labkey.provenance.addRecordingStep {Rlabkey}

Add a step to a provenance recording

Description

Function to add a step to a previously created provenance recording session. Note: this function is in beta and not yet final, changes should be expected so exercise caution when using it.

Usage

labkey.provenance.addRecordingStep(baseUrl=NULL, folderPath, provenanceParams = NULL)

Arguments

baseUrl

a string specifying the baseUrl for the labkey server

folderPath

a string specifying the folderPath

provenanceParams

the provenance parameter object which contains the options to include in this recording step

Details

Function to add a step to a previously created provenance recording. The recording ID that was obtained from a previous startRecording function call must be passed into the provenanceParams config. This is a premium feature and requires the Provenance LabKey module to function correctly.

Value

The generated recording ID which can be used in subsequent steps (or queries that support provenance).
