If you have a user account with upload permission, you can add a collection (such as a program, study, or dataset) as follows:
- You can add a program.
- If you are member of a group that has metadata permission on an existing program (or if you created a program), you can add a study to that program.
- If you are member of a group that has metadata permission on an existing study (or if you created a study), you can add a dataset to that study.
When you create a collection, you become the owner of that collection. (Ownership cannot be changed.)
- Log in, as described in Logging In.
- Make sure your window is wide enough to display the Uploads option in the header.
- Click Uploads. The upload page appears.
- Navigate to the collection in which you want to create a new collection. In the next field, click the Add New option. (For example, to add a new dataset, select an existing program from the program list, select an existing study from the study list, and then select Add New Dataset.) A registration dialog box appears.
- Specify the information for the new item:
- Specify metadata permissions, as described in Managing Group Access While Creating a Collection.
- To add a metadata attribute, click the Add Metadata option. A blank attribute row appears. Specify a unique attribute name.
- If you do not want the public to have access to the data, clear the Is public access checkbox and specify one or more groups.
- Specify a value for each required metadata attribute.
- Click Register.
