Germplasm Search

Regular and admin users can use the Search tab. For convenience, the Germplasm Search is already incorporated into different EBS tools (e.g., Experiment Creation). This user guide, however, is focused on how to utilize Germplasm Search as a standalone tool.

From the Germplasm tool, click Search. The tab will display the tool’s key sections: the (1) Query Parameters and the (2) Results Viewer.

Query Parameters

The (1) Query Parameters section occupies the upper section of the tool. This is where you can perform basic and additional queries for germplasm. You can expand and collapse this section by clicking on the header.

  • Reset button clears all the values from all the parameters.

  • Find button executes the search process based on the parameters set by the users.

 

Users can also perform an additional search to improve their results. The two options — Add Condition or Input List — can be seen under the Additional Search Parameters subsection. They can choose one or both of the options.

The Input List modal window shows three blank fields: (1) field type section, (2) saved lists menu, and (3) input field.

  1. Field type section allows users to input the records based on the designation or other germplasm name types. The selected field type must match with the records to be added in the input list.

  2. Saved lists menu allows users to select the records to be searched based on a saved germplasm list. When users clicked the Select saved list button, the records will be added to the input list.

  3. Input field allows users to list down the records to be searched in the tool. The records must match with the field type selected earlier.

 

The Add Condition option allows users to search for the records based on the selected filter options. They can remove the filters by clicking × or the Remove icon.
