To set up the aliquot page, users should include the "aliquotsCollection" section within the "data" block specified in the JSON snippet below.

To configure the 'Create Aliquot' page with the Barcode field, simply incorporate the following code snippet within the aliquotsCollection found in the common section.

Example JSON

For a detailed view, refer to the Example Barcode field in aliquots page.json.

It's important to note the difference between the specimen.barcodes field in the common section and the specimen.barcode field in the dictionary:

• The ‘specimen.barcodes’ field in the aliquot section operates as a textarea field, similar to the labels field for aliquots. In this field, you can enter barcodes separated by commas, newlines, or tabs, with each barcode associated with a specific aliquot. This input effectively generates the aliquots.

• Conversely, the ‘specimen.barcode’ field in the dictionary section is a text field intended for entering a single barcode linked to a specimen. Consequently, the barcode provided on the create aliquot page will be stored and displayed on the overview page.

To set up the default values for the fields in the aliquot collection page, users should include the 'defaultValue' property for fields in the "aliquotsCollection" section within the "data" block specified in the JSON snippet below.

In the example below, the field defaults to its parent value and is hidden from the data entry screen. Users must include the ‘defaultValue' property for fields 'ST4' to copy the parent value to child specimens in the 'aliquotsCollection' section within the 'data’ block specified in the CP JSON file.
