Step 2 - Select Pennsieve Dataset

On this step, you will select where on Pennsieve you would like SODA to generate your dataset. You can either create a new dataset on Pennsieve or add data to an existing dataset on Pennsieve.

Create a new dataset on Pennsieve​

When to use this:

  • You are uploading a dataset to Pennsieve for the first time
  • You want to keep this data separate from any existing datasets

What you'll do:

Enter a clear, descriptive name for your new dataset. This name will appear on the SPARC Data Portal and in your Pennsieve workspace.

Tips for naming:

  • Use descriptive, specific names (e.g., "Vagal Sensory Neuron Dataset - Mouse 2024")
  • Avoid generic names like "Dataset 1"
  • Keep it under 100 characters
  • Use title case for clarity

Add data to an existing dataset on Pennsieve​

When to use this:

  • You have an existing dataset on Pennsieve that you would like to add data to

What you'll do:

Use the dropdown menu to select the dataset you would like to add data to from your existing Pennsieve datasets.
