Acquisition of New Material
Instead of manually registering germplasm with GGCE, we'll use the Acquisition tool in the Inventory menu.
On small screens, the application menu can be opened by clicking the GGCE logo.
Once in the Inventory section, select Acquisition menu. Click the New Acquisition link on the banner to display the form.
Fill in the Form
Group Name indicates which inventory group all new inventory items should be added to. This field is required and can be used to identify this batch of germplasm.
Accession Prefix will be the prefix of the accession number for all entries. Type in INTRO.
Number of Accessions is the number of accessions that should be added to GGCE. Type in 2
Select an entry in Initial Species by typing part of the scientific name. Type in the species name (e.g. Oryza), wait for GGCE to list the matching taxa, and pick one of the available options. The selected taxon will be assigned to all the samples.
The next four fields deal with inventory information for all samples. Maintenance Site can be used to set the site responsible for maintaining the samples. Select the Inventory Management Policy that will be applied to all samples. Inventory Prefix will be prepended to all inventory numbers, and Inventory Type that will be used for the inventory items.
The Accession source section can be used to set the source for all samples. In Source Type, select "collected". Enter the current date into the Source Date field.
Click the Preview button to display the list. The permanent numbers have not been assigned yet, so in the Preview window, they will display with a "-1."
After hitting Save, the specified number of new inventory records will be created, each with a corresponding new accession record. When specified, they will also be added to the specified Inventory group.
Before printing labels, don't forget to install the Label Printer app
A dialog to print labels for the new material will prompt you to immediately create and apply labels to the material.
