Tutorial: Specimen Request Administration ]
Administrators set up and populate the specimen repository and configure other options and tools to best fit the needs of other repository users. There is no specimen specific administration role; any folder administrator can complete these tasks.
Import Specimen Data
LabKey Server supports two types of repository and two methods for bringing specimen data into a LabKey study:
The simplest method is to use a
Standard Specimen Repository and paste data from a specimen spreadsheet.
An
Advanced Specimen Repository allows you to upload and import a
specimen archive, and then manage the transfer of specimens between labs.
Customize Specimen Properties
Customize the Specimen UI
Administer a Specimen Archive
These features and options are applicable to Advanced Specimen Repositories.
