Select items and export a manifest corresponding to your selection.
Use command-line python tool or 3D Slicer IDC browser extension to download the files for your selection, as discussed in .
"IDC manifest" is a text file that contains URLs to the files in cloud buckets that correspond to your selection. It will contain one line for each DICOM series, as IDC files are organized in series-level folders in the cloud storage.
You will see "Cart" icon in the search results collections/cases/studies/series tables. Any of the items in these tables can be added to the cart for subsequent downloading of the corresponding files.
Get the manifest for the cart content using "Manifest" button in the Cart panel.
Clicking "Manifest" button in the "Cohort Filters" panel will given you the manifest for all of the studies that match your current selection criteria.
