TargetTrack Deposition Tool
This page details how you can deposit your target and protocol data to TargetTrack. You can deposit your data either in an XML file or an XLS Excel spreadsheet file, as described on the deposition guidelines page.
This tool also provides data validation for TargetTrack XML files. Spreadsheet files are currently parsed and validated manually by SBKB staff. This page will be updated when online validation for spreadsheet files is also available.
The XML validation program performs a variety of consistency checks against the current TargetTrack schema. Detailed TargetTrack schema documentation is provided on the deposition guidelines page.
Follow these instructions to use the Deposition Tool:
- Select or enter your center's name (required).
Include the word 'testing' in the text box to indicate you only wish to test the file and not deposit. - Use the "Browse" button to select the XML or XLS file to be uploaded.
The file name cannot include blank spaces.
You can upload a zipped or gzipped file. - Select the appropriate schema version.
- Press the UPLOAD button to upload the data file.
The tool may take a few minutes to process your file. - If problems are indicated, please correct the file and upload again.
Click here for a brief explanation of the XML validation program's output. - If the file passes validation and meets all requirements of the defining TargetTrack schema, its data is deposited into TargetTrack during the next database update.
