Import from ELITE portal

OVERVIEW

CAVATICA allows you to import files from the Exceptional Longevity Translational Resources (ELITE) Portal and use them as any other file on CAVATICA. Please note that the actual files physically remain hosted on the source platform and are only linked to CAVATICA.

PREREQUISITE

In order to be able to import a file, your account on CAVATICA has to be connected to ELITE Portal.

Procedure

1. The first part of the procedure happens on the ELITE Portal where you will select files and choose to export them to CAVATICA. Read more.
2. After selecting and exporting files on the ELITE Portal, you will land on the following CAVATICA page.

3. Choose the project you want to import files to (or create a new project).
4. Resolve naming conflicts. Read more below.
5. Optional: Enter tags in the Tag files box (see below).
6. Click Import data.

RESOLVE NAMING CONFLICTS

Naming conflicts happen when you try to import an item (file or folder) from a DRS server to a project's root folder or subfolder, where an item with the same name already exists. The list below illustrates the possible cases of naming conflicts and the way they are resolved depending on which option is selected in the Resolve naming conflicts dropdown:

1. Importing a file that has the same name as an existing file at the destination path:
   • Skip (default): The file won't be imported. This is the default behavior.
   • Auto-rename: The imported file will be automatically renamed by adding a prefix (underscore and serial number).
   • Overwrite: The existing file will be overwritten by the file imported from the server.
2. Importing a file that has the same name as an existing folder at the destination path:
   • Skip (default): The file won't be imported.
   • Auto-rename: The imported file will be automatically renamed by adding a prefix (underscore and serial number).
   • Overwrite: The file won't be imported.

The following table illustrates the entire naming conflict resolution mechanism:

ADD TAGS TO THE FILES

To make it easier to visually identify and organize files you can tag them before the import. Separate tags with commas or press enter.

All tags which are already in the selected project are autosuggested in the drop-down menu. Learn more about tagging your files.

DURING IMPORT

Track the import progress under the import status icon on the right-hand side of the main menu. When the import completes, review your files in the Files tab of your project.
