# INNOVA Learning Guide

# Core Components of INNOVA

#### **1. Workspaces**

- **Definition**: Workspaces are organizational units within INNOVA where users can manage multiple projects. Each workspace is owned by a user (workspace owner) who can invite collaborators.
- **Functionality**: Workspaces allow users to structure their projects and manage access and collaboration. Users can set up multiple workspaces to separate projects by different regions, crops, or objectives.
- **Roles**: 
    - **Owner**: Full control over workspace and projects, can invite or remove collaborators.
    - **Collaborators**: Can view and interact with projects but cannot modify or delete the workspace.

#### **2. Projects**

- **Definition**: A project within a workspace serves as the primary unit of analysis and tracking. Each project is associated with one or more watchlists, which define the specific models, inputs, and areas of interest.
- **Roles**: 
    - **Owner**: Full control over project settings and can invite workspace members as participants.
    - **Participants**: Can view project details and interact with watchlists but cannot edit project settings.

#### **3. Watchlists**

- **Definition**: Watchlists represent the modeling core of INNOVA, allowing users to analyze specific areas, crops, and conditions using model-driven insights.
- **Inputs**: 
    - **Model Version**: Specifies the model type (e.g., Soil Suitability v1.2, Climate v2.3).
    - **Area of Interest**: Defines the geographical scope (e.g., state, county, custom geojson).
    - **Model-Specific Variables**: Each model has specific input requirements, like soil type, pH, or climate forecast.
- **Outputs**: 
    - Predictive analytics, yield projections, soil suitability scores, and custom outputs depending on the model version.

#### **4. Invite Team (Collaborator and Participant Management)**

- **Functionality**: Allows workspace owners to manage team access across projects and watchlists, restricting permissions based on role to maintain control over data and settings.
- **Roles and Permissions**: 
    - Workspace and project-level access management, with role-based restrictions to ensure secure collaboration.

#### **4. GIS**

- **Functionality**: The platform includes a sophisticated GIS interface for spatial analysis and visualization.
