​
Samples table

The table shows one row per sample. Columns: Click any column header to sort. Use the search box to filter by name or description. Page size can be set to 25, 50, or 100 per page.

​
Adding a sample manually

Click Add sample to open the create dialog.
New sample dialog with name field, description, and property value inputs

​
Fields

​
Continuous values

Enter a number. Decimals use a dot (e.g., 12.5). Anything not parseable as a number is rejected with: “Value '' is not a valid number for continuous property ''.”

​
Categorical values

Select a category from the dropdown. The dropdown shows the categories you defined for that property, plus a “not set” placeholder.
You can create a sample with no property values. This is useful for samples you’ve only just measured and haven’t analyzed yet. You can fill values in later by editing the sample or via CSV import.

​
Editing a sample

Click the pencil icon on a sample row. You can change the name, description, and any property values.
Editing a sample’s property values via the dialog replaces all of them. If you only want to update one value, make sure all the others are still filled in (or use CSV import for bulk updates).

​
Deleting a sample

Click the trash icon on a sample row.
Delete sample confirmation dialog with type-to-confirm field
A confirmation dialog appears. Type the sample name to confirm.
Deleting a sample also deletes:
  • All its property values (targets)
  • All spectra linked to it This cannot be undone.

​
Bulk delete

Select multiple samples using the checkboxes on the left. A toolbar appears at the bottom with the count and a Delete button.
Selection toolbar showing selected sample count and delete button
Click Delete. A confirmation dialog asks you to type all selected sample names separated by commas before deleting. This prevents accidental mass deletion.

​
Plan limits

Your plan limits how many samples you can have per project. The current count and limit are shown at the top of the page. The Add sample and Import CSV buttons are disabled when you’ve reached the limit.

​
Common errors

Sample names are unique within a project. Use a different name or update the existing sample.
The value you entered cannot be parsed as a number. Check for typos, units mixed with the value, or commas instead of dots for decimals.
The value doesn’t match any of the categories defined for this property. Categorical values are case-sensitive and must match exactly.
