Participants in the Data Exploration Tool
The Participants Tab provides information about the participants that were returned by the filters applied to the INCLUDE cohort in the Data Exploration Tool.
Users can access the Participants Tab by selecting it, between the Summary and Biospecimens Tabs in the Data Exploration Tool.
Adding or Removing Data Columns
The columns in the Participants Tab provide additional information about the participants returned from the user’s query. 8 columns are displayed by default. Users can add or remove columns using the Gear icon in the top right of the tab.
