IN-SPIRE's import and export capabilities make it easy to share datasets
between analysts. Import allows you to import a processed IN-SPIRE dataset,
a .zip file which was created with Export.
An imported dataset contains all of the documents, groups, queries, and
outliers that the original dataset contained.
Importing a Dataset
Open the Dataset Editor. On the Dataset Editor
window, click Import.
The Import File window opens showing the files in the Export Data folder.
If the imported dataset does not have source files, this window will not
open and you should skip to step 5.
If the dataset you want to import is in this folder,
click on its name to select it, and click Import.
If the dataset is not in this folder, use the drop-down menu above the
file list to browse to its location. Click on the file name to select
it, and click Import.
After a brief delay, depending on how many source
files were used to create the original dataset, the Import Sources window
opens.
From this window you can:
Choose where to save the source files.
Continue the Import process or cancel out
of it.
The sources will be saved in the Destination
folder (the default location is C:\Program Files\INSPIRE\DatasetRoot\Sources)
but you can select a different destination folder if you wish. Use the
Browse button to navigate to it.
Click Continue
Import to continue the import process, or to quit without importing
the dataset, click Cancel.
The dataset is imported. To open the imported
dataset, from the IN-SPIRE main window, select File > Datasets. The
Dataset Editor window will open.
From the Dataset Editor click on the name of the
dataset and then click Open.
The imported dataset will display in
the Galaxy window.
