Add a Blank Record

Add a blank experiment, sample, or other record type.

The Add a Blank Record function allows users to manually create a new, empty record in any table — such as Experiments, Samples, Projects, or other data types.

This method is best suited when you want to add one single record and fill in all information manually through the form interface.

Unlike bulk import or template-based creation, which are optimized for multiple entries or prefilled content, Add a Blank Record gives you a clean, customizable starting point to record unique data.

Side Menu

When you are in the Add Record interface, Labii provides several convenient side menu tools to help streamline data entry and maintain data integrity.

AI Assistant

The AI Assistant helps you quickly populate form fields by interpreting structured or descriptive text input. Simply paste your data, and the AI will generate a JSON response that can be applied to your form.

Click the AI Assistant button in the side menu to open the AI Assistant panel on the right.

2

Paste your form data or details into the input field and press Enter to submit.

3

Review the AI-generated JSON response.

4

Choose how to apply the data:

• Click Update to fill only empty fields (preserves existing data)

• Click Overwrite to replace all fields, including those with existing data

5

If needed, click Edit response to manually modify the AI-generated JSON before applying it.

6

Optionally, click Copy to copy the AI response to your clipboard for other uses.

Form GPTs

Labii provides two specialized Form GPTs to help you interpret and populate form data:

FormDataParseGPT

• Extracts form data from provided text with high accuracy

• Ideal for parsing structured information like contact details from email signatures, specifications from documents, or metadata from descriptions

• Best used when you have descriptive text containing specific data points

FormDataGenerationGPT

• Generates form data based on general information and context

• Uses intelligent inference to populate fields when exact data isn't provided

• Less precise than FormDataParseGPT but useful for filling non-critical fields or generating sample data

• Best suited for fields that don't require exact descriptive information

For optimal accuracy, use FormDataParseGPT when extracting specific information from text. Use FormDataGenerationGPT when you need to quickly populate forms with reasonable default values.

Check Duplicate

Click Check Duplicate before saving to verify whether another record with the same name already exists.

This ensures data consistency and prevents duplicate entries in your table.

Save as Default

Administrators can click Save as Default to store the current form’s data as the default template for future records in the same table.

The next time a new record is added, these default values will automatically be preloaded.

You can also adjust these defaults later by editing the default_add_query in the table settings.

Form Link

When you click Documentation, a link to the current form will appear. You can use this link to create or build a workflow.

Form Query

The form can be customized with the following query parameters.

• Parameter to prepopulate data - Use bHN6R2RhdGFud0ZP to preassign data to the form. The value is a JSON string.

• Parameter to submit the form automatically - Use MAZFNvXcgdMg to submit the form automatically.

• Parameter to hide fields - Use dUJJUGZpZWxkc19oaWRkZW53Rk9Y to hide fields.

• Parameter to disable fields - Use d0RLUmZpZWxkc19kaXNhYmxlZHlIUVo_ to disable fields.

• Parameter to make fields as required - Use d0RLUmZpZWxkc19yZXF1aXJlZHlIUVo_ to make fields as required.
