Overview
The Study overview screen will display the following Study Information:
Date Created
The date and time the study was created.
Created By
The user who created the study.
Date Modified
The last date and time the study was modified. This date updates whenever a user performs an action within the study, such as adding data, creating a sample group, starting a new analysis, etc.
Modified By
The user who last modified the study.
ICA Project
The ICA project the study imports data from.
Description
The description of the study, provided by the user during study creation.
You will also see the following Data Metrics:
Sample Files
The number of sample files within the study, including both manually added and auto-ingested sample files. Please see the Supported Data Types for a list of possible sample file extensions.
Metadata Files
The number of metadata files within the study, identified by the .tsv file extension.
Samples
The number of samples within the study. Note that multiple protein samples can come from a single ADAT file, whereas a single spatial or scRNA sample is created for each set of spatial/scRNA files. Please see the Supported Data Types for more information.
Analyses
The number of analyses within your study, including both in-progress and completed analyses.
Attributed Sample Count
The number of samples in the study with linked metadata.
Metadata Entry Count
The number of metadata attributes displayed in the study. This corresponds with the number of metadata columns shown next to your samples.
If there are analyses in your study, you will see the Recent Analyses section at the bottom of the Overview screen. For more information on analyses, see the Analyses section.
Update Study
To update any details of your study, click the gear icon 
in the top right. This will open a popup where you can edit the study name, description, and automatic data import options. Note that the ICA project from which the study receives data cannot be changed.
If you remove any data types for automatic data import, output files from the pipelines associated with the data types you've removed will no longer be automatically imported into the study upon pipeline completion. On the other hand, if you add a new data type, output files from the corresponding pipelines will now be automatically imported into the study upon pipeline completion.
Click 
to save the changes.
Add Data
To add data, click the 
button in the top right. You can select data from an ICA project or upload metadata. Selecting data from and ICA project will open a new screen where you can upload your data. At the top of the screen, you'll see the name of your study. Here you can select the data type to import.
For each data type, you will only be able to choose data formats from Illumina or supported third-party formats. Refer to the Supported Data Types to see which file extensions are accepted for each data format. TSV metadata files can always be selected. For example, if you choose Bulk > Proteomics as the data type, you will only see ADAT files and TSV files as options for upload.
You can use the Columns tab on the right to add or remove columns and use the Filters tab to filter data. Each column also has a filter icon and three dots which you can click on to find more options. Demo data that is used to generate the Tutorial Study is available to you to add to your Study, as well.
Once you've selected your data, click 
to add the data to your study. Upon submitting, you'll be redirected to the Samples tab, and a message will indicate your data ingestion was successful. Here you can upload metadata from local storage, add additional data from an ICA project, create sample groups or create new analysis.
Now, if you click back to the Overview tab, you'll see that the Date Modified was updated and the Data Metrics reflect the newly added files and samples.
Repeat the process to add data for additional data types.
