Adding an Ardia account to Skyline

An Ardia account can be added before importing a file from Ardia Platform or can be added when first importing a file from the Ardia Platform.

To add an Ardia account before importing a file (one time setup in Skyline):

  • On the Tools menu, click Options

  • Click the Remote Accounts tab.
  • Click the Edit List button.

  • Click the Add button.

  • In Remote Account Details form Account type field choose Ardia
  • In the Alias field, enter an Ardia Username. This is the Ardia Platform username with which you wish to log in to the Ardia Platform. Please note, that a different account might be used by your organization to register Skyline to the Ardia Platform and a different account may be used by yourself to log in to the Ardia Platform. This Alias field is for the Login.
  • In the Server URL field, enter the Ardia Platform Server URL.
  • Check Delete RAW files after importing checkbox if you want this. Otherwise, the file is left on the local file system.
  • Click the Connect button to establish a login session with the Ardia Platform.

 

If the window displays "Log in to Ardia Server" with button "Login", this instance of Skyline is already registered with the Ardia Platform server, so Click here to skip to Login.

Registering a Skyline Instance

NOTE: Not all Ardia accounts have permission to register Skyline with the Ardia Platform server, even though they will be able to sign in to the Ardia Platform and import RAW files from Skyline after registration is complete.

Registration is only required once per Skyline installation for a given Windows User and the Ardia Platform server URL.

  • Click Register Skyline to start registration.

Go to the opened Web Browser tab and sign in to the Ardia Platform.

(if already signed into the Ardia Platform in the default browser, you will not have to sign in again)

 

If the account is not allowed to register Skyline with the Ardia Platform, the following will be displayed:

  • Click View Account to open the Ardia account home page in the browser and sign out of the Ardia account.
  • Click Register Skyline and sign in with an account that can register a client application.

In this case, ask your server administrator to register your Skyline instance.

After Registration is complete the following is displayed:

To use the same Ardia account to sign in with Skyline:

  • Click Go to Login.

Otherwise, to use a different Ardia account:

  • Log out of Ardia Platform in the browser. Click View Account to open the browser with the account home page and then log out.
  • Click Go to Login.

 

Log in to the Ardia Platform 

  • Click on Login

The default browser will open with the Ardia Platform login.

  • Complete the login.

Upon successful login, you will see a confirmation message.

This login session will be retained in Skyline until the Skyline application is closed or the "Logout Ardia" button is clicked.

  • Click Ok in all dialogs back to main window to save this new connection.

 

Importing a RAW file from the Ardia Platform

Assigning Data Explorer privileges in the Users and Roles utility of the Ardia Core Software does not automatically extend to external applications such as Skyline. To ensure proper access control, you must set appropriate restrictions at the folder level in the Data Explorer application. For example, if you want to prevent a user from downloading files from a specific folder, disabling the Download Data privilege in the Users and Roles utility is insufficient. You must also set access permissions directly on the folder within Data Explorer.

For detailed instructions, refer to the "Manage Folder Access" topic in the Ardia Core Software User Guide.

 

  • On the File menu, click Import then Results

Make selections in dialog and click Ok

  • Click Remote Accounts

If there is more than one Remote Account configured in this Skyline instance all the accounts will be listed as shown. Otherwise open the folder/file to download.

  • When have more than one remote account, choose an account to use.

 

If not currently logged into the Ardia Platform since starting Skyline, the browser will open and log into the Ardia Platform.

(If the current Skyline instance has not been registered with the Ardia Platform, that will need to be completed first.)

Then the list of files and folders from the Ardia Platform will be displayed.

Opening a file(s) will download it to the local machine and import it into the current Skyline document.

If the "Delete RAW files after importing" was checked the file will be deleted from the local machine.

 

Further troubleshooting

  1. What happens if an Ardia administrator removes the Skyline installation from the Ardia Platform?
    An Ardia administrator can remove the Skyline registration from the Ardia Platform in the Ardia Client Registration and Management utility.
    This will prevent that Skyline installation from making further connections to that Ardia Platform installation.
    This will not affect any ongoing downloads.
  2. What happens if the User logs out of Ardia in their browser?
    In this case, the User will have to re-login to Ardia if they wish to download any other .raw files from the Ardia Platform to Skyline.
    This will not affect any ongoing downloads.
  3. Where can I read more about the Ardia Platform?
    Official documentation is available at: https://docs.thermofisher.com/p/ardia-platform
