Data Upload

Once your user account and project have been set up, you are ready to upload your validated data to EMBER-Vault! To use EMBER-Vault, you must validate your dataset locally. The EMBER-Vault system is intended to store standardized data for reuse but does not currently format and validate data in-platform.

1. Log in via Globus & EMBER-Vault

1. Log in to Globus using your institutional or any other authentication method you use to access the Globus Web UI
2. Once you're logged in to Globus, navigate to your collections and ensure the default "Recent Tasks" filter is deactivated
3. Search for "EMBER" and you should find your project's collection located on the Ember-Vault Endpoint
4. Select your project's EMBER Vault collection by clicking on the name. In this case, it is EMBER-Vault YOUR-PROJECT-NAME
5. This should take you to the collection manager. Here, you should select Open in File Manager as indicated in the figure below
6. In the File Manager, you will be met with a warning that you are not authenticated with auth.emberarchive-vault.org. Press the Continue button in order to authenticate with EMBER-Vault

Note

If you have not yet created an account with EMBER-Vault and thus do not possess Keycloak credentials, please refer to the above section titled Account Setup

7. You will then be redirected to EMBER-Vault's user login page. Here, you will sign in using your EMBER-Vault credentials which were generated during account setup.
   
   These should be a username provided to you by admins ending in @auth.emberarchive-vault.org and the password you set up.
   
   After this screen you will also be prompted to enter a one-time code from your MFA application

2. Select File/Folder to Upload

1. Once you have signed in to Globus and EMBER-Vault, you can now access your EMBER-Vault project via the file manager. To begin uploading your data, click on the Upload button circled in the figure below.
2. Clicking the Upload button will bring up an option to select files or a folder to upload to the collection from your local machine. For this demonstration, we will be uploading a folder
3. You will be prompted to select a folder in your local system to upload to EMBER-Vault via Globus. Select your desired folder and click Upload
4. You will then be prompted to confirm your upload, to do so select Upload
5. You should then see in real time the upload progress of your file or each file in the folder you selected. Congratulations! You have successfully uploaded your data to EMBER-Vault :)
