Issue
Are we able to make a template for Sample names in the In Vivo Benchling application?
Environment
In Vivo
Cause
Benchling Core has a Naming Template function, while Benchling In Vivo does not.
Resolution steps
Workaround:
Currently, it's not possible to set naming templates directly in Benchling In Vivo. Naming templates can be set in Benchling Core so that when samples are imported from In Vivo to Benchling Core, the names are updated in Benchling Core according to the naming template, but this does not affect the sample IDs displayed in In Vivo.
If you'd like your sample IDs to follow a certain naming convention in the In Vivo application, these IDs will need to be assigned manually. If you're creating samples individually, you can do this at the time of sample creation. If you're creating samples in bulk, you can rename samples in the In Vivo application by using Bulk Update.
