Example: Uploading data (non-dicom) to central.xnat.org using XNAT Desktop
Manage files to upload
First, select local directories/folders or individual files to manage with XNAT Desktop.
Select the Add managed directory icon, choose Repository->Add dir, or right click on a directory/folder for a menu option to manage that folder with XNAT Desktop, as shown below. Or, right click on an individual file for a menu option to manage that file.
Select tags for local data
Next, choose tags for describing your data. XNAT has some default tags that are useful, but custom tags can be added as well using the "New" option on the pop-up.
Tag files to upload
Select datasets to be described, and quickly add tags that apply to all selected datasets through the Set Default tags option.
Or select individual datasets to be described, and add appropriate tags to each through the Set tag option. Note, in this example, the Experiment tag for each subject 01030 and 01053 are unique: Normal_Subjects_01030 and Normal_Subjects_01053, respectively.
Switch to tag view and check data description
Create a project on the hosted repository
In this example, the hosted respository is http://central.xnat.org
New project on hosted repository should correspond to local data description
Create a subject for each subject in the data to be uploaded
New subjects should correspond to local data description
Adding subject 01030.
Project display after adding two subjects.
Upload files to the hosted repository
The current release version of XNAT Desktop actually can only upload one experiment at a time. Using this version, to upload each experiment, select it in the tag view hierarchy and use the upload tool as shown below.
A new version of XNAT Desktop to be released soon supports uploading multiple experiments, and has also a number of important upload bug fixes.
