Importing and Copying Experiments Between Projects

To move an experiment between projects, users can either copy or import it, depending on their needs.

• Copying an experiment creates a new instance of the experiment in the destination project. Users can customize what elements of the experiment are copied over.
• Importing moves the experiment entirely, removing it from the original project and relocating it to the new one.

How to Copy or Import Experiments

1. Navigate to the Project Dashboard and select one or more experiments.
2. Click the Actions button.
3. Choose either Copy to Other Projects or Import to Other Projects from the dropdown menu.

Copy to Other Projects

Selecting Copy to Other Projects opens a modal where you can configure the copied experiment with detailed options:

1. Select Project to Copy Recipes Into (A): Choose the target project for the new experiment copy.
2. Select What to Copy (B): Specify the elements to include. Options include:
   • Instructions
   • Comments
   • Notes
   • Spec
   • Test Samples
   • Quantity Locks
   • Step Attributes
   • Notebooks
3. Select Measurement Inclusion (C): Decide how to handle measurements in the copied experiment:
   • Exclude Measurements
   • Include With Values
   • Include Without Values
4. Settings (D): Configure additional options, such as:
   • Copy Inputs Without Values
   • Show Recipes After Copy
   • Copy Original Tags
5. Additional Copies (E): Use the dropdown to create multiple copies simultaneously.
6. Advanced Options (F): Further configure the experiment copies within the Advanced Options section.

After configuring the copy settings, click the Copy Experiments button. Once the process is complete, the copied experiments will appear in the target project folder, while the original experiments will remain unchanged in their original project folder.

Import to Other Project

Selecting Import to Other Projects opens a modal where you can configure the imported experiment. The modal includes two tabs:

1. Add to Project: Move experiments to a new project folder within the same material family. Within this tab users can opt whether or not to remove the original from its original project folder.
2. Copy to Other Material Families: Copy experiments into a new project folder within a different material family. The original experiments will remain in their original project folder within the original material family.
