Acquisition: Checking for Duplicates
After documenting incoming materials to the Genebank, we want to check whether we already have a copy of these newly received materials in the Genebank, either as registered seeds (accession) or unregistered samples (from another incoming batch with TemporaryID only)
This function will search the database for similar entries by name (cultivar name, DonorID, CollNo, etc) using algorithms for
- exact match
- edistance
- soundex
Checking for duplicates can be done
- by batch where the user can either specify/choose the BatchID of the incoming materials to be compared or upload list from a file or
- by entry where a name is entered in the search box
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
