How to record a new ESFRI project

First use case deals with the recording of information from ESFRI projects. ESFRI projects should be recorded in EGI CRM as an Account. To create an Account in EGI CRM:

  1. Log-in in EGI CRM
  2. From the top navigation blue menu, select Data Management and then Accounts
  3. From the shortcut toolbar, select the green plus sign. This will redirect you to the Account creation web form.
