Comment: Zhengwu clarified that object is data file, not data file or collection. It would be nice if we had a word that meant "object or collection" but I'll repeat both for now.

If you want to register multiple files and provide metadata for each object (data file) or collection ) in that upload, prepare that metadata in a Microsoft Excel XLSX file. 

  1. Download the sample metadata file from GitHub at (TBD). 
  2. Revise the file to reflect the objects or collections you intend to specify for upload via Globus:
    • The first column should reflect the location of each object or collection. 
    • The first column should reflect the collection type. The default collection type is Folder. 
    • The remaining columns should reflect the user-defined attributes for each object or collection. 
    • Each row should reflect one of your objects or collections. 
    • The system requires a row for each object with object or collection with mandatory metadata. 
    • If the default values are acceptable for all mandatory metadata of an object or collection, you can omit that row. 
  3. Remove all formatting (such as word wrapping). One way to do so is as follows:
    1. Save your XLSX file as a CSV file.
    2. Save that CSV file as an XLSX file.
