon next to a table-column heading to sort the list.

[Screenshot 6: Red boxes around the sort icons in the Name and Created column headings.]

For example, you can sort projects alphabetically by name or by creation date.

Choose visible columns

Select Columns to control which table columns are displayed.

This allows you to tailor the project table to the information most relevant to your work.

Open project actions

Select the three-dot menu at the end of a project row to view available actions for that project.

Available actions may include viewing project details, editing project information, or opening associated content, depending on your access permissions.

Navigate between pages

Use the pagination controls below the table to move between pages of projects. Use the Show dropdown to change the number of projects displayed per page.

Tips

  • Create a separate project for each major research question, programme, or analysis stream.
  • Use consistent project names so that jobs and outputs are easy to locate later.
  • Select the correct project before launching an app; the project determines where the resulting files and job records are saved.
  • Use the project-row menu to access project-specific actions rather than creating duplicate projects.
