Experiments in EBS may consist of hundreds to thousands of entries and plots per occurrence. By generating codes, users can organize them for a uniform listing of data and easy recall. Users can generate entry codes and plot codes from either the experiment or occurrence level.
Let’s get you started on generating codes!
Generate entry/plot codes for selected experiment
From the Code Generation tab, toggle left to Experiment or toggle right to Occurrence.
Select Entry or Plot to continue.
Type in the starting sequence number and leading zeroes.
You can tick the checkbox beside Apply to all occurrences to generate codes for all occurrences.
Click Add Prefix or Add Suffix. Then, select between Free Text or Variable.
Once done generating the code pattern, click Save.
Generate for multiple experiments and occurrences
Tick the checkboxes beside the occurrences. The occurrences can be from the same experiment or multiple experiments.
Click the Update experiment- or occurrence-level data > Generate entry code or Generate plot code. For both options, users can choose to generate codes between the Experiment level or the Occurrence level.
Repeat the steps 3-4 of generating the entry/plot codes for selected experiment.
Once done generating the code pattern, click Save.
If users select occurrences from multiple experiments and want to generate codes at the Experiment level, the dropdown sections group the occurrences to their respective experiments and the generated codes can differ per experiment.
On the other hand, if users select occurrences from multiple experiments and want to generate codes at the Occurrence level, the generated codes will be applied for all of them regardless of the experiments where they belong to.
Great! What are the next steps?
Prepare data collection files for experiments and occurrences.
Add or update protocols to the occurrences.
