Implement wizards for registration of samples transfered from an external operator

[Nicklas Nordborg]

Material in the for of Specimen, Lysate, RNA, DNA and FlowThrough is being transfer to us from an external lab. The transfer will happen at regular intervals in the future and we will need a set of wizards for registering this transfer.

The physical transfer is a set of boxes that contain biomaterial. There is only one type of biomaterial in a single box. The contents of the boxes is available as an Excel file.

The goal of the wizards is to make sure that the biomaterial in the boxes are registered and linked to items in lorry. In the perfect scenario the biomaterial can be linked to existing data that has been imported via the JSON importer. In this case we will simply generate a new target box position and link to the existing items.

There are other scenarios where it is harder to match against existing data. How to handle this is not yet decided.

So far, the wizards that we need are something like the following:

• #1479: A storage box creation wizard for creating new boxes where the transferred material should be placed. The scheme should be similar to our existing box scheme, but we do not want to mix the external material with what we process in our own lab. The existing storage box creation wizard can probably be modified for this purpose.

• #1480: An import wizard for the Excel data file. This should validate and link to existing items and create new items.

• #1481: A wizard for generating lab protocols for moving biomaterial from the transfer boxes to the new storage boxes.

• #1482: A wizard for registration of the transfer results. It must be possible to handle cases of missing tubes, extra tubes, etc.
