Display "Assay Measurement Type" and "Assay Technology Type" information #1827

Open sellth opened 10 months ago

sellth commented 10 months ago

Problem

Study Assay Measurement Type and Study Assay Technology Type are mandatory ontology-qualified fields in all ISA-tabs which hold information about the assay performed. SODAR currently uses these fields to choose an appropriate assay plugin, but doesn't display this information in any way.

Solution

Show these properties beneath or in context of each assay header, including hyperlinks to the ontology term sources.

For clarification, this assay header: image

I agree that this information should be easily visible to the user. I'll think about a nice way to present it in the UI. It could be just text, or we could e.g. replace the plugin link with a link to open a modal with measurement type, technology type AND plugin info. Maybe some other assay specific info could go there too.

I consider this a nice "low hanging fruit" feature we can implement in v1.0 before going forward with the full app rewrite, as rewriting this would be quick and trivial.
