Getting Started

In IRIDA Next, you can download data from multiple samples or all files associated with a workflow execution at once by creating a data export.

Export Types​

There are three types of exports in IRIDA Next:

Export TypeDescription
SampleAllows users to select any number of samples belonging to either a group or project and download all the associated files.
LinelistAllows users to select any number of samples belonging to either a group or project and download all the associated metadata.
AnalysisAllows users to download all files associated with a workflow execution.

Requirements​

The following is required to create an export:

  • Sample Export
    • Project that has at least one associated sample, and files uploaded to the sample.
    • At least the Analyst role for the Project or Group containing the samples for export.
  • Linelist Export
    • Project that has at least one associated sample that contains metadata.
    • At least the Analyst role for the Project or Group containing the samples for export.
  • Analysis Export
    • User Workflow Execution
      • A user workflow execution in the completed state.
    • Automated Workflow Execution
      • Project that has at least one automated workflow execution in the completed state.
      • At least the Analyst role for the project containing the automated workflow execution.

Export Contents​

Exports allow users to download their data from IRIDA Next with a single click. Follow these steps to learn how to work with exports.

Sample and Analysis exports:

  • The files are added to a single, compressed folder. In addition to the exported files selected by the user, three additional files are included:
    • Each export includes a manifest.json and manifest.txt file that contains an overview of what's included in the export.
    • Each analysis export includes a summary.txt.gz file that contains the pipeline summary.

Linelist exports:

  • The export contents will be contained in a single file of the chosen format (.csv or .xlsx).

Export Statuses​

Exports will have either a Processing or Ready status assigned to them.

  • When an export is Processing, IRIDA Next is in the process of creating your export and, therefore, your export is not available to download.
  • Once the export status is Ready, the export is ready to download. A preview of the export contents for Sample and Analysis exports is also viewable on IRIDA Next once the export status is Ready.

After the export status is set to Ready, you will have 3 business days to download the export before it is automatically deleted. You can choose to receive an e-mail when creating the export to ensure you do not miss the download window.
