Create a dataset

​

Introduction

A Mantle dataset allows you to store raw data and metadata together. For example, a sequencing dataset might contain FASTQ files and information about the data, such as a sample ID. The configuration of a dataset — the file type(s) and metadata fields that are present in a dataset — is the datatype.

​

Create a dataset in the Mantle UI

Navigate to the Datasets section using the sidebar. Click on the the large + Upload button in the top left corner.

In the drop-down menu, select the datatype you want to add a dataset to. A form will appear. Fill out the name and properties (specified by the datatype).

Once you have filled out the form, click Upload at the bottom to create the datatype.

Create a dataset using the Mantle SDK

Datasets can also be created programmatically using the Mantle SDK. For more information, see the Datasets page in the SDK documentation:
