A working list is like your shopping cart - you can choose and add seeds that you want to save and use for later. Here is how you create a working list!
Add records to your list
To create a working list, you need to select a record from the Search Results Viewer and add it to the Working List Viewer. There are four ways to add a record.
Single selection
This method allows you to select and add only one record at a time for each germplasm.
1. Locate the desired record from the search results.
2. Click on beside the record name to select it.
3. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click on to add the record to the working list.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have all the desired records in your working list.
Multiple selection
This method allows you to select and add multiple records from the same germplasm group at the same time.
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to show the different selection options.
2. Click beside Multiple selection to enable it. Make sure that the button turns green ().
3. Locate the desired records from the search results.
4. Tick the of the records that you want to add to your list.
5. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to add the selected records
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have all the desired records in your working list.
Automatic selection
This method allows the system to automatically select and add all single records from a germplasm group (e.g. If germplasm IRRI 154 only has one package/record, it will be selected. However, germplasm IRRI 153 which has two packages/records, will not be selected).
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to show the different selection options.
2. Click beside Automatic selection to enable it. Make sure that the button turns green ().
If you only enable Automatic selection, the system will only select and add one record at a time. To select multiple, single records, you must enable both Automatic selection and Multiple selection.
3. Wait for the Search Results Viewer to finish reloading. The system will automatically select all single records per germplasm group.
4. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to add the selected records.
5. Review the working list to check the records added.
Add all records to the list
This method allows you to add all the records from the search to the working seed list. Selecting this option is recommended for small and specific search results, and should not be used on large search results.
1. At the top of the Search Results Viewer, click to add all records to the seed list.
2. Wait for both the Search Results Viewer and Working List Viewer to finish loading.
3. Review the list to check the records added.
If at any point you want to perform a new search, you can simply follow the steps in performing a basic or additional search. The records you’ve added to your working list will not be removed unless you clear the working list or save the list.
By default, records added to the working list will no longer appear in the search results. You can change this so that added records will still be seen but greyed out in additional searches. Simply click > toggle Retain selection.
Great job! Once satisfied with the list, you may manage the records in your working list.
Manage your working list
Once you’ve added records, you can rearrange their order or remove them from your working list. There are two ways to remove a record from your list.
Remove single items
1. From the List Viewer, locate the records that you want to remove.
2. Select the records by ticking on the left side.
3. At the top of the Working List Viewer, click to remove the selected records.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until satisfied with the seed list.
Clear the working list
At the top of the Working List Viewer, click to clear all records from the seed list.
This action cannot be undone and your seed list will not be saved. Do this only if you’re sure that you want to discard the seed list.
Great job! Once you’re done managing your seed list, it’s time to save it!
Save the working list
Once you’ve made sure your list contains all your desired records, the final step is to save it! You can save your list to the EBS database to be used for your experiments and service requests.
1. At the top right of the Working List Viewer, click .
2. A pop-up window will appear titled Seed Search List Confirmation. Confirm that you want to save by clicking Proceed to Save.
3. Another pop-up window will appear titled Create List. Provide a name for your new list.
Give your seed list a meaningful name that helps you quickly identify what seeds are included and for which experiment it will be used.
4. Click Create to finish saving your list. You can now access this list when you create an experiment.
5. Another pop-up window will appear titled Seed Search List Confirmation to confirm the creation of your new list. Click Close to move on.
Export the working list
You can also export your seed list locally to your device as an spreadsheet file.
1. At the top of the working seed list viewer, click to see the export options.
2. Select your desired export format (HTML, CSV, Text, Excel 95+, Excel 2007+).
3. A pop-up window will appear that shows your device file storage. Select where you want to save your seed list.
4. In the file name field, provide a name for your seed list.
Give your seed list a meaningful name that helps you quickly identify what seeds are included and for which experiment it will be used.
5. Click Save to start downloading your seed list. Once it is done, you may open the file to review your seed list.
Great job! You have successfully created and saved a new list. Use your newly created list in an experiment by checking our Experiment Creation User Guide.
