There are a handful of ways to find your PAD project in BigQuery, but CTA has two recommendations to make it easy to find your data: using PAD UI or manually starring your project!
Finding your project in PAD UI
When logged into PAD UI (https://cta.tools/), you'll see a list of your projects on the left side of the screen. Simply click on your project, and you'll be taken directly to the BigQuery SQL console, where you can start querying your data!
More information on PAD UI can be found here.
Manually starring your BigQuery Project
If you are trying to find another dataset that may be available to you but it's not visible in the UI, you can manually star the project!
To do so, Click on "Add Data +" in the Explorer sidebar on the left of the page.
From there, click "Star a project" and then enter the "Project name." In this example, we're using `cta-open-data` since it's free and available for all PAD users!
Once the project has been selected, you should see a "star" icon next to the project name in the left sidebar. Ensure that "Star" is clicked.
And just like that, your project is now pinned and will always show up when you open PAD. Unless, of course, you unstar it. CTA’s official recommendation is that you avoid doing that!
