Revamp the concept of a panel

Currently, the Panel model is tied to a Site, and is used for mapping a specific combination of FCS file channel names (via PnN field) to a ReFlow Parameter, i.e. cataloguing the Sample. However, this is not an intuitive or natural way to model the practical use of the the panel concept used in Flow Cytometry.

In a flow project, a panel would be designed to include a specific subset of parameters (and value types), e.g. "4 Color", and different labs may include extra channels (like all 3 value types). To model this, we need Project-level panels from which Site-level panels are based.

• new ProjectPanel model

  • has no FCS text fields (isn't used for validating FCS channels)

  • requires a ProjectPanelParameterMap table

  • project panel name is required and unique for a project

  • add FK field for Staining (Staining table doesn't exist yet)

  • create a self-referential FK field for parent panel (like FMO -> FullStain)

  • implement restrictions for when a parent panel is required (FMO, Isotype Control)

  • create a FK in Sample linking the FCS file to a specific ProjectPanel

    Requires updating all existing Sample instance with a FK to ProjectPanel
    

  • if any Sample exists with a FK to ProjectPanel, the ProjectPanel cannot be modified

• new ProjectPanelParameterMap model

  • field: project (FK to Project)

  • field: parameter (FK to Parameter)

  • field: value_type (optional FK to ParameterValueType)

    if not specified don't restrict SitePanel value_type field
    

• new Staining table
  • simple lookup table used in the ProjectPanel
• current SampleGroup table

  • rename to Stimulation (south can't auto-rename models)

  • move to Project level, i.e. add Project FK field

  • affects Sample model:

    replace SampleGroup FK field with new Stimulation FK field
    
    keep Stimulation field optional???
    

• current Panel
  • rename to SitePanel or something
  • add FCS optional text field (PnS), and use to match samples
  • add FK to project panel,
  • require the minimal subset of the project panel
  • site panel name is required and unique

Process Manager app

WIP...will update after the project panel's are working

Other

• Change sample list web view to use an AJAX query like the sample set creation form
  • remove the sample list web views under the Site and Subject
