Time-saving features

Fill-down and import values

You'll find two buttons: Fill Down Value and Paste Into Column on many Annotare pages. They allow you to populate multiple rows of data efficiently. Fill Down Value works like autofill in Microsoft Excel/OpenOffice Calc, whereas Paste Into Column allows you to import (copy) rows of data from a spreadsheet and insert (paste) into Annotare.

Fill Down Value

In this example, organism part will be automatically populated in the 9 remaining rows:

fill-down

 

Paste Into Column

In this example, the patient identifiers from the spreadsheet will be inserted under "Individual":

paste-column

 

Upload and assign multiple files in one go

Upload multiple files

When uploading files directly in Annotare by clicking Upload Files..., you can select multiple files (by holding down the Ctrl or Cmd key on your keyboard) and upload them in one go. Here is an example from a Mac computer with the Cmd key held down:

upload_files

 

Automatically assign files to samples

Once all your files are successfully uploaded, you can assign them to the samples in one step using the Paste Into Column function. Here is an example how to automatically fill in the Raw Data File column:
