ContentsCreating New SamplesBasically there are four different ways to create new Samples;
Storing SamplesThe edited sample can be saved with the Save-command or by pressing CTRL+S. Note that saving a Sample is not possible if there are condition error flags (e.g., missing mandatory value or plausibility check failed). A saved Sample is stored on the connected SeqSphere+ server. Once Samples are saved they can be viewed and if allowed and not locked edited by other users. Searching and Retrieving Stored SamplesThe command Search Sample allows to search the sample database on the SeqSphere+ server. It opens a dialog window that can be switched from Quick to Advanced mode with the buttons at the upper right side of the window. Quick ModeThe Quick mode allows to perform a simple search in epi metatdata fields for a given text. The fields that should be searched can be specified by clicking the Choose Fields button. The settings for Project and Recently modified can be used to limit the search to the specified project or to samples that were modified recently. Advanced ModeThe Advanced mode can be used to define more sophisticated search criteria.
Search Result ListPress the button Search to start the search and view a list of the Samples that were found in the database matching the defined search criteria. If no search criteria are defined, all Samples in database are viewed. For performance reasons, the size of the result list is limited to 250 rows by default. If more Samples are found, the Previous page and Next page buttons below the search result can be used to step through the result pages. If Samples across several Projects are found then the Samples are ordered by Projects in the result list. The Choose Columns button in the upper right corner of the list can be used to choose the metadata fields that should be displayed. Samples can be opened for viewing or editing by selecting them in the result list and clicking the Load selected-button. Note that holding the SHIFT- or CTRL-key while clicking Samples allows to select multiple Samples. Also note that selecting a Project will open all Samples in it. Double-clicking a Project in the result-list opens all Samples of that Project. Double-clicking a Sample opens only this Sample. Deleting SamplesOnly the Sample owner can delete a Sample. Deletion is done by using the Delete Sample command in the tool bar. By using the menu command File | Delete Samples or the context menu after selection of more than one Sample in the navigation tree several Samples can be deleted at once. |
