Understanding LIMS ID Prefixes

Some of the more common LIMS ID prefixes are listed in the following table.
1 | Address |
---|---|
NOTE: QC steps do not have a special LIMS ID prefix.
In addition, there are also some esoteric and deprecated LIMS ID prefixes. The complete list of prefixes can be found in the classindex database table.
Assuming you have a started a step, your browser address will look something like this:
https://demo.claritylims.com/clarity/work-placement/ 21816
The important piece is the suffix - 21816.
To convert to a step URI:
Note the type of step you are running. Is it a Standard step, an Indexing (Add Labels) step, or a Pooling step?
Add the corresponding hyphenated prefix using the previous list, to construct the step ID. For example, if it is an Indexing step, 21816 becomes 151-21816.
Build the step URI: https://hostname/api/version/steps/151-21816.
To perform the reverse action and find a step in the web interface for a given a step URI (or a process URI):
Get the step ID. Using the example above, the step ID would be 151-21816.
Strip out the hyphenated prefix to give: '21816'.
Build the web address: https://hostname/clarity/work/21816.
Clarity LIMS will translate the word 'work' to the correct address for the screen the step is currently on. For example, if the step is completed, 'work' will become 'work-complete'.
