Go to inventory > Plates > Upload > DNA Plate > upload these plates
Custom Queries > New Custom Query
Schema:
[ { displayName: "Plate Name", path: "name" }, { displayName: "Barcode", path: "barcode.barcodeString" }, { displayName: "Created At", path: "createdAt" }, { displayName: "Workflow Run", path: "workflowCollection.workflowRun.name" }, { renderAliquotCount: true, pathToAliquotContainers: "aliquotContainers" } ]
Query:
fragment containerArrayRecordFragment on containerArray { id name barcode { id barcodeString } createdAt aliquotContainers { id aliquot { id volume } } workflowCollection { id workflowRun { id name } } }
Workflow Definitions > Create a new workflow definition with the following tasks:
Aliquot Rearray
Execute Worklist
Run Query
Link these outputs/inputs.
Publish the workflow definition
Workflow Run > New Workflow Run
Go through Aliquot Rearray, selecting the previously uploaded plates.
Execute the worklist.
Go through the Run Query tool.
The output plates should be the same as the input plates (i.e. allowing an admin user to link this step's output with a downstream step's input so that users can't skip this step)
The query results data table should include aliquot count info.
A user should be able to export the data table from within the data table record view as well as through right-clicking in the data table library.
