In order to retrieve a project from the ALMA archive, the OT provides an Archive Search Tool. This is started most conveniently from the toolbar, but can also be accessed from the File menu. This brings up a fairly straightforward dialogue that is shown in Figure 7.4. Projects can be searched for in various ways, for example using the project code or the user's ALMA username. If a user's credentials have already been entered into the Preferences menu, there will also exist shortcuts to show all the projects belonging to the current user and, if the user has sufficient privileges, all users. Only one search field is active at any one time and all fields are case-insensitive and perform partial matches.
