Sidebar in Maps
The SPARC maps interface features a sidebar to locate datasets more easily.
The sidebar is a powerful tool that allows you to find datasets from within the Maps interface.
The sidebar can be used to:
- See all the datasets that are currently available;
- Search all the datasets that match one or several keywords (e.g., all the datasets that match
stomach
); - Filter the results using one constraint (e.g., filter all the datasets that match
Dog
); - Filter the results using several constraints (e.g., filter all the datasets that match both
Dog
andColon
); and - Click the search history values to show the recent search.
The Basics
Open the sidebar by clicking on the chevron icon on the right side of the screen.

Open sidebar
Controls

Sidebar controls
A. The search panel searches within the current results shown in the sidebar.
B. The filter dropdown allows you to select certain criteria in order to filter the results in the sidebar.
C. The number of results that are returned based on the search terms and filter criteria.
D. An individual result shows you a number of pieces of metadata including the dataset title, the creators, the associated species (if applicable and set) and the ID of the dataset.
You also have different buttons depending on the contents of the dataset. Clicking on these buttons will either upon the dataset in a new tab or open the corresponding image, scaffold or simulation within the Map interface.
Sidebar dataset cards
- Mouse over the sidebar dataset card will highlight the feature on the flatmap.
- Clicking the
View Dataset
button (e.g.,View Dataset 99
) will open the dataset page. - Clicking the data type buttons (e.g.,
Scaffolds (1)
) will switch the thumbnails to scaffold thumbnails, and it will show theView Scaffold
button; clicking that will open the scaffold. - Clicking the copy to clipboard button will copy the information of the dataset card to clipboard.

Find Datasets and Models
- See all the datasets that are currently available

Search
- Search all the datasets that match one or several keywords (e.g., all the datasets that match
stomach
);

- Click the search history values to show the recent search

Filtering
The Sidebar uses faceted and free text search to apply filters. The filter dropdown contains multiple different criteria that you can select from, be it the anatomical structure you are interested in or the type of data you want to view.
Filters work by applying the following rules:
- Within categories the filter uses an OR condition
example: "heart" OR "colon" - Between categories the filter uses an AND condition
example: "rat" AND "lung"
For example:
Filter the results using one constraint (e.g., filter all the datasets that match Dog
);
Filter the results using several constraints (e.g., filter all the datasets that match both Dog
and Colon
); and
