LBT archive new features

US/Arizona
Description

LBT Archive is moving to a user oriented approach. A new web interface has done and a new accounting system adopted. New features that well describe the advantages of this approach could be summarized in the possibility to create and manage groups of users. The usage of groups associated to the observing programs allow people to be easily added or remove persons to the working teams. The more a fine grain is define , the more it is powerful. Some other aspects on data management will be described and user manuals illustrated.
