Summary Information
Once the proposal is complete, various pieces of summary information can be obtained by right-clicking on the relevant node in the Project Tree. Of particular interest to most PIs is the amount of time required for the entire project and that can be seen in all of the following summaries.
The summaries come in four varieties:
- Science Goal summaries: These consist of a single page and show a lot of technical detail. These are, in fact, mainly to be used by the technical assessors when reviewing the submitted proposal, but may also be useful for the PI. They also include the contents of the Technical Justification node. Right-clicking on a Science Goal will provide access to its summary whilst the same on the Planned Observing node can show all Science Goal summaries together.
- Proposal summary: This single page (effectively a ``Cover Sheet'') consists of information entered in the Proposal node (title, abstract, etc.) plus a very brief summary of the Science Goals. It also gives the total time calculated for the proposal, separately for the 12-m Array (all configurations) and the ACA. The names of the investigators are no longer shown.
- Whole proposal summary: This is a combination of the previous two summaries, plus the scientific justification PDF.
- Project time summary: Information of the total amount (and different types) of time, as well as data rates and volumes can be viewed in the OT itself (as opposed to in a generated PDF) using this feature. This is available from the Toolbar, the Tool menu or by right-clicking on the project tree.
