Private records

Users with a status of ‘submitter’, ‘curator’, or ‘admin’ can upload private isolate records that will be hidden from public view. A quota needs to be set for the user by an admin before they are able to do this.

Uploading private records

In order to upload private records, you need to make sure that you are logged in. If your account has a quota, there will be a menu item called ‘Private data’. Click the ‘Upload/manage records’ link.

You will see an overview of your quota and links to upload and edit your records. Click the ‘Upload private isolate records’ link (assuming you have quota available).

You will then be taken to a curator page that allows you to upload data copy and pasted from a spreadsheet. There is a link to an Excel template that you will need to use to prepare your data - this is the same template used if you were to submit your data to a curator.

Use the curators’ interface to make any changes to your isolate records, including uploading genome data.

Sharing access to private records

If user projects are enabled on the database, you can share access to your private isolates by adding them in to a user project and then sharing this.

See user projects for more details.
