Resolver System Application Tip: Create Templates for Loading Clinical and Non-clinical Data

If you need to load or associate clinical and non-clinical data to an existing Experiment Definition, the Sample Annotation Text Loader is the tool for the job. To use this tool, you must be assigned the Sample Annotator or Lab Manager role in the Resolver system.

To save time, the Sample Annotation Text Loader allows you to create and use templates for loading data efficiently. You can also associate intensity or ratio experiments with existing Experiment Defintions or create a new Experiment Definition with Sample Annotation templates.

We’ll show you how to create a new template for loading clinical/non-clinical data files using the Sample Annotation Text Loader.

1. Go to File > Import > Sample Annotation Text Loader to access a list of available templates.
2. Select New Template to open the “Sample Annotation Import & Custom Fields Mapping Wizard.”
3. Choose data files to import and configure column headings and delimiters.
4. Specifiy the type of annotation data, or model, and map file columns to annotation attributes.
5. Save your new template for future use.
6. The next time you open Sample Annotation Text Loader, find your template file, locate the file(s) you want to load, and click Finish.
