How to manage memorized items?
LabCollector offers the possibility to memorize multiple records at once, while being able to perform various actions on them, such as archiving, deleting, replicating, …etc. This process would help you gain time and facilitate your work. Plus, all of this is doable in any module of your choice.
To do so, please follow the below steps:
1. Go to the module of your choice (whether it’s a default or a custom one).
.
2. You have two options to memorize multiple records, either you memorize them one-by-one by clicking on the icon (located to the right of the tab), or you can perform a search and then memorize the result by clicking on the exact same icon (this time located on top of the list). (As shown in the screenshot below).
3. Once done, go to Tools –> Manage memorized items, you can now select all of your memorized records (by ticking their corresponding checkbox) or only a handful of them, you can then choose one of many actions you want to perform within the drop down menu, and finally all you have to do is click on Do!
A. Multiple Update: with this option, you can mass update multiple memorized records at once. First, you will have to select them, then it’ll ask you to choose the module to which they belong (in case multiple modules were detected), then you will have to choose the fields you want to update, and finally click on “next” to input your changes.
B. Record Sharing: you have the option to share the memorized records with secondary owners or even other groups.
C. Generate worklist with main storage / aliquots
D. Generate worklist with secondary storage

- Various actions could be executed within the worklist, you can either:
- Add a link in batch (normal link on the bottom of each record). For example, link a set of primers to a DNA sample. Please, refer to chapter 7.5.1 of the manual for more details.
-
- Take out volume by clicking on the corresponding button (for more information, please refer to chapter 7.4.3 of the manual).
- Add a process to all samples in the worklist by clicking on the corresponding button.
- Remove storage by clicking on the corresponding button. A popup will ask you which storage you want to remove for the selected records, either main, secondary or both types of storage.
- Archive records by clicking on the corresponding button (for more information, please refer to chapter 7.5.1 of the manual).
- Your list can also be printed and/or saved by clicking on the dedicated icon. When you save, a new tab will appear and you can then name your worklist, add a description and define to whom you want to share it with.
I. Lock record: once selected, you will then have to input a reason on why you want to terminate record modification (Read Only).
J. Restore record: once selected, you will then have to input a reason on why you want to restore the records (Disable Read Only).
K. Sign record
N. Delete from database: please note that if a record has a link or a designated storage, it cannot be deleted. For more information, see our KB on how to delete data.
