How-to guide

The uploading of new data has been temporarily disabled as we prepare to transition the service to the new TMD (click on the link to preview). We anticipate re-enabling data uploads by the end of 2023.

This guide is intended to assist ELIXIR Training Coordinators in navigating and using the ELIXIR Training Metrics Database. Back to help page

  • Click on ‘Bulk upload events’ under the ‘Event’ subheader.

  • Follow the instructions on the ‘Bulk upload events’ page.

  • Always use the template from the bulk upload interface taking note of the column headers and ensuring that your data matches the column order exactly.

  1. Upload short term feedback data associated with a training event (demographic and quality metrics)

  1. Uploading more short term feedback data to events that already have feedback data associated with them

Upload additional short term feedback data in the same way as outlined in Section A, point 3 above. Any newly uploaded data will be added to the dataset of feedback responses for that event. Newly added data will not override data that is already associated with the event. If you would like to know how to delete data, see ‘SECTION C’ below.

  1. Uploading long term feedback data (impact metrics)

  • Click on ‘Add data’ button on top right of screen.
  • Click on ‘Upload bulk impact metrics' under 'Impact metrics' subheading.
  • Follow the instructions on the ‘Impact metrics’ page.

Section B - Viewing training events and associated data

  1. Via ‘Node Dashboard’

  2. Node specific events

    • Explore the ‘Node specific info’ tab on Dashboard to view events organised or co-organised by your Node (see ‘main organiser’ column for more information regarding the main organiser for a particular event).

    • The ‘summary statistics’ table at the top shows overall statistics for all events that your Node has organised or co-organised.

    • The table below the ‘summary statistics’ table details all events that your Node has organised or co-organised.

    • Click on ‘Expanded view’ to see all information captured about the events. Click on ‘Basic view’ to go back to subset of columns again.

    • Click on ‘Filter and Export’ to filter events based on filters of interest.

    • Export events and feedback data using the relevant ‘export’ buttons. Please note: event information columns that are exported is determined by whether one is on the ‘expanded view’ or ‘basic view’

Section C - Editing and Deleting Data

You will only be able to edit and/or delete information for events for which your Node is the main organiser. A Node is the main organiser for a particular event if that event was created by that particular Node’s account on the Training Metrics Database.

  3. Edit/add relevant details
