Storage Map
Display map of a storage
Overview
When storage is created to manage the samples, it is critical to know what is stored. The Storage Map at Labii ELN & LIMS provides such functions. The widget shall only be used in the Storage table.
Before start
Here are required settings at Labii to enable Storage Map to work:
- Tables:
- storage - the storage table
- samples, reagents, etc. - other tables that are using storage
- Columns
- storage/parent - the parent storage of the current storage
- storage/columns - number of columns in the storage
- storage/rows - number of rows in the storage
- storage/storage_coordinates - the position of the current storage in the parent storage
- samples, reagent, etc/storage - a ForeignKey to point to the storage table
- samples, reagent, etc/storage_coordinates - the position of the item in the location Note: Add metadata for the storage_coordinates column: COLUMN_IDENTIFY=storage_map-storage_coordinates
Create a table with the type Storage can create all required tables/columns automatically.
Position
Labii accepts the position in the following format:
- RxCx, wheres, R as Row, and C as Column. For example, R2C3 means row 2 and column 3. It supports all layout methods, see below.
- Xx, wheres, X as Row, and x as Column. For example, B3 means row 2 and column 3. Use "Letter as row" to display the layout correctly. This mostly used for place layout.
- Xx, wheres, X as Column, and x as Row. For example, B3 means row 3 and column 2. Use "Letter as column" or "Letter as row and column" to display the layout correctly.
The excel layout (Row as a number, and Column as a letter) and 96-well plate layout (Row as a letter, Column as number) have the opposite means of B3. Please make sure to use the correct layout. Default to "Letter as column".
Configure
There are a few columns that need to be provided before the widget can work properly.

- Letter as both row and column: R3C2 as row 3 column 2
