This tutorial provides a guided tour of LabKey Biologics' user interface and search functionality, including:
- how to search the registry for entities of interest
- how to view and interpret detailed views of those entities
- how to navigate to related entities
- how to browse and refine registry grid views
Set Up Trial Server
- This tutorial assumes that you have registered and created a Biologics Trial instance of the server.
- If you have already created a biologics trial server, select it, and login: Your Sites
Biologics User Interface
This section provides a quick tour of LabKey Biologics. Click along as directed to see different aspects of the data and the available tools.
Biologics Home Page
- Navigate to your Biologic home page, which provides a search bar and links to six different data portals.
Registry Home Page
- Click the Registry portal.
- The Registry home page provides links to different Entities in the system: Molecule Sets, Molecules, etc.
Data Grids
- The Molecules page shows a data grid of all of the registered Molecules.
Detail Pages
- The M-3 Details page shows properties, components, related entities of this molecule.
- Scroll down to view the related entities.
Menu Bars
- Return to the Molecules grid page by hovering over Registry in the main menu bar and click Molecules. (Note that you can also click Molecules in the submenu bar.)
- Click LabKey Biologics to return to the main Home Page.
Search Biologics
- Constrain the search to Molecules only:
- Click Advanced
- Open the dropdown menu and select Molecule.
- Scrolling through the results, locate and click M-1 (Project A).
- Scroll to the Molecule Components and click PS-17.
