7.1 Enter a new record
All modules are constructed in a similar way. To add new records click on the top-right link “Add New Record” in the menu bar . A form will be displayed to enter data. The fields will vary based on the default fields for the module as well as any custom fields that may have been created. You can read in our KB: how to create a record.
This example illustrates the form for entering new strains and cells. Required fields are marked with an asterisk *. Additional tabs on the left hand side of the form reveal different forms for entering particular types of information.
Multiple records can be added successively with the Save & Add button.
Storage data is accessible with the tab on the left. Please see section 7.3 for more information on storage.
Default field options can be activated or deactivated. Please refer to the section 5.1.
- Generally, when you open a module you see the page with no records. When you just click on 'Search' icon (empty search field), all the records will be displayed below.
- Records are the name of the samples, antibodies, chemical structures, reagents, and supplies, etc.
- Each record will have its own record ID, which will be used for barcode creation . For example to barcode all samples in the lab.
* Read in our KB: how to create barcodes in LabCollector. - You can create a new record by clicking on the button.
- You can edit the record by clicking on icon.
- You can duplicate the record using this icon.
- You can delete the record using this icon.
Warning |
Take care as you cannot delete records that are in use in LabCollector. For example, if the sample is being used for some analysis then you will not be able to delete it. |
- You can print the record using this icon.
- You can also memorize the record using this icon, which can be used further in LabCollector.
Note |

When viewing records, there are several icons on the left hand side as well as on the right hand side. The availability of these icons varies by module.
NEW! You can now see exactly which records were assigned to a storage and which ones were not, the following icon will show up next to the record's name (in case it had a storage), which will help you avoid having to open up the record's content table to see whether it is stored or not. You can also choose whether you want to display the icon or not in any given module.
Records contain some of the following icons. Note that some icons are module specific.
The following icons can appear on the right hand side of a record:
