Processes surrounding request creation is improved.

The following improvements are implemented:

1. View selected marker groups. The data browser now shows the selected marker group/s for a request, instead of showing “(Not Set)”.

   Image Added

2. Updated status. A request’s status is reverted to

   Status
   colour Green title APPROVED

   when the batch it previously belonged to gets deleted. Previously, the request retained the

   Status
   colour Yellow title DESIGN GENERATED

   status even after the batch is deleted. When viewing () the details of the request, “Not Applicable” is reflected for the name and status of the batch it is linked to.

The following actions and processes can now proceed accordingly:

1. receive timely and relevant notifications, and

2. view marker groups by crop.

Changes to request details are reflected after batch deletion.

A request’s status is reverted to

Selection of marker and assays is enhanced.

An improved user experience can be expected in the Service & Technology tab. Specifically, you can now:

1. View default marker and assay for fixed marker groups. For 1KRiCA, the marker and its assays are all selected by default. As such, these checkboxes will be grayed out and disabled.

   Image Added

2. Access pagination for markers and assays. The first 10 markers and assays are shown, while the rest can be accessed using the pagination feature.

Bug fixes

The bugs causing the following errors are now fixed. You can now:

1. View the correct set of action buttons beside a request, such that the accept and reject icons are not incorrectly shown, and

2. proceed to create a batch.

Management of a batch and its request/s is upgraded.

Lab managers can now expect a better user interface. The following improvements are implemented:

1. Selected marker panel is reflected. When viewing or updating the request/s in a batch, the selected marker panel/s are now shown as part of the requests' basic information found on the data browser, instead of showing “(Not Set)”. Additionally, this is also reflected on the summary section, whose background is colored in gray.

   Image Added

2. Service Provider and Technology selection is disabled. Once the batch is created, the lab manager is now restricted from changing the selected service provider and technology.

   Image Added

3. Vendor Controls. In the plate layout, the vendor controls are now correctly colored in gray.

   Image Added

4. Intertek Vendor form. The SNP IDs are now reflected in the downloaded Intertek Vendor forms. The SNP IDs are based on the selected marker assays during batch creation.

   Image Added

5. Batch, plate, and sample codes. These codes act as identifiers for a batch, plate, and sample. The codes take into account the number of requests in the batch, the program type, year, and purpose, such that a batch whose request/s use the same program, year, and purpose will use those elements' initials. In contrast, when a batch contains requests with different programs and different purposes, the former uses the initials of the laboratory receiving the request, while the latter uses the “YY” code to denote different purposes. The batch, plate, and sample codes are also followed by the batch count, plate count, and first request ID.

   Image Added

Data browser is improved.

The following improvements are featured in the tool’s data browser:

1. Status. To provide more information about a batch, a new column for status is now shown. This allows a more standardized workflow and look for the data browsers found across Service Management tools.

   Image Added

2. Delete icon. This action is now only allowed for batches with the

   Status
   colour Red title DESIGN CREATED

   status.

Bug fixes

You can now proceed to encounter no errors when:

1. viewing and editing a batch, and

2. downloading the correct vendor form.

Management of marker information is enhanced.

The following features are improved:

1. User interface. On the Marker Groups tab, the columns for Trait Category, Trait, and Marker Group Name are now sorted in ascending order by default, while the view (), edit (), and delete () action icons are enabled alongside each marker as you edit a marker group.

   Image Added

2. Download markers. You can now expect to download () an accurate offline copy of the markers belonging to a marker group, including its associated data.

   Image Added

3. Error notification. A more informative error notification is now reflected when creating a marker group name that duplicates an already existing one. Previously, users are only notified that the new marker group has not been created, instead of showing why there was an error.

   Image Added

4. Marker FNR and FPR. The system now allows values between 0 to 1 for the FNR and FPR data fields when creating or editing a marker’s information.

   Image Added

Bug fix

The column name for Chromosome is now spelled out for easier reference.

Service tab is improved.

When creating your genotyping request, the Services tab now displays additional data fields based on the purpose you select. There are three supported cases for this improvement:

1. Select marker group. For purposes such as genomic selection, additional fields will be loaded to allow you to select one or more marker groups. Simply tick the checkbox beside your preferred marker group/s.

2. Select trait/s. For purposes such as trait genotyping, additional fields will be loaded to allow you to select the trait category, trait, and marker group.

3. No additional fields to populate. For purposes such as sequencing, there is no required marker group or trait data to be selected. Simply click Next to move to the Review tab where you can finalize your request.

Combine requests with different purposes into one batch.

Lab managers can now select and combine genotyping requests made for the same service provider/laboratory into one batch, even when their purposes vary. Also, lab managers can view and select other marker groups aside from the ones already associated to the request.

From the GSM data browser, select requests with different purposes but with the same service laboratory and proceed to Create a Batch. Select additional marker group/s in the Service & Technology tab and then Save Selection.

Editing plot or package lists is now restricted.

When lab managers edit a submitted request, the radio buttons in the Entry List tab’s data browser is now disabled. This is to prevent lab managers from changing the requestor’s selected entry list. A note describing this limitation is also reflected on the data browser. Previously, radio buttons were available in this data browser.

Batch creation is improved.

The process of creating a batch is now more intuitive. This feature is also improved through integration with Marker DB. Specifically, lab managers can now:

1. View selected marker group/s. In the Service & Technology tab, the marker group/s selected during request creation are now checked (✅) by default. Also, lab managers can still revise the marker group selection during this step, depending on the chosen purpose.

   Image Added

2. Update the request’s marker group. As you create a batch, you can now manage its marker group selection in the Service & Technology tab. Here, you can select or unselect marker groups and proceed to finalize the batch.

   Image Added

3. Select relevant service providers. In the Service & Technology tab, the Service Provider drop-down list now provides you with a list of providers applicable to the request made. For example, if a request has a marker group, only providers associated to the marker group will be available for selection in the drop-down menu.

   Image Added

4. Select relevant technologies. In the Service & Technology tab, the Technology drop-down menu list now provides you with a list of technologies applicable to the service provider selected.

   Image Added

5. Select relevant assays. In the Service & Technology tab, assays can now be selected after defining the technology. You can then proceed to Save the Selection. The selection of assays depend on the marker group associated with the request, where fixed panel groups will have assays selected by default indicated by a grayed-out checkbox.

   Image Added

6. Plate Layout. When designing the plate layout, the Plate Fill Direction is now set to “columns” by default. You can still set this to “rows” by clicking the drop-down menu. Also, you can expect the plate color for Intertek’s internal controls (H11, H12) to be green.

Bug fix

You can expect to encounter no errors when viewing all selected marker groups.

View marker group and assay information.

In the data browser, you can now view () the marker group and assay/s selected for the requests in a batch. This allows lab managers to view the marker groups and assays in a batch before sending it to the service provider.

Bug fixes

The following features are now working as expected:

1. viewing a newly created batch, and

2. uploading result files.

View and edit marker groups.

A marker group’s basic information, such as trait and trait category, is now displayed when viewing () and editing () marker groups via the data browser action icons.
