REPORT FORMAT

The LIMS database contains samples/data for IODP expeditions beginning in 2009 (Expeditions 317 and beyond) and any new samples/data generated from legacy expeditions (DSDP/ODP Legs 1-210 and IODP Phase 1 Expeditions 301-312).

LIMS Reports provides two ways to view the data:

  1. Standard reports present the most important data for a particular analysis in a format that is ready to use for data review, research, and publications. The report output can be viewed in a browser or downloaded as a file. 
  2. Expanded reports present all the data for a particular analysis. In cases where a standard report presents data from multiple analyses, the expanded reports comprise a set of all the individual analyses (e.g., chemistry). 

The Standard LIMS Report format offers the following general data reporting columns. Columns are defined in About this report and are illustrated with examples:

  • Expedition, Site, Hole, Core, Core Type, Section, Section Half. Active fields vary across reports.
  • Offset: position where the observation was made. Point measurements are reported with a single offset, whereas interval measurements are reported with top and bottom offsets.
  • Depth: position where the observation was made, measured from the top of the hole. Point measurements are reported with a single depth, whereas interval measurements are reported with top and bottom depths.
  • Depth [other]: depth reported in an alternate depth scale specified by the user.
  • Measurement (with unit) and/or image/data file (with format). Multiple columns displayed.
  • Timestamp: point in time at which the measurement was made or uploaded to LIMS (always reported in UTC).
  • Instrument: sensing device used to take the observation, and Instrument group: data collection device.
  • Text ID: automatically generated unique database identifier for a sample, visible on printed labels.
  • Test No: Unique number associated with the instrument measurement steps that produced these data.
  • Comments: observer’s notes about a measurement, the sample, or the measurement process.


The Expanded LIMS Report format differs depending on the database components that make up each report.
