Supporting Knowledge

• Uniqueness Rules are applied when registering a new material to ensure the entry is unique based on that field. Users will be prompted to decide if the duplicate material will be registered as a new asset or as a new batch of the matching asset.
• Uniqueness rules can be set on required fields at the Material level (excluding Sequence ID).
• Uniqueness rules for Compounds and Reagent libraries are usually based on the chemical structure.
• If Structures Properties is enabled, uniqueness rules for Compounds-, Reagent-, or Chemical Structures-based libraries allow combining properties for the uniqueness check using the operators "OR" and "AND."
• Administrators can disable Compound chemical structure for uniqueness checking.
