Add Targets by File Upload

1. Select the Upload File tab.
2. [Optional] Select .csv to download a file template and enter gene data in place of the sample entries.

When using a template, do not change column headings. Follow the format of the sample entries included in the template. The template file includes two columns:

3. Select Select a File and navigate to the appropriate file.
4. Select Upload File.

DesignStudio validates the file and displays error messages for any entries that contain errors. Targets that are not available for On-Demand panels are converted to Spike-In and are listed in the Spike-In tab. DesignStudio does not support designs that include multiple entries with the same gene name.

5. If errors are found in the file, do one of the following.
Select Download error list to download a detailed log file of the erroneous entries. After all the errors are fixed, return to step 3 to reimport the file.
Select Continue with Valid Targets Only to allow DesignStudio to exclude any entries that contain errors and continue with valid targets only.
