When features are under development and not yet ready to be incorporated into the production product, they may be included as experimental features. These features may change, break, or disappear at any time. We make no guarantees about what may happen if you turn on these experimental features. Some experimental features are only available when specific modules are included. Proceed with discretion and please contact LabKey if you are interested in sponsoring further development of features listed here. Enabling or disabling some features will require a restart of the server.

Allow gap with withCounter and rootSampleCount expression

Check this option if gaps in the count generated by withCounter or rootSampleCount name expression are allowed. Changing this setting requires a server restart.

Allow merge of study dataset that uses server-managed additional key fields

Merging of dataset that uses server-managed third key (such as GUID or auto RowId) is not officially supported. Unexpected outcomes might be experienced when merge is performed using this option.

Assay linked to study consistency check

Flags rows in assay-linked datasets where the subject and timepoint may be different from the source assay. When enabled, if rows in the linked study dataset are not consistent with the source assay, you'll see them highlighted. For example, if an assay result row was edited after being linked (in this case to change the visit ID), the dataset would alert the user that there was something to investigate:

Recalling and relinking the affected rows should clear the inconsistency.

Block Malicious Clients

Reject requests from clients that appear malicious. Make sure this feature is disabled before running a security scanner.

Client-side Exception Logging to Mothership

Report unhandled JavaScript exceptions to mothership.

Client-side Exception Logging to Server

Report unhandled JavaScript exceptions to the server log.

Disable enforce Content Security Policy

Stop sending the Content-Security-Policy header to browsers, but continue sending the Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only header. This turns off an important layer of security for the entire site, so use it as a last resort only on a temporary basis (e.g., if an enforce CSP breaks critical functionality).

Disable Login X-FRAME-OPTIONS=DENY

By default LabKey disables all framing of login related actions. Disabling this feature will revert to using the standard site settings.

Disable SQLFragment strict checks

SQLFragment now has very strict usage validation, these checks may cause errors in code that has not been updated. Turn on this feature to disable checks.

Generic [details] link in grids/queries

This feature will turn on generating a generic [details] link in most grids.

Grid Lock Left Column

Lock the left column of grids on horizontal scroll, keeping the ID of the sample or entity always visible. Applies to grids in Sample Manager, Biologics, and Freezer Manager applications.

Include Last-Modified header on query metadata requests

For schema, query, and view metadata requests, enabling this will include a Last-Modified header such that the browser can cache the response. The metadata is invalidated when performing actions such as creating a new list or modifying the columns on a custom view.

Less restrictive product project lookups

Allow for lookup fields in product projects to query across all folders within the top-level folder.

Media data folder export and import

Enable a subset of Media data for folder export and processing of data for folder import. This does not provide a full-fidelity transfer of data.

Media Ingredient read permissions

Enforce media ingredient read permissions.

No Guest Account

When this experimental feature is enabled, there will be no guest account. All users will have to create accounts in order to see any server content.

No Question Marks in URLs

Don't append '?' to the end of URLs unless there are query parameters.

Notebook Custom Fields

Enable custom fields in Electronic Lab Notebooks. Learn more in this topic:

• Author a Notebook

Notifications Menu

Display a notifications 'inbox' icon in the header bar with a display of the number of notifications; click to show the notifications panel of unread notifications.

Requests Menu in Biologics

Display "Requests" section in menu to all Biologics users.

Resolve Property URIs as Columns on Experiment Tables

If a column is not found on an experiment table, attempt to resolve the column name as a Property URI and add it as a property column.

Sample Finder in Biologics

Enable the Sample Finder feature within Biologics.

Sample/Aliquot Selector

Enable the Sample/Aliquot Selector button to show in sample grids within Sample Manager and Biologics.

Use QuerySelect for row insert/update form

This feature will switch the query based select inputs on the row insert/update form to use the React QuerySelect component. This will allow for a user to view the first 100 options in the select but then use typeahead search to find the other select values.

Use Sub-schemas in Study

Separate study tables into three groups: Datasets, Design, Specimens. User defined queries are not placed in any of these groups.

Vaccine Study Protocol editor

The study protocol editor (accessed from the Vaccine Study Protocols webpart) has been deprecated and protocol information will be shown in a read only mode. The edit button can be shown by enabling this feature, but this capability will be removed permanently in a future release. Please create any new study protocols in the format as defined by the "Manage Study Products" link on the study Manage tab.

Skip Importing Chromatograms

Enable to prevent the server from storing chromatograms in the database for newly imported files; instead load them on demand from .skyd files.

Prefer SKYD Chromatograms

When the server has the information needed to load a chromatogram on demand from a .skyd file, fetch it from the file instead of the database.

Rserve Reports

Use an R Server for R script evaluation instead of running R from a command shell. See LabKey/Rserve Setup Guide for more information.

Check for return URL Parameter Casing as 'returnUrl'

The returnUrl parameter must be capitalized correctly. When you enable this feature, the server will check the casing and throw an error if it is 'returnURL'.

Use Abstraction Results Comparison UI

Use a multi-column view for comparing abstraction results.

Use Last Abstraction Result

Use only the last set of submitted results per person for compare view. Otherwise all submitted iterations will be shown.

Abstraction Comparison Anonymous Mode

Make person names and randomize ordering for abstraction comparison views.
