Once you have ensured the quality of your collected data for your breeding trial experiments, it is ready for analysis. You can now send your analysis requests through the Analysis Request Manager. The tool allows breeders to:

  • Submit analysis requests per trait;

  • View and manage the analysis jobs generated; and

  • Finalize the requests.

Let’s get started with navigating the tool.

Get Started

There are two ways to access the Analysis Request Manager: the Phenotypic Data Manager tool and the Breeding Analytics domain.

Through Phenotypic Data Manager

Once your data has been saved for quality control and all traits are marked as Quality-checked (QCed), you can stay in the Phenotypic Data Manager to further inspect the trait data of your occurrences.

Once done, you can proceed to the Analysis Request Manager (ARM) tool by clicking the Analyze button located at the top right corner of the Phenotypic Data Manager browser.

Although you can view and send any experiments in the PDM for quality checking, you can only send analysis requests for all Breeding Trial (BT) experiments except those in the On-Farm Trial (OFT) stage.

 

Through the Breeding Analytics domain

  1. Open the Breeding Analytics domain link and log in using your EBS credentials.

 

  1. Click the left navigation button () on the top left corner to open the left navigation panel and find the Analysis Request Manager option.

 

  1. The Analysis Request browser displays the list of all submitted analysis requests created under the same program.

You can only create multi-occurrence analysis requests from the finalized single-occurrence analysis requests.

 

Navigate the Analysis Request Manager

The Analysis Request Manager tool allows users to send and review single- and multi-occurrence analysis requests. When accessing the tool, they will mostly see the main data browser and the results page.

Let’s look at the action items and their functions on the page.

ARM Data Browser

Some occurrences with no plot trait data might be available on this data browser. This is due to data issues in the tool. Using these occurrences for analyses will only result to CANCELED requests caused by missing plot data.

To resolve this, please let us know by reporting the issue as a bug as soon as you encounter them.
