If you are logged in, you can request to download to Globus data files from multiple investigations, studies, and assays.

To request multiple downloads

1. Browse for or search for the investigation data that you want to download. For instructions, refer to Browsing Investigations or Searching Investigation Data.
2. Consider filtering the investigation data that you want to download. For instructions, refer to Visualizing and Filtering Data. 
3. Select the objects that you want to download. You can include in the download objects at any or all levels (one or more investigations, one or more studies, and/or one or more assays). You can include filtered or unfiltered content. Take one or both of the following actions:
   
   • In the browse results or search results, click the Select for Multi Download icon:
     
   • In the relevant details page, select the objects that you want to download. Click Add to Download. 
     
     (If you no longer need the files you have selected for download on this details page, click Remove from Download.)
4. When you have added all of the data files that you want to download, click the download icon in the menu bar. 
   
   The Request Multiple Downloads dialog box appears, with a list of investigations. For each investigation, the dialog box indicates the number of the files you have selected, the combined file size for those files, and whether you have filtered the content. The download options available depend on whether you are logged in to CSSI DCC.
   
5. In the Request Multiple Downloads dialog box, consider the following options:
   1. If you want to view the details page for a filtered investigation, click that investigation. (This feature applies only to filtered investigations.) To return to the Request Multiple Downloads dialog box, click the download icon in the menu bar again.
   2. If you want to expand the list, click the triangle icon next to each item.
      
   3. If you no longer need the files you have selected for download, you can clear some or all of your selections:
      
      • To remove all files: Click Clear Queue.
      • To remove only the files for an individual investigation, study, or assay: Click the relevant check box.

6. When you are ready to complete the download, enter your email address, click the Transfer with Globus checkbox, and then click Request Download. The File Manager page in Globus opens. For more information about transferring files with Globus, refer to Downloading Large Files with Globus or Globus Support . The Download Requested message appears.

   

7. Click Ok. The response from the system depends on your selections:
   • If you opted to transfer with Globus, then Globus sends a notification message to the email address associated with your Globus account. 
   • Otherwise, DCC sends to the email address you specified a notification with "CSSI DCC Portal File Download Ready" as the subject line. For instructions on using that notification message, refer to Using a Download Summary.
