Search Menu¶

The KDManage Search Tool enables users to search for various entries across the different data sets which are:

Trial data (all four data sets combined);

Inventory data;

Ancestor data;

Genotype trait data; and

Genotype specimen data.

KDManage features two search methods which are described in the following sections:

Standard Search

CSV Search

Standard Search¶

A Standard Search allows users to search through data that is already available in KDManage, with a table for each of the data sets that are listed in the above section. An example of a typical search table for trial data can be seen in the image below:

Searching Data with the Standard Search¶
Step	Action
1.	Navigate to the Standard Search Page in KDManage. There should be a set of tables (like the image above) - one for each of the data sets.
2.	Select the Search Button to open the Search Window as illustrated in the image below.
3.	Choose the search parameters and then select the Search Button to display results in the browser.
4.	To edit the search, select the Search Button to display the Search Window again. Additional search parameters can be added or removed here with the + Add Button or - Remove Button. You can also edit existing parameters here or select the Reset Button to clear all search parameters.

Note

CSV results are limited to 50,000 entries.

The Pedigree Tree¶

Depending on the table being used, table rows can be expanded for more information. This is illustrated in the image below which shows the Pedigree Tree for a genotype in the ancestor data by selecting the Pedigree Button.

CSV Search¶

A search can also be performed on a single CSV column. The CSV search is similar to the standard search except results are filtered to match a column from an uploaded CSV file. A small section of an example CSV file is shown below:

Note

Column names must match the column names of data tables.

Searching Data with the CSV Search¶
Step	Action
1.	Navigate to the Standard Search Page in KDManage and uploading a file by selecting the Choose File Button and selecting a file from your local machine.
2.	Select a column and then a data set from the dropdown menus that appear (as seen in the below image), then select the Search Button. CSV Search Options (select to zoom)
3.	The results table has the same functionality as a standard search. The image below demonstrates CSV search results for GenotypeID.

Note

At the bottom of the results in the example above, the empty table Genotype Trait Data show that no records were found to match entries in the CSV file.
