The DPS Website is one of the two main components of the DPS System (the other being the Entry Editor). Before accessing the Website you should be familiar with the DPS Workflow (as explained in the Introduction) as this gives a very useful explanation of where the DPS Website fits in. Understanding the overall Workflow is pivotal to mastering the system.

When a new project is set up using the DPS System all Users who work on that project will be given access to a website. This is what we call the 'DPS Website'. This is not a public website and it will require Users to log in.

The content of the DPS Website is primarily made up of tools for project management, such as batch creation, scheduling, progress reports and so on. For this reason, the DPS Website is an area of the DPS System primarily designed for Project Managers and System Administrators. However, other users (such as Editors and Lexicographers) will also need to access the DPS Website from time to time, to retrieve batches. The majority of Users will not need to access most areas of the DPS Website, so this section of the User Manual has been divided into three parts:
