 Protocols are used to describe common tasks in  the lab. A protocol can be connected to a file, for example a text document describing how a 1D gel is run.  To create a protocol, first upload the file. Then check the select box next to the file and click 'Extensions'->'Use as protocol'. Currently only users with the 'User' role can create protocols.

+Sample data can either be input via the GUI or via batch import, in which case the data is contained in tab-delimited format in an input text file. To create samples using batch import, first upload the input file.
+Then check the select box next to the file and click 'Extensions'->'Batch import from tab-delimited input data'.
+The contents of the input files will be checked and a page displayed with information on the parsed data.
+If the parsing is correct, click tool-bar button 'Create import job[s]' to create an import job.
+For more information on batch import and the format of the input file, see [wiki:BatchImportOfBioMaterialItems Batch Import Of BioMaterial Items].
