In this webinar recording, LabArchives representative Gloria Yarandi provides an overview of widget and form functionality. Forms and Widgets help you structure how data is recorded in your
notebook, making it easier to standardize entries across your lab and
collect data consistently over time.
Widgets are interactive, reusable entries you can
add to any notebook page — think calculators, checklists, SOPs, and
inventory trackers. LabArchives includes 24+ built-in options, and
UW–Madison users can build their own using the Widget Manager or browse
ready-to-use options in the Widget Library.
Forms take it a step further. Built with a simple
drag-and-drop tool, Forms let you collect structured data across
multiple notebook pages or team members — and export it all as a CSV for
downstream analysis.
