New Phase I Tool Tutorial Available

Snapshot of the top of the PIT tutorial page

A quarter of the respondents to the Phase I short survey (held last spring across all the semester 2017B Gemini proposers) have reported that they experienced issues working with some sections of the Phase I Tool (PIT). In response to this valuable feedback, we have arranged a new PIT tutorial web page.

This page comes in time for semester 2018A proposers and it contains:

1. Updated videos (which can also be watched from the Gemini YouTube channel);
2. Reorganized and streamlined information;
3. Specific sub-pages with detailed information about the PIT sections (note that these pages were already present prior to the recent update).

We understand that many sections in the PIT can still be improved, but this effort is planned on a much longer timescale, and wasn’t possible to complete in time for the current call for proposals. In the meantime, we hope that this new web documentation will help users when dealing with the less intuitive parts of the PIT.

For comments on the PIT tutorial, please contact sus_inquiries@gemini.edu. For questions about the PIT, please send a helpdesk ticket.
