Retrieve all this information in KB: how can I use default fields.



  1. Project code. This option allows you to have the project code field in the form to use the Project Code tools. The dedicated project code management page is available in Tools 🡪 Manage Project Codes. For more information, refer to section 10.6.  Project codes will associate your data with a project. It’s an auto-complete field but if the value is not in the Project Codes list, you may write it in and it will be automatically created. You can set up this option to be mandatory, to attribute multiple project code to the same record, and to display the project code in the summary line. Records can have multiple project codes.


  1. Multiple insertion. With this option, you can replicate x times the same record in your database. Records with the same Name values but different IDs will be created.


  1. Reagent & supplies automatic link. Creating this link allows you to order directly from modules other than Reagent & Supplies.


  1. Genotype tag system (only available in Animals and Strain & Cells module).

When you activate this function, the Genotype field is not a text field but allows you to deal with tags. Tags are automatically created when you copy/paste the genotype. The tag separators are comma and space. Spaces and commas cannot be part of the genotype name. The genotype tags accept most of the special characters and punctuation marks. Through TOOLS 🡪 Manage genotype tags, you can find an admin area. More information can be found section 10.7.


  1. Multiple owners. This function is useful when you are using group policies or strict level permission. First, the super-administrator or the administrators have to define in general option default fields (see above) who are the people who can add secondary owners: super-administrator only, administrator, staff + or staff, just by checking the corresponding box(es). Then, when the owner of the record fills in the form, he can add secondary owners. The secondary owners have the same rights to view, edit, and use the record as the main owner. For example a secondary owner can edit a storage created by the main operator
    • With the option “Allow sharing between groups”, the list of secondary owners will indicate staff from other groups. Is also possible to select a group of users as a secondary owners.


  1. Tube count in the summary line. As soon as a module is associated with the storage system and if the record is linked to tubes, with this option, the number of tubes can be displayed in the summary line.



  1. Sequence info (only available in Primers module). The sequence info will be displayed as a field. The sequence entered will be available to other tools for visualization and analysis within LabCollector including a calculation of Length, Tm, and %GC.


  1. Replicate sample. (only available in Samples module). When you activate this function, you can create a record model. When you create a new record, you can use one of your saved models available in the select list. Choose one and the form is automatically filled in with the same model values. A link between the record model and the new record will be created.
