INFO - EXPORT- ELEMENTS - Improved defaults and order?
Now I know more about how to export a list of entities with annotation but earlier it was a bit confusing. So, some suggestions:
- There could be defaults in terms of boxes checked. I would suggest 'Name' in COLUMNS checked together with 'Simple molecule', 'Protein' and 'Gene' in TYPES. When used for the first time, nothing is checked by default and when you click download, you have nothing.
- The order of checkboxes could be updated, for example 'Name' should go first (top-left corner) as the most needed
- For some reason I was not noticing options for exporting annotation via the Annotation section. It might to do something with the visual but I simply was ignoring that. Kind of not on the "same level" or not intuitive, I am not sure exactly why. Instead I was focusing on checkboxes, which ones I should actually use. I tried several before discovering that the information I needed was in 'References' in COLUMNS. And now I know that there is a much better way to export it via Annotation section.
- Defaults could be for Annotation too. I think 'ChEBI', 'HGNC Symbol' and 'UniProt'.
