The Participants Back-end component is used to upload sample records, and provides facilities for selecting files to upload, and setting the data types and default values of columns in the sample table. The component is a .NET assembly but has a COM interface to support use from mrScriptBasic.

The following diagram illustrates how the tabs in the Participants GUI link into the Participants Viewer and Participants Back-end components. (The Participants Viewer component is a private assembly that is installed only as part of the Participants activity.)
