Example of joining data sources through a user-defined lookup relationship. The "Lab Machines" list, a simple table, was used in Figure 6 to provide a defined vocabulary for populating the "Machine" batch field of the "GenericAssay." The "Machine" batch field was defined as a lookup to the "Lab Machines" list. The existence of this lookup relationship allows us to join machine information into grid views of assay run data. Here, as circled in red, the relevant machine's "Contact Person" is joined into a grid view of assay results.
