Step 5 - Request manifest files
Manifest files are mandatory for all datasets. To learn more about this metadata file we refer to our corresponding "How to" page.
To generate and include manifest files automatically, simply toggle the option to Yes. Then a manifest.xlsx file will be added
to each high-level SPARC folder with the filename, timestamp, and file type fields automatically populated in the correct format while the description and
Additional Metadata fields can be added by the user by selecting on a high-level folder to make manifest edits. Upon making edits, hitting the save and exit button
will create manifest.xlsx files to be added upon dataset generation.
If merging into an existing dataset manifest files will not be created. To update manifest files in an existing dataset, you can use the Create Manifest files feature.
Any existing manifest files at the target location for generating the dataset will be replaced.
