What are Experiments?
Experiments, previously "parent runs", are a grouping of runs, typically with overlapping operations timelines used to help manage organizational complexity.
For example - a set of 12 or 24 runs that were performed in the same operational window on a Sartorius Ambr could be batched into a single Experiment. The seed flask and seed train runs can also be included in this experiment if that organizational grouping is helpful.
Note: Run data can still be compared across experiments by simply selecting the runs of interest.
Editing via Uploads
The Run Data mapping allows you to edit the experiment for any run. This is recommended approach for bulk editing any run data, including Experiments.
1. Creating the file to ingest:
Create a csv or excel sheet with headers "Experiment" and "Run"
Ensure the Run names match exactly with the runs that exist in your tenant that you would like to edit, otherwise this process may result in creating new runs.
The Experiments do not need to exist prior to this upload, they will be created through this process. If your experiments already exist, please ensure you are using the exact name of the Experiment you intend to map the runs with.
2. Uploading the file for ingestion
Navigate to the Import page
Select your file to import
Select the Run Data mapping
Click Start Import
Note: Some custom mappings may already incorporate experiments if the schema has been provided. If you are interested in updating an existing mapping, please reach out through Help & Support.
Editing via the Run Table
If you prefer seeing the edits in a more familiar spreadsheet format you can edit from the main run table.
While in the run table interface, select the runs you wish to edit
Ensure the Experiment column has been added to the table
Click Edit
Type in the Experiment Name.
If the Experiment does not already exist, it can be created through this link
Click Save
Editing via the Run Summary Page
Every Run can be edited individually through its summary page.
Click on the run name in the run table to navigate to the summary page
Click Edit
Select the Experiment name from the dropdown
If the Experiment does not already exist, it can be created through this link
