Yes – there are multiple ways to import protocols into SciNote: SciNote file (.ELN), from a MS Word file (.docx), or Protocols.io. Upload your Word doc to SciNote's protocol parsing tool and it will import your protocol in SciNote's protocol layout.
When you navigate to the Protocol Templates table, click Import at the top to view your available import options.
Option 1 : Import from a SciNote file (.eln) file
-
- e.g., export a template (PT) from a different Team as a .eln file and re-import that protocol as a new template.
- Click here to download a sample Protocol Template .eln file that the SciNote Team has prepared to highlight the main features of Protocol Templates. Import this into your own site to see how the process works.
Option 2: Import from a MS Word (.docx) file
If you would like an existing Word Document to become a protocol template, you can take advantage of SciNote's Protocol Parsing tool.
You can find more information how the Protocol Parsing tool works here.
Caution: The Protocol parser is still in Beta. This means that it might work unexpectedly or not at all depending on the layout of your protocol in the Word document that you import.
The Protocol parser uses machine learning to improve over time, so it get better with time as more protocols are uploaded.
An alternative approach to upload your Word document is to attach the file to a Protocol Step. This can be done inside the Protocol Templates or inside the Protocol section of a task card. The steps below describe the actions in a task card, however the same actions applies for the Protocol Template as well.
- Enter your task card and create a step by clicking New Step.
- Click on 'Insert content', select 'File', and then select 'From your PC'.
- Choose a file from your computer and click Save.
Option 3: Import a Protocol from Protocols.io via our free integration
- The Protocol in Protocols.io must be publicly available and published in order to be searchable through SciNote.
Once your protocol has been imported into SciNote successfully, the protocol will be created in draft version with a unique PT ID. The Protocol must first be published before the template can be linked to Tasks.
If you would like to learn more about how to create protocols please see the video below.
