This step explains how to put into place the tabs and web parts that form the user interface for the ELN.

Folder Structure

First, create a new folder as a workspace.

Navigate to a project on your server where you have permission to create a new folder. The image below shows the project named "My Project".
Create a new subfolder. Hover over your chosen project's folder menu and click the "New Subfolder" button, as illustrated in the animation below.

On the Create Folder page:

Name the folder "ELN",
Select the Assay folder type.
Click Next.

On the Users/Permissions page:

Retain the default selection Inherit From Parent Folder
Click Finish.

Tabs

Add three tabs to the folder to reflect the basic workflow: the lab begins with Vials, which are run through different Experiments, which finally provide Assay Results.

Add the following tabs:

"Vials"
"Experiments".

To add a tab:

Click the "pencil" icon in the upper right.
This will toggle on the "plus" icon next to it.
Click the "plus" icon to create a new tab, as shown in the animation below.

Rename the tab "Assay Dashboard" to "Assay Results" and move it to the far right.

You should now have three tabs in this order: Vials, Experiments, Assay Results.
Click the pencil icon again to hide the '+' icon.

Web Parts

Finally add web parts to the tabs. These web parts allow users to manage the inventory, samples, and assay data.

Click the Vials tab.
On the Vials tab, click the dropdown labeled <Select Web Part> on the left and select Sample Sets.
Click Add.

Click the Experiments tab.
On the Experiments tab, click the dropdown labeled <Select Web Part> on the left and select Files.
Click Add.

You will see the new Files repository web part.

Now you have a basic user interface for the ELN: each tab represents a different part of the lab workflow: vials --> experiments --> assay data.
