Tutorial: Fynbos in Siberia

This tutorial walks you through Information Hub from start to finish using a fictitious research project. Each section builds on the previous one, introducing progressively more powerful features. Work through them at your own pace -- whether in one sitting or over several days.

The scenario

Dr. Lena Mwangi is a botanist investigating whether South African fynbos plants can survive in Siberian conditions. She has established two field sites -- Site Alpha near Yakutsk and Site Beta near Novosibirsk -- where she is growing three experimental species:

• Protea siberica -- a cold-adapted protea hybrid

• Erica glacialis -- a frost-tolerant heath

• Restio permafrostii -- a restio adapted to permafrost soils

Her team visits each site regularly to measure plant growth, count leaves, and record soil conditions. She needs a central place to organise the research, collect data in the field, and share findings with collaborators.

Tutorial levels

Level	What you will learn
Beginner	Create a project, set up your team, build a table and form with a Location question, collect data, upload files, share forms, and see your observations on a map dashboard
Intermediate	Import and export spreadsheets, add photo capture to forms, manage tasks with kanban boards, document and share wiki pages, build a public app, work offline with the Jobs page, and configure email notifications
Advanced	Build analytical dashboards with scorecards and filters, use hidden and QR Code questions, lock rows, configure permissions, create templates, link tables with foreign keys, and use FILE columns to link to external resources
Super	Access data via the GraphQL API, generate analysis scripts, create key generators for human-readable IDs, pre-fill forms from URL parameters, review the audit log with rollback, set up webhooks, and configure dynamic file paths
