Managing & organizing experiments

The Experiments page is your home base. It lists your experiments and gives you a few ways to find the one you want.

Open your experiments (opens in a new tab)

Find an experiment

Each experiment is a row showing its name, description, status, owner, owning organization, member count, and when it was last updated. Select a row to open the experiment.

Two controls help you narrow the list:

• Search — type in the search box to match experiments by name and description (and by the people and locations linked to them).
• Filter — switch between:
  • Member Experiments — experiments you created, plus the ones shared with you personally. A share given to a team or to a whole organization does not put an experiment here; only one addressed to you does.
  • All Experiments — everything you can open. That adds experiments you reach through the organization that owns them, through a team or organization that was given access, and public experiments.

To change the order, select a column heading. Select it again to reverse the direction, then once more to return to the default order. Hold Shift while selecting a second heading to sort within the first column. If you Shift-select a third, it replaces the oldest choice. The arrows show direction, and a 2 marks the secondary column. Reset sorting clears both choices. Your sort stays in the page URL, so a refreshed or shared link opens in the same order. The archived experiments list works the same way.

Create and transfer

From the top of the Experiments page you can also:

• Create Experiment — start a new experiment (see Creating an experiment).
• Request Project Transfer — bring in an experiment, its protocols, and its data from another platform.

Archiving

When you are finished with an experiment, you can archive it. Archived experiments move out of the main list into a separate view, which you reach with View Archived Experiments. This keeps your working list focused without losing anything.
