← All Topics

Note: For security log in purposes, only GraphPad Prism v8.02 and higher is supported. Go to help.graphpad.com to contact the GraphPad team for assistance with Prism.

GraphPad Prism has been integrated with LabArchives to enable users to directly export projects from Prism into the LabArchives Notebook. Additionally, when a Prism project is opened from within your Notebook, it may be re-saved into the same Page from which is resides, preserving both versions of the file.

Using the integration

1. Open GraphPad Prism. On the “Welcome to GraphPad Prism” window, click LabArchives.

2. You will be prompted to login to LabArchives. If you would like to create a LabArchives account click Try LabArchives Free.

3. If logging into an active LabArchives account, a new window will appear to input the user’s login and password. If you login using a Single Sign on system you will need to create a password token.  Click here for more information on creating a password token.

4. Once logged into an active LabArchives account, all notebooks associated with the account can be selected from the drop-down menu, shown below. Any GraphPad Prism files associated with the notebook will show up as well. You can open a selected GraphPad Prism file, edit the file, and save it back to your notebook.

 

To open or save a file to LabArchives 

To open or save a file click the LabArchives icon near the top right-hand corner of the program. You will have the option to save a file to LabArchives, open a file from LabArchives, log out of LabArchives, or learn more about LabArchives.

 

 

After you export a file from Prism to LabArchives, it will be found in your LabArchives Inbox. Log in to LabArchives (via a web browser), then click the Inbox icon to see the files exported from Prism.

You can move Prism files from your LabArchives Inbox to a page in your notebook. To do this, hover over the Prism file then click the triple dot menu. You will see the option to move the file to a page or delete the file from your Inbox. If you click ‘Move to page…’, a window will appear where you can choose which page to move the file to.

Once the Prism file is on a page in your notebook, you are able to download it from the page to your computer. You can also use the integration to open the file within Graphpad Prism as mentioned above.

The Archive to Inbox screen allows you to save your creation in two ways: You can create a new file from an existing one by selecting the Archive to the inbox as a new file radio dial. You can also choose to Rearchive as an updated file by selecting that radio dial. It may be useful to track any changes or keep additional information to the file by adding to the What changed and Description fields.
