Customizing Your Collaboration Tool


Upload Structure Configuration File

The upload structure config. file contains a list of entries that represent your lab's typical upload file structure. For example, let's say all of my raw data is stored in the following format:

/topFolder1/subFolder1/data1.raw
/topFolder1/subFolder1/data2.raw
/topFolder1/subFolder2/data3.raw
/topFolder1/description.html
/topFolder2/subFolder3/data4.raw

With the above as the contents of our upload structure configuration file, the behavior of the collaboration tool will be the following:

  1. User selects the file C:/user/home/directory/topFolder1/subFolder1/data1.raw
  2. Tool notices that topFolder1/subFolder1/data1.raw matches one of the entries in the configuration file.
  3. Tool asks the user whether they would rather upload C:/user/home/directory/, which is assumed to be the full data set, as opposed to a small part.
  4. User has the option to stick with their first selection or upload the selected directory instead.
