Viewing and Editing Datasets

Users can view or edit dataset metadata depending on their access permissions. These actions are available from the context menu in the Data Browser.

Access Levels

  • Users with view-only access will see the option: View Dataset
  • Users with edit access will see the option: Edit Dataset

View/Edit Modal

Selecting either action opens a modal window displaying all available metadata for the dataset. The modal includes both fixed and editable fields:

Dataset Metadata Fields

The modal displays both fixed and editable metadata fields. Fixed fields are recorded during data harvesting and cannot be changed. Editable fields may be modified by users with edit access.

Non-Editable (Fixed) Fields Editable Fields
  • Facility
  • Console
  • Field
  • Dataset name
  • Pulse program
  • Dataset public date
  • Solvent
  • Temperature from parameter file
  • If the dimension is direct (per dimension)
  • Number of points (per dimension)
  • Spectral width (per dimension)
  • Maximum evolution time (per dimension)
  • PI
  • Experiment start time
  • Experiment end time
  • Workstation user
  • NAN user
  • Display Name
  • # Dimensions
  • # Dimensions Collected
  • State
  • Redundancy
  • Sample Sparsity (for NUS)
  • Decoupling Sequence
  • Mixing Sequence
  • Mixing Time
  • Multiple Receiver
  • Time Sharing
  • Lock Status
  • Nuclei (for each dimension)
  • Classification (*)
  • Tags (*)
  • Notes (*)
  • Title (*)

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) can also be edited in bulk using dedicated actions from the context menu.


Fields marked with an asterisk (*) can also be modified using dedicated actions from the dataset context menu, which support bulk editing across multiple datasets.

Additional Modal Options

The modal includes the following buttons:

  • Download Dataset – Initiates a dataset download using the same interface as the context menu download action.
  • Add/View Supplemental Data – Opens the supplemental data modal. This may also be launched directly via the context menu.

Published Datasets

Published datasets are immutable and cannot be edited, even by the dataset owner. However, every published dataset originates from a parent dataset, which remains editable (if permissions allow). To make changes, users must edit the parent dataset and optionally publish a new version afterward.
