Work with File Sets (Tutorial)

At a Glance

This document explains how to create and download file sets in HISE. If you have questions or need help, contact Support.

NOTE
HISE automatically creates file sets from files uploaded through the SDK in an upload_files call unless you disable this behavior. If you prefer not to have file sets created automatically, set the no_file_set parameter to True when you call the upload_files (Python) | uploadFiles (R) SDK. The default is False. If not declared, a file set containing the uploaded files will be created in your study space. For details on file sets created in an IDE, see Use the Upload Files SDK Method (Tutorial).

When to Use This Feature

This document explains how to create and download file sets using your Advanced Search results:

  • Create a file set as a reuseable input that you and your collaborators can read into IDE sessions across multiple analyses. 

  • Save a group of pipeline output files, such as QC reports or labeled scRNA-seq files.

  • Preserve specified data sets to maintain a coherent, traceable workflow.

  • Capture final data sets to support a publication.

  • Create file sets for AI/ML training runs.
