Record List
Display list of records
The Record List widget is a series of widgets developed in order to display a list of records within a particular section of the site. As a result of this feature, you can display a list of vials of a sample in your report, or you can include a list of chemicals on your report as well.
You can customize which fields are displayed in the widgets. Click Edit settings and choose a list of fields to display. The name field will always be included.
A list of records can be displayed in the list view by clicking on the Open list view button.
The Record List widget displays a list of predefined records. Select one or more records to display.
Settings:
- Table - Select a table from which to limit the records. You can only select records from this table.
- Records - Select one or more records.
- Fields - Fields of the table to display. The name field will always be included.
This widget is previously known as the Backlink.
When Record A references Record B with a ForeignKey or ForeignKeys column, how can you tell A is referencing B when viewing B's details? Or, if Sample A has a column "location" and refers to Location B, how do you find out which samples are in Location B?
This is exactly what Record List by ForeignKey is designed for. It displays a list of records that have ForeignKey or ForeignKeys columns pointing to this record.
Record List by ForeignKey widget requires three fields to be defined and provided before it can be used. Click Edit settings to update the following fields.
- Table, Select a table that has columns referred to this record as the value of ForeignKey or ForeignKeys.
- Column, the ForeignKey or ForeignKeys column referenced to this record. When the table changes, the column options changes automatically.
- Fields, other fields to display. On default, the name of the record will be displayed.
- Fields scannable, Please provide a list of fields that can be included through barcode/QR code scanning. Limit to ForeignKey columns only. The scannable fields can not be the ForeignKey that referenced to this record.
The name of the record and the selected fields are displayed in a list. Backlinks display items similarly to list views, but only selected fields are displayed.
You can add a new record directly linked to the current record by clicking "Add [Table Name]". This form is identical to the one for adding a record.
To import lists of records in bulk, click "Import records". Imported records will be assigned directly to the current record.
Scan barcode/QR code to add records
Labii has introduced a new feature to streamline the process of adding records. Users can now add records by simply scanning barcodes or QR codes, which proves especially useful during experiments where samples need to be documented for consumption or usage purposes. Instead of manually adding each sample, users can easily scan the barcode or QR code associated with the samples.
To enable this feature, you must first set up the scannable fields in the settings. Please note that only ForeignKey columns are scannable, and you can define these fields under the scannable fields settings.
When you are ready to scan, click on the Scan dropdown and choose the specific field you want to scan. The widget will then be activated and ready to receive signals from the barcode or QR code scanner. It's important to mention that the feature supports scanners and does not support camera.
Once you scan a code, the results will be displayed in a list format. In case of any errors or mistakes, you have the option to remove the scanned results individually by clicking on the Remove button.
Once all the relevant results have been scanned, click on the Submit button to initiate the record creation process.
After completing the initial record creation, you may find it necessary to update other values. This can be achieved by clicking on the edit icon or by using the bulk edit option available under the list view. This ensures that all necessary information is accurately recorded and documented.
In summary, Labii now supports effortless record addition via barcode or QR code scanning, simplifying the data entry process, especially in experiments involving sample tracking and documentation.
Using this widget, you can display a list of records based on a predefined query. Furthermore, the widget allows you to display results based on a particular filter.
Settings:
- Table - Select a table that has columns referred to this record as the value of ForeignKey or ForeignKeys.
- Filter - Select a filter. The query will be updated once selected.
- Query - Display a limited list of records by configuring the query.
- Fields - Fields of the table to display. The name field will always be included.
