Header

• Organisation Scope

  Indicates whether this entity is available organisation-wide or laboratory-wide.

  • Checked—The entity is available to users who are logged into any laboratory within the organisation.

  • Unchecked—The entity is only available to users who are logged into the current laboratory.

  Setting the biofield's scope upon creation depends upon the user's security level for the CCBIOFIELD:CREATE resource. The possible security levels for the resource, from greater scope to lower scope, are:

  • full—full

  • 3—LAB AND ORG

  • 2—ORG ONLY

  • 1—LAB ONLY

  Where a user has multiple roles and each role contains different rights. then any of the role-right combinations may contain the resource. If the resource does not exist across all role-right combinations for the user, then the user has no access to the resource. Otherwise the user's security level for the resource is determined as the greatest scope across all role-right combinations for the user. For example, if a user has Role1 that contains RightA, and Right A contains security level 2 for the resource, and the same user has Role2 that contains RightB, and RightB contains security level 1 for the resource, then the user has a security level of 2 for the resource.

  The selection in this field can determine the visibility for other fields in this form, and the content of various drop-down selection lists.

  Indicates whether a job or sample biofield created from this biofield is included in report record sets.

• Use Scope

  The scope of biofield use:

  • All—Biofields related to either job or sample entities.

  • Job—Biofields related to job entities.

  • Sample—Biofields related to sample entities.

• Report Mask

  The display mask used to format reportable content of a job or sample biofield created from this biofield.

  Report display masks use the browser's locale to render the display.

  Report display masks cannot use any alignment mechanisms as it is up to the reporting engine to attend to the alignments. Fixed character padding is the extent of any kind of padding or alignment, and needs either a prefix character added or some special (non-standard) replacement for the # character.

  Numeric display mask characters acceptable by CCLAS

  Character	Description
  None	Displays the number with no formatting.
  (0)	Digit place-holder. Displays a digit or a zero. If the expression has a digit in the position where the zero appears in the format string, then the formatted expression contains it; otherwise it contains a zero in that position. If the number has fewer digits than there are zeros (on either side of the decimal) in the format expression, then the formatted expression contains leading or trailing zeros. If the number has more digits to the right of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the right of the decimal separator in the format expression, then the formatted expression contains the number rounded to as many decimal places as there are zeros. If the number has more digits to the left of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the left of the decimal separator in the formatted expression, then the formatted expression contains the extra digits without modification.
  (#)	Digit place-holder. Displays a digit or nothing. This symbol works like the 0 digit place-holder, except that leading and trailing zeros are not displayed if the number has fewer digits than there are # characters on either side of the decimal separator in the format expression. If the expression has a digit in the position where the # character appears in the format string, then the formatted expression contains it, otherwise nothing is displayed in that position.
  (.)	Decimal placeholder. The decimal placeholder determines how many digits are displayed to the left and right of the decimal separator. The formatted string appears in the format correct for the browser's locale. If the format expression contains only # characters to the left of this symbol, then numbers smaller than 1 begin with a decimal separator. Use zero as the first digit placeholder to the left of the decimal separator to display a leading zero with fractional numbers. In some locales, a comma is used as the decimal separator. The actual character used as a decimal placeholder in the formatted output depends on the number format recognized by your system. Therefore, use the period as the decimal placeholder in your formats even if your browser's locale uses a comma as a decimal placeholder.
  (,)	Thousand separator. The thousand separator separates thousands from hundreds within a number that has four or more places to the left of the decimal separator. The formatted string appears in the format correct for the browser's locale. Standard use of the thousand separator is specified if the format contains a thousand separator surrounded by digit placeholders (0 or #). A thousand separator immediately to the left of the decimal separator (whether or not a decimal is specified), or as the rightmost character in the string, indicates scaling, that is, the number is scaled by dividing it by 1,000 and then rounding, as needed. For example, you can use the format string "##0,." to represent 100 million as 100,000. Numbers smaller than 1,000 but greater or equal to 500 are displayed as 1, and numbers smaller than 500 are displayed as 0. Two adjacent thousand separators in this position scale by a factor of 1 million, and an additional factor of 1,000 for each additional separator. Multiple separators in any position other than immediately to the left of the decimal separator or the rightmost position in the string are treated simply as specifying the use of a thousand separator. In some locales, a period is used as a thousand separator. The actual character used as the thousand separator in the formatted output depends on the number format recognized by your browser's locale. Therefore, use the comma as the thousand separator in your formats even if your browser's locale uses a period as a thousand separator.
  (E e)	Scientific format. If the format expression contains at least one digit placeholder (0 or #) to the left of E, or e the number is displayed in scientific format and E or e is inserted between the number and its exponent. The number of digit placeholders to the left determines the number of digits in the exponent. You must also include digit placeholders to the right of this symbol to get correct formatting.
  -+$()	Literal characters. These characters are displayed exactly as typed in the format string. To display a character other than one of those listed, precede it with a backslash (\) or enclose it in double quotation marks (" ").
  (\)	Displays the next character in the format string. To display a character that has special meaning as a literal character, precede it with a backslash (\). The backslash itself is not displayed. Using a backslash is the same as enclosing the next character in double quotation marks. To display a backslash, use two backslashes (\\). Examples of characters that cannot be displayed as literal characters are the date-formatting and time-formatting characters (a, c, d, h, m, n, p, q, s, t, w, y, /, and :), the numeric-formatting characters (#, 0, %, E, e, comma, and period), and the string-formatting characters (@, &, <, >, and !).
  ("ABC")	Displays the string inside the double quotation marks (" "). To include a string in the style argument from within code, you must use Chr(34) to enclose the text (34 is the character code for a quotation mark (")).

  The following table contains some example format expressions for numbers. These examples all assume that your browser's locale setting is English-U.S. The first column contains the format strings for the Style argument of the Format function; the other columns contain the resulting output if the formatted data has the value given in the column headings.

  Format (Style)	"5" formatted as	"-5" formatted as	"0.5" formatted as	"0.511" formatted as
  Zero-length string ("")	5	-5	0.5	0.511

  Date-time display mask characters acceptable by CCLAS

  Character	Description
  (:)	Time separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the time separator. The time separator separates hours, minutes, and seconds when time values are formatted. The actual character used as the time separator in formatted output is determined by your browser's locale.
  (/)	Date separator. In some locales, other characters may be used to represent the date separator. The date separator separates the day, month, and year when date values are formatted. The actual character used as the date separator in formatted output is determined by your browser's locale.
  d	Displays the day as a number without a leading zero, for example, 1.
  dd	Displays the day as a number with a leading zero, for example, 01.
  ddd	Displays the day as an abbreviation, for example, Sun.
  dddd	Displays the day as a full name, for example, Sunday.

  MM	Displays the month as a number with a leading zero, for example, 01/12/01.
  MMM	Displays the month as an abbreviation, for example, Jan.
  MMMM	Displays the month as a full month name, for example, January.
  gg	Displays the period/era string, for example, A.D.
  h	Displays the hour as a number without leading zeros using the 12-hour clock, for example, 1:15:15 PM.
  hh	Displays the hour as a number with leading zeros using the 12-hour clock, for example, 01:15:15 PM.
  H	Displays the hour as a number without leading zeros using the 24-hour clock, for example, 1:15:15.

  s	Displays the second as a number without leading zeros, for example, 12:15:5.
  ss	Displays the second as a number with leading zeros, for example, 12:15:05.
  f	Displays fractions of seconds. For example ff displays hundredths of seconds, whereas ffff displays ten-thousandths of seconds. You may use up to seven f symbols in your user-defined format.
  T	Uses the 12-hour clock to display an uppercase A for any hour before noon and an uppercase P for any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M.
  TT	Uses the 12-hour clock to display an uppercase AM with any hour before noon and an uppercase PM for any hour between noon and 11:59 P.M.
  y	Displays the year number (0-9) without leading zeros.
  yy	Displays the year in two-digit numeric format with a leading zero, if applicable.
