Browse samples by template feature
The feature browse samples by template feature is not present in data hub-dev instance (main). It seems there is no GUI to reach the feature anymore, since the old "Browse samples by ST" has been replaced by a new way to "Browse samples" (commit).
Possible solution: from header menu Browse --> add the option "Samples by template" that leads to https://datahub-test.elixir-belgium.org/samples/query_form.
Better solution is: add a button ("Query by template") on the samples index page, like the "Filter and export" button on the publications index.
Query by template --> Query samples
The choice of "query" is based on the following definitions
- A query is a formal request for information, often involving specific criteria or conditions.
- A filter is a way to narrow down data by applying specific criteria to exclude certain items.
- Browsing is a casual exploration of available content without a specific goal.
- Searching is actively looking for specific information within a dataset using search terms or criteria.
In Browse --> Samples view, Sample types created starting from templates (therefore, created via SP) should not be listed for filtering. These sample types are already hidden from default view when Browsing sample types.
The quick fix was to add an extra button on the samples index page to redirects this to the Sample Query page and treat the filtering as a separate issue. A new issue for the filtering is made here: Issue 1576
