PORTION_SEPARATOR

STRING, comprising a printable character

When you select Load from Scanner in the CCPRTN—Portion application and select submit to proceed load the portion data, then:

  • If empty, then portion data cannot be loaded because the Job Name, Sample Name and Portion Code is not extractable.
  • If not empty (default on deploy is '.'), then the portion data is parsed such that the sample separator is defined by the SAMPLE_SEPARATOR application preference and the portion separator is defined by this preference, and is processed as follows:
    • Portion data should be delimited by a pipe character and consist of:
      • Portion identifier comprising

        [JobName][SampleSeparator][SampleName][PortionSeparator][PortionCode]

        with leading zeros removed from the parsed data before updating the portion.

      • Location Code (optional)
      • Single-capacity Container Type Code (optional)
      • Sample Handling Code (optional)
      • Notes (optional)
    • Single portion updates should be on separate lines.
    • If a portion that matches the Job Name, Sample Name and Portion Code of an existing portion is located, then only that portion is updated with the specified content.

Typically the preference is not set at role or user level.
