| data_path |
Textfield |
The top level directory containing the raw and/or processed data. For a single dataset upload this might be “.” where as for a data upload containing multiple datasets, this would be the directory name for the respective dataset. For instance, if the data is within a directory called “TEST001-RK” use syntax “./TEST001-RK” for this field. If there are multiple directory levels, use the format “./TEST001-RK/Run1/Pass2” in which “Pass2” is the subdirectory where the single dataset’s data is stored. This is an internal metadata field that is just used for ingest. |
