Curation User's Guide

Welcome to the Innovate to Grow platform! This guide will help you navigate and understand the features within the Past Projects page, and allow you to help curate collections of previous projects with little to no worry.

Getting Started

To begin, it is recommended to create an account or log in to access your personalized dashboard. From there, you can begin to start your new personal curation by giving your curation a name. After you came up with your title, you're able to begin searching for and select particular projects that past student teams have worked with other companies.

If you aren't logged in, don't worry. You will still be able to manage and curate your own built list of projects, but once you leave the page, your curation won't be able to be accessed or edited anymore. If you forgot to sign in before you created your new curation, you can simply login again and it will be saved to your user afterwards.

Searching Projects

When the user first enters the Past Projects page, they can start using the tools in the Search Tables and view past projects below your Merged Search Results. Here, you're able to search for certain keywords or companies that are featured in the large list of Capstone projects that were partnered with UC Merced students to solve.

Once you find a project that you like, you can click on the small box to the left of the project's name to select your favorites. Multiple projects can be selected, and there is no limit to how many you can add to your lists.

Once you have selected all the projects you want, click on the Keep Selected Rows button at the bottom of the page before selecting the other button labeled Save/Merge Results. This will add all of your selected projects into your new Merged Curation.

Saved Merged Results

This table will begin to automatically fill itself from all of the specified projects entered by the user after the Save/Merge Results button was selected. This will provide as your main gateway to view all of your curations selected projects and their details.
