Datasets
Overview
Datasets
is the Altergo platform feature that allow users to integrate a companion file with an existing Blueprint
, Asset
,Tag
or Activity
. Unlike the primary data in Assets
, datasets can contain miscellaneous datatypes with diverse file formats including csv
, jpeg
, json
, etc.
As an example use case, the user can attach the cell datasheet in pdf
format with the cell blueprint for future references.
Ion Software Development Kit (Ion SDK) enables the integration of Lab
program output from Functions
into assets and activities as datasets. By combining this feature with Automations
in the function manager, users can conduct analyses and attach results to corresponding assets or activities with minimal intervention.
