Prepare upload
Metadata associated to samples to submit are necessary for the manual upload process. In the "Prepare upload" page (Upload > Prepare upload from the Navigation Menu), users can add cards with sample metadata, by means of 2 available methods:
Metadata cards associated to samples will have to be validated by Cohesive, which will ensure absence of mistakes and presence of minimum mandatory data. After the validation request ("Validate" button), the validation state will be displayed in the hononymous column.
Add metadata from UI
The "Add data" button empowers users to quickly create a metadata card for a single sample. The card will have to be filled manually with at least the minimum mandatory metadata for the sample.
The following video shows how to fill a metadata card and some other useful features of metadata card management.
UI tools can also be used to modify one or more existing metadata cards simultaneously, regardless of how those cards were added to the list; this feature also allows spot corrections of invalid sample metadata, as shown in the following video:

Add metadata from file
The "Add from file" button allows users to submit a tabular file containing the list of samples to upload and corresponding metadata. Depending on the upload type (e.g.: "upload of official samples" as opposed to "default upload"), the upload wizard will generate a link to download the corresponding template.
The following video shows how to submit a metadata file.
