Downloading Submitted Data

Hint

This is useful if you would like to update sample metadata for a manifest or retrieve the actual manifest that was submitted.

Samples can be updated by resubmitting the manifest with the updated metadata. See Updating Samples: Important Notes section for more information about which fields can be updated.

Note

• At least one sample record (in a manifest) must be submitted before a manifest can be downloaded.

  See the Download sample manifest FAQ section for more information.

• The colour of the button is based on the type of profile that you are making a submission to.

  See the Profile Types Legend section regarding the colour code for the various types of project profiles on COPO.

The following steps describe how to download a submitted sample manifest:

1. Navigate to the Samples page.

   To do this, please refer to the relevant section below, depending on the type of profile that you are working on.

   • Accessing the Samples page (Tree of Life profiles)

   • Accessing the Samples page (Biodata profiles)

2. On the Samples page, select only one sample record from the sample record table displayed.

   Then, click the button to download the manifest.

   Note: The record that you click the on is associated with a particular manifest ID so all samples associated with that manifest ID will be downloaded. The manifest ID value can be viewed in the Manifest Identifier column in the data table.

   See the Download sample manifest FAQ section for more information.

   
   

   Hint

   The manifest will be automatically downloaded as a .xlsx file
