You will be greeted with a table that shows an overview of all Projects and Live Sessions including:
Project and Session UID
Project or Session title
Status of the Session (e.g., Running, Paused, Marked Completed)
File sizes of the following data categories (Projects show the total across all Sessions within that project)
Raw import data
Motion corrected micrographs
Exposure thumbnails
Extracted particles
Metadata
Date and time the Project or Session was created
Date and time the session was last Paused (if applicable)
Date and time the session was Marked Completed (if applicable)
Project actions:
Refresh statistics for all sessions within a Project (update file sizes)
Download a list of all Project statistics (all files linked to each session, organized into groups)
Session actions:
Refresh statistics for a particular Session (update file sizes)
Navigate to the Live Session interface
Additional actions than can be performed on a category of data within a session is described below
Upon first visit to the Data Management page, you will need to click the "Refresh Project Stats" or "Refresh Session Stats" action to populate the file sizes of each category.
You can only perform session actions on sessions that are in Completed status. To mark a session as completed, navigate to the session, and click the Mark Completed button in the Session Information sub-tab under the Configuration tab.
You can download a list of file paths (JSON format) of all sessions within a project (organized into categories) by clicking on the 'Download Project Stats' button in the 'Action' column.
You can perform actions on all five categories in completed sessions by clicking a cell in the table:
Download a list of file paths (JSON format) for a particular category (such as motion corrected micrographs) via the browser for use in an external archiving utility
Available for all categories except for thumbnails
Mark a category as 'archived', 'archiving', or 'active'
Available for all categories except for thumbnails
Mark a category as 'deleted' (for when you have used an external tool to delete all files associated with that category)
Available for all categories except for thumbnails
Delete data from a particular category (cryoSPARC will delete all files associated with the category)
Available for all categories except for raw data
A confirmation dialog will be presented before any data is deleted:
Right-clicking over any cell other than file size data will present will three options:
Refresh table data
Expand all projects (show all Sessions across all Projects)
Collapse all Projects (show only Project totals)
All cryoSPARC users are able to:
View the data management table and refresh file sizes via the 'Action' column → 'Refresh Project Stats'/'Refresh Session Stats'
Download the JSON list of files for a category within a session or across a project
