Arrays of data in Nomad eln. Preview of xlsx files and visualization of archive files.
This issue arises from the need to visualize multiple scalar values or arrays of values that we parse or type manually in the eln.
This is already a three-fold issue because we can think to:
-
a preview for xlsx files in the "Files" lane of the upload.
-
a visualization of the archive files (in the "Data" lane, so to speak) in terms of spreadsheets showing either arrays contained in one section or single values repeated in a list of sections, i. e., the "tasks" list containing an arbitrary number of tasks from which I want to extract and show together the same quantity. This issue was already formulated in #933 (closed) but now acquires a wider meaning, being connected to the need of dealing with scalar values spread across a list of sections.
-
a feature to plot together these scalar quantities stored in a list of sections.
As an example I attach an image showing the list of tasks objects (inheriting from the same class). Would be nice to visualize the trend of these quantities along the list - either defining at the schema level which one to plot, or to have it in a spreadsheet fashion, or ideally both of them.
For this issue I already addressed @amgo anb @mnakh. I guess @josma might have comments and @sbrueck could bring this in a discussion board with @mscheidg
