Getting Started

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

Export Types​

There are two 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.
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.
  • 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 files from IRIDA Next with a single click. Follow these steps to learn how to work with exports.

The files are added to a single, compressed folder. In addition to the exported files selected by the user, two additional files are included:

  • Each export includes a manifest.json 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.

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 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.
