- Printing by a printer connected to the server – role of the Direct Print button
In most cases, label printing is done by connecting the printer directly to the user’s computer, and the browser will drive the operation. This is the normal operation of the application hosted in a laboratory.
When Collec-Science is used in the field, the terminals do not necessarily have the appropriate connectors (or drivers) to connect the ...

- Scanning a 1D barcode returns parasitic characters
With a DataLogic QBT2430 showerhead, scanning some 1D codes will return parasitic characters before the encoded number, e.g. ]1C.
The problem occurs with codes encoded in EAN128: prefer codes in CODE 128, which do not present this problem, if you decide to create 1D codes with specialized software.

- Examples of mass import files
Import a list of containers
container_import.csv
In the example shown, containers A1 to A3 are of type 1.
Containers B1 to B3 are of type 2, and are stored in containers with a UID of 254 or 255. At the time of import, the corresponding movements will be generated.
Importing a sample list

- List of codes assigned to collec-science databases
Collec-Science can be deployed anywhere in order to manage your sample collections as you wish, but also list of equipments or data collections. A unique UID is generated by application. However, two applications, appli1 and appli2 can create twice the same UID. Inside the QRcode associated to the object, we keep the application name (variable ...
- The search for samples or containers is very slow
The query used to search for samples is complex and involves many tables. In some cases, Postgresql does not prepare its execution properly, which can then take a lot of time (several dozen times the normal time).
To solve the problem, you have to “clean” the database, by asking a system administrator :
to connect to ...
