2) If you want to upload files to the portal, since July 22, 2015 we offer a newer non-Java based method, that only requires a recent version of Firefox or Chrome browser. But prior to file upload, please make sure to disable your browser's hardware acceleration. Instructions:
disable hardware acceleration in Firefox After doing this, you need to restart Firefox.

disable hardware acceleration in Chrome After doing this, you need to restart Chrome.

3) Set any computer that you plan to use for large file uploads into Never Sleep mode.Uploads can take hours and will be interrupted if the computer goes to sleep.

Creation of New Studies

Only PIs (faculty) can create new Studies in the Portal. If you want your PI to create a Study for you, send your requested Study Name and a Study Description to your PI. The PI should designate you as the Study Leader and you will have full access to the Study. Check out All Studies to see examples of Study Names and Descriptions.

Use "Sandbox" for Practice and Testing

Please be aware that neither Studies nor uploaded data can be deleted from the XMAPortal (for data security reasons), so please **do not** use the main Portal for practice and testing. We have a separate Sandbox Portal for playing and testing. Any registered Sandbox user will be able to create new Studies in the Sandbox. Be aware that anyone in your research group will also be able to access the studies that you create in Sandbox. Periodically all of the data in the Sandbox will be removed, so don't put anything there that you want to keep.

Off-Campus Access

Both XMAPortal and Sandbox are accessible from any IP address in the world. Please email Milson if you can not access XMAPortal and Sandbox.

Warning: Processed Data Section of Portal is Sketchy

We hope the XMAPortal is fairly intuitive to use for upload of raw data (X-ray videos, CT scans). However, the Processed Data section is still rough in Version 1.0. Feel free to upload Processed Data, but be aware that this section of the Portal is still a bit of a wilderness.
