Applications
Software that can be categorized as ‘Applications’, i.e., not compilers, tools etc. For a full list see the A-Z list.
Instructions shown only to logged-in-to-wordpress users
The tables of apps for each category are now auto-generated. You should add two custom fields to each software app page:
RI_Summary giving the summary description of the app, and RI_Cat which can be a comma-separated list of one or more of: bioinf, chemistry, cfd, fea, gpu, maths, physics, ml, prog, viz. Categories tool, compiler, library can also be used but these will be displayed in tables on the appropriate page (see menu on left), not here. To add these custom fields you will need to click on ‘Screen Options’ (top-right when in the page editor) and tick ‘Custom Fields’ and then the boxes you need to fill in appear at the bottom of the page editor.
