Inbox Panel

In the Chemotion ELN, we have an inbox section. There are several ways we can have data in the User's inbox. It is closely linked with the integrated devices as well.

Transfer data to the inbox using email​

One of the easiest ways to transfer data to Chemotion ELN is to send it via email. Users can easily send themselves files by emailing them from their registered email addresses to some predefined email address. The email address to use for sending the files is now visible in the inbox popup window.

inbox_info

Senders of files to this email address will receive them straight into their inbox.

Transfer data to the inbox using data collector​

Data collector configurations have been done in many of the integrated devices. For these, files/folders are being collected automatically and when the name of the file/folder starts with a unique identifier registered with the Chemotion ELN user accounts, those reach the user's inbox at regular intervals of time.

Manual upload​

Along with all these, users can manually upload some files in the inbox which they can later use in further analyses.

Moving files to elements​

Manual import of files from the inbox​

When working with datasets, you can drag and drop files directly from the inbox into Analyses.

Drag and Drop

Alternatively, you can use the buttons next to the file to open a dialog. In this dialog, you can select the appropriate element and assign the file to it. This creates a new Analysis with this file.

The list of available elements depends on the file name. The system automatically searches for elements with matching or partially matching names.

note
  • Currently, only samples and reactions are supported.
  • The buttons must be enabled in the user configuration.

info

The file name (excluding the file extension) should contain:

  • The full name of the element or a part of it
  • The short label of the element or a part of it (e.g. CU1-1)

Automatic transfer of files from the inbox​

If the filename can be uniquely assigned to an element, the file will be automatically assigned to that element when uploaded to the inbox. This creates a new Analysis with this file.

note

This feature can be disabled in the user configuration.

When you assign a file to a reaction with the filename method and this reaction has one or multiple variations, the resulting Analysis can automatically be linked to a variation. To enable this, the filename needs to consist of:

  1. full name or short label (part)
  2. A minus (-) sign followed by v + variation index
  3. optional file extension

Example name: CU1-R1-v1.dat
