**Data Depot**: The Data Depot section provides documentation on managing your data including various methods to transfer your data to DesignSafe, guidance for including DesignSafe in your NSF Data Management Plan, and a checklist for data curation when working with a NHERI Experimental Facility. There is extensive guidance for curating and publishing your datasets for reuse by others including working with protected/regulated/sensitive data. -**Tools & Apps**: This section contains user guides for how to utilize our many offerings in data analytics, GIS and mapping, visualization, and our Jupyter Hub interacting with the data you bring to DesignSafe or that you discover in our Published datasets. +**Tools and Apps**: This section contains user guides for how to utilize our many offerings in data analytics, GIS and mapping, visualization, and our Jupyter Hub interacting with the data you bring to DesignSafe or that you discover in our Published datasets. **Simulation Applications**: We host a wide array of open source and licensed software applications commonly used in natural hazards research. **Use Cases**: To help users fully embrace DesignSafe functionalities, we have developed a suite of Use Cases that demonstrate how DesignSafe is being used to advance natural hazards research. Practical products, examples, and scripts developed as part of these Use Cases are provided at the links below. The different simulation codes, tools, and DesignSafe resources used in each Use Case are also indicated. **Advanced Topics**: This section of the user guide provides information for how to request an HPC allocation to gain access to TACC's high performance computing resources when your research needs larger scale computation than the our portal applications provide. For researchers who develop their own software tools, a guide to how to use our API to access your data and run applications is provided. - - diff --git a/user-guide/mkdocs.yml b/user-guide/mkdocs.yml index a6792add..42a4bebd 100644 --- a/user-guide/mkdocs.yml +++ b/user-guide/mkdocs.yml @@ -33,6 +33,10 @@ plugins: - include-markdown nav: + - DesignSafe Essentials: + - Getting Started: index.md + - Account Help: account-help.md + - Data Depot: - Overview: datadepot.md - Managing Data:
