Merge datasets #245

Open neuroBazzi opened 1 year ago

neuroBazzi commented 1 year ago

The user wants to be able to visualise population datasets from different scientific experiments (i.e. coming from different data files) into the same experiment in the app. I am assuming there are a number of ways in which we can solve this, one would be to allow loading multiple files during the experiment creation phase, another would be allowing to 'add' populations to an existing experiment. I would leave the latter on hold for now and focus on allowing the user to load multiple files that get merged in the same experiment. @stephenlenzi already solved this manually I guess, could you please elaborate on this?

@neuroBazzi the backend allows already multiple datasets for an experiment. The frontend however has NO support for that. I would implement the "add to experiment" instead of multiple on experiment creation since that gives the user the ability to add afterwards. In terms of dev time I think it's more or less the same

estimation: frontend change upload dataset to existing experiment: 8h (is the design ready?)

Sorry for my slow reply here. @neuroBazzi all I did was use the add population functionality of the api to upload the separately processed files that we wanted to see on the same experiment, which worked well.
