Creating a new group in Mendeley (Project Managers)

Each project has two groups, "projectname" and "projectname_out" for the papers with data to be entered and the papers with data that has been entered. Papers in the _out group may contain data for future entry, for example, traits that are not listed in tab:traits.

Each project manager may have one or more projects, each project should have one group. Group names should refer to plant species, plant functional types, or other another project specific name. A list of current groups can be found in tab:projects. Please make sure that, at a minimum, Mike Dietze and David LeBauer are invited to join each project folder.
