#2 Tips to Boost your LabCollector

Here are some interesting tips we have for you today:

New Types of Custom Fields

New types of custom fields are now available with the updated interface in custom fields:

• NCBI autocomplete: to include terms/names from NCBI databases such as taxonomy, biosamples, gene and many others.
• YES/NO select list with the possibility to be a category field.
• Tracking link: to track shipments or to link information from another database based on a variable field.

Derived Samples Option Action Button

From Strains & Cells, samples, animals, chemical structures and custom modules records, you can directly create derived samples by clicking on .

A form will open to create a sample derived from the record you have selected. A new record is automatically created in the samples module with the name of origin field from the main record derived and a link tab appears on the record file to mention the link between those samples.

Choose Your Default Fields & Enable New Functions

LabCollector comes with default fields ready to be used. But, perhaps in your lab some of those fields are not useful — you can now deactivate those fields. You also have NEW advanced options such as Multiple owners and Reagents Automatic Link to facilitate your daily use of LabCollector!
