Supporting Knowledge

• The enable check box allows users to:

  • Register new materials from the material table (except for Compounds and Reagents).

  • Create new lots/batches from the material table.

  • Create child materials, which have an internal reference to the material from which it originated (e.g., a Plasmid generated in a Bacteria).

    • To enable this option, the Internal Reference type “Lineage-Parent” must be created, and when a user creates a child material of the same type as its parent, they will have the option to copy parent fields to the child material.

• Available Duplicate Resolutions:

  • Don't Submit Duplicates: duplicates will not be registered.

  • Treat as Unique: duplicates will be registered as a new asset.

  • Use Matches: duplicates will be registered as a batch/lot of the existing asset.
