Flywheel allows you to add notes or attach files to your projects and sessions. These fields are searchable from Flywheel. This is helpful if you want to include any stimulus material, survey responses, or other unstructured data. Or if your data is abnormal for any reason, write a note to capture what may have occurred, so other people viewing this data have that context.
This article explains how to add notes as well as where you can attach files in Flywheel. See our tag management article for more information on tags.
You may receive an error if you try to upload a large amount of imaging data to the Attachments section. This is because the Attachments sections on the Information tab and Sessions tab are intended only for metadata files related to the study, such as subject consent forms or surveys.
Notes and attachments added to the project also appear on sessions associated with that project.
