Every workflow in Latch allows you to import a CSV containing values for its parameters. This is another way to import data when doing bulk runs of a workflow.
The goal of this feature is intended to streamline bringing in your experiment data when running workflows into Latch and we would love to hear from you on ways this could be improved. And to be completely honest the best way to use the CSV import is to write a script that will automatically generate a CSV based on your data.
If one of the columns in your CSV requires a file path, you have to ensure that the file path matches that on Latch.
To do so, click on the file you are interested in.
On the right sidebar, select “Copy” to copy the file path of your file.
Paste the file path into the CSV.
CSV Import is not available for Bulk RNAseq, which instead has the option of using Salmon’s selective alignment method and sample conditions for differential expression analysis.
Click the 'Import Bulk Data' button at the top right of the workflow parameters section.
Some Workflows also have a CSV template you can use to import your data.
Select your CSV from your data on Latch.
or select from your computer
The importer will then automatically try to match the columns in your CSV to its corresponding parameter.
When a column is matched to a parameter it will either show:
— or —
Any errors can be fixed in the next step.
If the importer is unable to automatically match a column it won’t display any icon. You can manually map it to a parameter by clicking the input and selecting its corresponding parameter.
You will then be able to review and edit all of the data before importing.
Any cells with errors will be marked with a red warning triangle which you can hover over to view details on the formatting error. You click into the cell to edit and fix any errors before importing.
