Vault Snack #22 – Importing Raw File Formats

Written by Admin | Feb 6, 2024 4:00:00 PM

Hello, CDD Vault users! There is some exciting news regarding the CDD Vault Import Data wizard.

A recent update introduces a flexible parser to accommodate a wider range of raw data formats beyond the traditional tabular ("long and skinny") display. Now, you no longer need to reformat your files, raw data from the instrument can be imported directly into CDD Vault.

Whether your data is stored in a Plate (block) layout, recorded as a fixed value, or spread across multiple worksheets/tabs, it can now be imported with a workflow that allows the user to indicate how the data from each worksheet should be transformed. An extra tab is added, “Preview Import Data”, to show the user how the data will be parsed based on all of the assignments.

Once all of the transformations have been assigned, users can save the custom parser for future use. Saved parsers will appear in the drop down list of “Paser types” so the user can select it and move directly to step 2 of the Import Data workflow.
