Add a Blank Record

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.

Open Add Blank Record Form

There are 3 ways to open add blank record form:

1. Add from Side Menu

1

Click the Add button in the left-side menu.

2

A list of available tables will appear. Use the search box to filter and locate the table you want.

3

Select a table (e.g., Experiments, Samples) to create a blank record.

4

Add Record form interface will be opened

2. Add from Table List View

From any Table List View, you can also create a new blank record.

1

Click the Add [Table Name] button in the navigation bar.

2

In the dropdown, select Add Blank Record.

3

The blank record form will open, allowing you to input data.

3. Add from Project List View

In the Project List View, you can create a new record linked to your project.

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.

Extract and Fill with AI

Use artificial intelligence to automatically extract and fill form fields from a block of descriptive text.

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.
