The migration from Labfolder to SciSure transfers core scientific data into the SciSure Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN). During this process, Labfolder content is transformed to match SciSure’s data structure while preserving the scientific content and important metadata.
The structural mapping typically works as follows:
For example, a Labfolder entry containing text, images, and files will appear in SciSure as an experiment containing different sections for those elements.
Once the migration begins:
- Labfolder is placed in read-only mode to prevent further changes.
- Data is extracted, transformed, and imported into SciSure.
- Migration typically takes between 1 and 24 hours, depending on the dataset size.
- After the migration is complete, a validation session is performed to confirm that the data has been successfully migrated.
In SciSure, experiments are organized within projects and studies, allowing users to structure their research data and collaborate with team members.
