The Import Module is not a feature exclusive to Lab or LIMS. It is available for all products. </p> <p>If you would like to learn more about the Import Module and how it can be used specifically to address your needs, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email to set up an interactive desktop meeting to show you how.</p> <p>Thanks, </p> <p>Conrad </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-371 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:01:29 +0000 swfouchier 371@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>An other thing I want to address. If I am in a PED, click samples, view the plate/container I can not delete samples.<br /> Why is this? I can add en move, these actions are saved, but deleting is not?<br /> Thanks,<br /> Sigrid </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-370 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 03:50:21 +0000 swfouchier 370@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Dear Conrad,<br /> As I posted earlier, we do not have lims. Our Genetic Field workers (GFW) and technicians are the Clinical users and me and one other post-doc are Lab users. No LIMS, no web.<br /> The problem in our lab is that the GFW, who visits the patient at home, comes to the lab to add PED info in Progeny and process the blood sample including storage of plasma samples. Since Clinical users do not have full access to the sample options, they put this info in fields I created for this purpose, but they do not have acces to the plate info and therefore they have an excell DB to see where the next sample should go. Of course it would be much nicer if they are able to do this directly in Progeny. Since we only store 3 plasma samples per patient we do not really need LIMS. They also do not need the LAB version. These versions are all well to sophisticated for the actions we want the GFW to perform. And I guess the import module is also not avaliable in Clinical?! I do believe they have the Sample bottum when they open a PED en therfore they could add samples and put them on a plate/container if the plate/container exsists. This would perfect for us, but in P8 they can not add aliquots via this route and therefore it would be most usefull for us that this would be possible when you add a sample plus aliquotes at an individual when you are in the PED.<br /> Stephen Miller mentiones once that the differences between Clincial and Lab would change in the future. Is this indeed the case and what would happen then with the sample options?<br /> Off course the option will be to expand our current Progeny setup, but this will probably costs us a lot of euros, just to have the ability to add aliquotes by the GFWs/ Clinical users.<br /> What do you think about this?<br /> Best, Sigrid </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-363 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:22:57 +0000 Conrad Brammer 363@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>&gt;Even if you want to put the same sample in the same plates it wants aliquotes. This means now that I have to add each aliquote one by one.</p> <p>The conversion process will create the aliquots for you, so you would not have to create aliquots one by one. They can also be created in batches after you have converted to Progeny 8. You can do this via actions in LIMS or via the Import Module by importing your aliquot samples and specifying a "Parent Sample Name".</p> <p>&gt;Is it possible to add a sample and immediately also determine how many of the same aliquots I want to add?</p> <p>Yes. You can create an action as a right click menu option in Progeny LIMS to create an aliquot and prompt you to enter the number of aliquots you would like to create.</p> <p>&gt;BTW, Is it true that adding aliquotes in Progeny lab is not possible?</p> <p>No. You can add aliquots via the import module. Simply import the aliquots you'd like to add to the database and include a column for "Parent Sample Name" as long as you identify a sample name that exists in the database the aliquots will be added as aliquots of the specified parent sample. You can also include "Container Name" to import your aliquots directly into a container.</p> <p>Thanks! Hope this helps. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-350 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 08:27:29 +0000 swfouchier 350@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>BTW, Is it true that adding aliquotes in Progeny lab is not possible? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-349 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 06:06:37 +0000 swfouchier 349@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Even if you want to put the same sample in the same plates it wants aliquotes.<br /> This means now that I have to add each aliquote one by one.

The aliquot will be represented as "[Parent Sample Name]_[auto increment]". </p> <p>In other words, if the sample "DNA326" is on 3 different plates in Progeny 7. The conversion will represent those samples as the following:</p> <p>DNA326<br /> DNA326_1<br /> DNA326_2</p> <p>They will retain all of the data that was present in Progeny 7, and will continue to be linked to the same individual. The only thing that changes is the Sample Name and Barcode.</p> <p>Thanks for the post, </p> <p>Conrad </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-327 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:37:21 +0000 tdorovski 327@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Hi Dave, </p> <p>I was wondering, how do you guys handle these when upgrading and existing Progeny7 database to 8, where there are already samples into multiple plates? </p> <p>Please let me know </p> <p>Regards </p> <p>Tsvyatko </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-319 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:40:25 +0000 David DeRam 319@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Jesse,</p> <p>There are several reasons why you may not want to add a sample to more than one plate. There were best practice considerations in making this change in version 8. You are correct that adding as aliquots is the right approach.</p> <p>This is a longer conversation than we may want to have in this context. My understanding is that you have been in touch with Conrad and you are planning to discuss. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-318 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:17:49 +0000 mccanejd 318@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>I've been thinking about this, and I suppose one solution would be to create an aliquot of the sample if we need to run it on another plate. I'll play around with this for a while and see how it works. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/118#post-315 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:48:12 +0000 mccanejd 315@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>While setting up our new database, I noticed a few things that I could do in Progeny 7 but could not do in Progeny 8. One main difference I noticed is that I cannot add a sample to more than one plate (probably due to a plate being treated as a container rather than a plate, as it was in Progeny 7). When I add a sample that is already part of one plate to a new one, the sample is removed from the original plate. Because of this, I can't have a sample located in a container as well multiple plates. This functionality was essential to our inventory system. Is there any way to have this feature in Progeny 8? Or is it something that may be returned to the program in the near future?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>-Jesse </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/42#post-80 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:57:42 +0000 Rainer 80@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Are there any other community members interested in this functionality?<br /> YES </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/42#post-70 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:44:53 +0000 Anonymous 70@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Thanks for your post Jamie! I would recommend adding a final stage to your workflow called 'Completed'. Then you would be able to maintain which samples ran through a particular workflow and show them as being completed. Another option would be to add another reaction to your final stage that updates a field to be marked as 'complete'. I will put in a feature request for adding a system reaction 'Remove from Workflow' which would clear the workflow and the workflow stage.<br /> Are there any other community members interested in this functionality? </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/42#post-69 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:07:36 +0000 jamie-lheureux 69@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>This question is for anyone who uses the workflows in LIMS. What do you do when a sample is done going through a workflow and doesn't need anything else done? I don't see any way to remove a sample from a workflow without putting it into another one. Maybe I am missing something since I am new to the workflow process. My only idea has been to put it into another workflow called 'completed' or something like that. Can anyone share with me what they are doing? Or, perhaps a new feature could be a reaction that removes sample from workflow like remove sample from container. </p>
