Search Parameters
The Search Parameters occupy the upper section of the tool. This is where you can perform basic and additional queries for seeds and packages. You can expand and collapse this section by clicking on the header.
A. Results Summary button view the items from the input list that show no results.
B. Save search parameter icon saves the search parameters so that users can use them again when looking for records in the future.
C. Open saved search parameter icon lets users access the list of saved search parameters that they can use for future searches.
D. Reset button clears all the values from all the parameters.
E. 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 — Input List or Filters — can be seen under the Additional Search Parameters subsection. They can choose one or both of the options.
A search can be performed with only an input list. However, a search using filters can only be performed if at least one query parameter is provided (other than Program).
The Input List option shows three blank fields: (1) field type section, (2) saved lists menu, and (3) input field.
Field type section allows users to input the records based on the germplasm name, germplasm code, seed name, seed code, package label, or package code. The selected field type must match with the records to be added in the input list.
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.
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 Filters option allows users to search for the records based on the selected filter options. They can remove the filters by clicking × or the Remove filter icon.
Results Viewer
The Results Viewer occupies the lower part of the tool. This is where the results of your search will be displayed. You can filter your results or manage your search results here.
By default, the results are automatically grouped by germplasm, indicated by a row header that shows the (1) germplasm name, (2) package count, and (3) seed count.
Seeds are germplasm associated with harvest information (location, date harvested, etc.), while Packages are physical seeds placed inside a container. One seed can have multiple packages.
A. Add to Seedlist icon transfers the selected records to the working list.
B. Add ALL records to Seedlist icon transfers all records, both selected and unselected, to the working list.
C. Working List icon opens the Working List browser with the list of records added earlier. This is where users can manage their records like saving them as a list, exporting records, and more.
D. Search results setting icon modifies the search results display and the method of selecting records.
E. Notifications icon informs you about developments in the background processes.
F. Reset grid icon reverts you to the default browser display.
G. Personalized grid settings icon allows you to hide or unhide columns in the browser.
Working List
The Working List browser can be accessed by clicking the Working List icon from the Results Viewer section. This is where you can manage the selected records by arranging and deleting them, adding them to a list, exporting them, and more.
A. Add list items icon lets users add records from a saved package list to the working list.
B. Remove list items icon deletes selected or all records from the working list.
C. Save list icon lets users save the records as new or existing package list. The icon also saves the arrangement of the records set in the sort settings.
