ISAcreatorConfigurator

[csmatyi]

Hello everybody,

I have a big problem:

I have the Bioinvindex web app running. I also made same isatab files and uploaded them to my website. Also a test file, BII-S-3 from the isatools website sample isatab file page.
The problem is that there are these drop-down lists at the top of the website: organism, measurement, technology, and platform, which are populated by information from the uploaded isatab files.
Now, these fields are nicely populated by the info from the BII-S-3 isatab, but my isatabs do not contribute anything to populating the drop down lists. I have attached a screen shot.

I think it might be due to us not providing proper information in the study file part of isatab.
For example, in the configurator, the following fields are present, but when I switch to ISAcreator, they dissappear:

Study Assay Measurement Type
Study Assay Technology Type
Study Assay Platform Type

These are 3 fields which correspond to measurement, technology, and platform drop-down lists on the web app.

I think the solution might be to define certain fields in the study file as TERM SOURCE REF.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Matt
