Defining Seed lot types and attributes

A seedlot type is a category of seeds material with common descriptors. It is one of the descriptors of a Seedlot.

Seedlot type can be managed in the menu Admin > Lot > Lot type.

Seedlot administration menu

It is defined by the fields described in the table bellow. Fields in bold are required while italic ones are optional when submitting the form. Seedlot types can be edited from the table below the form.

Field name	Description
Name	The name of this seedlot type (for instance : Hybrid)
Description	A text describing this seedlot type

Seedlots are described regarding a set of fixed attributes (see below), common to all seedlot types. Thaliadb makes possible to add specific attributes to each seedlot type. Attributes can be managed in the menu ‘Attributes’ in the left navigation toolbar. An attribute is defined by the fields described in the table bellow. Fields in bold are required while italic ones are optional when submitting the form. Attributes can be edited from the table below the form.

Field name	Description
Name	The name of this attribute
Type	A type defining the nature of the information to choose between : Short text, Long text, Number, URL The type will have consequences on the look of the widget in seedlot form
Description	A short description for this attribute

As soon as your attributes are defined you can add them as additional descriptors in seedlot type. Adding attributes to a seedlot type will enrich the fields available when you create a new seedlot of this type. To do so, go back to the Seedlot type table and edit one of them. A new tab ‘Attributes’ will appear in the edition form.

In this interface, you can add attributes to the current seedlot type (1). By default, this attribute will be added at the last position. You can change this order by drag’n drop, as soon as you’re fine with your attributes order you can click on the ‘Save order’ button (2). This order that you defined will be respected in the Seedlot form and when you will export seedlot data from thaliadb.
