When should I use a container project?
Data can be stored on BOLD using both data projects and container projects. Container projects do not store data records; they store the projects that contain the data records. These containers can be very useful when organizing your data on BOLD, especially if you are working with a large number of records. For example, if you are trying to barcode the freshwater fishes of Canada, you may decide to make a data project for each collection site and to place those projects in a container project for each province or territory. BOLD Systems also offers the ability to merge multiple projects for analysis.
