Spreadsheet import

Some rows were skipped

CryoIndex stores valid rows and offers the refused rows separately with a reason beside each one.

  1. Choose Save the N skipped rows to fix.
  2. Read the reason column and correct each row in a spreadsheet editor.
  3. Import only that corrected file; do not re-import the original file.
  4. Review the new preview before confirming.

Common reasons a row is skipped

  • The template’s example row is still present. It is documentation and is never imported as a vial.
  • The cell type is blank or was removed from the import review.
  • A multi-dewar lab has not identified the destination, or the named dewar, cane or box does not exist.
  • The grid coordinate cannot be read or falls outside that box’s configured rows and columns.
  • The position is already occupied in the inventory or was claimed by an earlier accepted row in the same file.
  • The barcode is already stored or duplicates an earlier accepted row in the file.
  • Date frozen cannot be read as YYYY-MM-DD, is impossible, or is later than today. A blank date is accepted as unknown.
  • A value is longer than the app’s database field can safely store.
  • The inventory changed after preview and a position or barcode became unavailable before the atomic write began.
