get assay in parent folder to show up in workbooks Ben Bimber  2010-11-15 17:51

we have a folder with an assay. in this folder we added workbooks. ideally, when you create a workbook the assay that is defined in the parent folder would show up as an option in the workbook. however, that's not what is happening. i would assume that if i create this assay at the project level, it would show up? is there any trick to get assays defined in the parent folder (but not project) to show up in workbooks?

assuming the answer to that is no, is there any way move the definition of an existing assay to the folder level? thanks.

Hi Ben,

Given the current implementation, workbooks will see assays defined in their parent project, or defined inside the workbook itself. There isn't a way to view assays in a non-project parent folder.

You can export and import assay definitions into separate folders, but any existing runs will continue to point to the original assay definition.

Thanks,
Josh

ok. admittedly this is somewhat my fault for not seeing this coming. since we have a lot of someone's time invested in uploading rows to an existing assay, is there any database magic that can be performed to push this assay definition into the project folder?
