Compile your bioprocess data analysis into standardized, reproducible summary reports using our Reports functionality. A report allows you to bring together charts, run tables and text blocks, also known as plot blocks, allowing you to showcase your data in a clear and structured manner. You can include as many plot block entities as you need to tell the story behind your data. Once complete, reports can be shared with collaborators for data review, or duplicated and used as template for streamlined report editing.

Plot Block:

  • A Plot Block entity consists of a text entry field for title and description, a chart (line or scatter), and a run data table. Plot blocks can be added, edited, or duplicated within a report, allowing for flexible and comprehensive data presentation. For more information on chart editing and features related to data visualization, see Analysis article

Workflow:

  1. Add New Report:

    Navigate to the Reports page and click 'Add new report' to create a blank report. Give your report a descriptive title.

  2. Plot Block Editing:

    Begin by entering a title and description for your first plot block. Click 'Select Runs' and choose the relevant runs from the Runs selection table. These runs will serve as the basis for your charts and tables.

  3. Chart Customization:

    Choose a chart layout and metric(s) to create line or scatter charts. Tailor the view settings to your specific needs (See Analysis page for more details on graph customization). Press 'Done' when you're ready to proceed. You can always come back to this editing view by clicking the 'Edit Plot' button inside the plot block if needed.

  4. Further Report Customization:

    Customize further by adding additional plot blocks using the 'Add Plot Block' button or by duplicating an existing plot block. Duplicated plot blocks maintain the settings for run selection and chart view which streamlining the editing process.

  5. Save and Share:

    Once your report is complete, save it by clicking the 'Save' button. Share the report with collaborators by selecting the 'Copy Share Link' option after pressing the 'Share' button. Sharing reports outside the organization requires Invert support staff to get involved.

  6. Report Archiving:

    To remove a report from the list, press the 'Archive' button accessible in the top right corner of the report.

  7. Additional Actions:

    Duplicate a report to create backups or use it as a starting point to streamline the analysis of related experiments. For bulk editing run selection across all plot blocks within a report, press 'Run selection' in the top right corner of the screen and modify run selection.

Alternative Workflow:

  1. Start Analysis from Runs Page:

    Alternatively, you can begin your analysis from the Runs. Select the runs you're interested in and transfer them to the Analysis page.

  2. Visualize Data: Visualize your data using line or scatter charts. Customize the chart view settings and run data table as needed

  3. Save to Report: Click 'Save' and choose 'Add new report' or 'Add to a report' to incorporate your analysis into a new or existing report.
