Glossary and things to know

Frequent fields

Some fields are used in multiple tasks. Here is a summary of them:

  • Tag - a tag is used by us to identify data objects. The way we structure our data is that processed data is separated into sub-directories (e.g. normalizations go into Normalizations folder, heatmaps go into Heatmaps folder, etc.). When we try to find a data object, we will use that tag to easily identify it and then us in the task that requires it.
  • Normalization tag - a tag to identify normalization object.
  • Normalization name - a name of the normalization to use inside the specified task. You always have to specify normalization tag if you want to apply normalization. If for example you specified normalization tag to be raw and normalization name to be TIC, then under the hood we will look for TIC normalization inside the raw normalization object.
  • Automatic filename - if set to true, the task will automatically generate a filename for the output. If set to false, you will have to specify the filename yourself.
  • m/zs - you will sometimes want to specify some m/zs (e.g. for calibration purposes), you can do so by typing the values as floats, seaprated by a comma, e.g. 100.0, 200.0, 300.0.
