SDS Viewer User Manual
The SDS Viewer can now be launched directly from datasets and models on the SPARC Portal (https://sparc.science/). From the landing page for your dataset or model of interest, simply click the SDS Viewer button, it will launch the viewer with it already loaded. In addition, users can load SPARC datasets using two other methods:
1) Loading a SPARC Dataset from app:
- Click on 'SPARC Datasets' button, it's located on the lower left corner.
- On the window that opens up, select the dataset you want to load. You can search
by dataset title and id.
- After selection, click 'Done'
- Dataset will be loaded.
2) Loading a dataset specifying DOI as parameter:
- Users can specify the DOI of a SPARC Portal dataset as a parameter on the URL and load it this way.
- For example, if user wants to load Dataset with DOI 10.26275/qskp-awpu, we can add the id as parameter : https://metacell.github.io/sds-viewer/?doi=10.26275/qskp-awpu This will open up the SDS Viewer with the dataset already loaded.
