Setting metadata on default fields in module based-assay Will Holtz  2015-01-21 13:37

Hi,

In a module-based assay I define assay domains via batch/run/result.xml. For the fields I define in these files, I can set metadata. However, I am unable to set metadata for default fields (Comments, Flag, etc) because Labkey gives an error if I try to list these in the domain xml files. Is there a way to automatically apply metadata to such fields in a module-based assay? In particular I am trying to set the Hidden, ShowInInsertView, ShowInUpdateView, and ShowInDetailsView fields.

thanks!

Hi Will,

You can define those values, but you would be defining them under the queries directory rather than the domains one.

So in this case, you would go to <module-name>/assay/ASSAY_NAME/queries and then edit the Data.query.xml, Run.query.xml, and Batches.query.xml files respectively instead of editing those XML files under the /domains directory.

For more information, please review the document here on the Assay Type development modules - https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=moduleassay

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Regards,

Jon
