In the informatics world, a picture may be worth a thousand numbers that you don’t have to enter. Just attach your image, plot, graph, or file and view it right next to your numeric assay results. In this release we introduce the ability to attach files to protocol readout rows so that image previews and download links appear in your results table, right alongside the single-point or dose-response data and molecular structure.
Sounds great, how do I set it up?
When creating or updating a protocol, add a new readout definition and choose the newly minted “File” data type.
It works in exports, too
Image previews and direct download links are also included in Excel exports. Of course the link alone is not enough for outsiders to get your data! If you are already logged in to CDD Vault with your default browser, a single click in Excel will download the file. If not, you will be prompted to authenticate before the download starts. The same links are included in CSV and SDF exports.
