Creating Multiple Cases

Case collections are the way to organize your WSIs to be shown in training sessions. Once you've made a Case Collection all the slides within it can quickly be added to as many training sessions as you like.

When you have a lot of cases to add to a project or training session, adding them one by one can be tedious.
That's where the 'Create Multiple' function comes in.

If you're not sure how to get to the Cases menu pictured below, first read Create Cases and Case Collections, then come back here.

Then click the “Create Multiple” button.

Adding Multiple Cases

There are two situations you will generally find yourself in:

Situation 1

- All your Cases are organised into subfolders, with the WSIs for that Case contained within the Case subfolder.

In the situation, you just have to select the directory [1] containing all the Case subfolders, click select and preview [2], check your Cases and hit create [3].

Situation 2

- Your WSI's are loose in one or more folders, and you want to add one or several WSI's as their own Case i.e. File1.tif should become Case1, File2.jpg should become Case 2…

In this scenario you have a couple of options:

1) You can use a pattern search with regular expression to fish out the right files and put them in the right case

-or-

2) You can use two or three easy Windows command prompts to make a Case subfolder for every WSI in a folder and move them into it. You can follow the walkthrough with pictures here.
