Automatically generating sequence number values for specimens steve harris  2017-09-19 03:20

Hi

I would like to be able to automatically generate the sequence num value for specimen events as the users will be manually adding specimens to the study (and then hide it from the data entry form entirely as pointed out in a previous post).

Is this possible? And if so, how do I do it?

Steve

Hi Steve,

At this time, there is no feature to automatically generate the sequence num value with the current specimen repository.

Although LabKey is intended to batch sync to external LIMS systems (thereby negating the need to do any kind of automatic incremental specimen additions), it is something that has been considered for a future release.

Regards,

Jon
