Administrators set up and populate the specimen repository and configure the available options and tools to best fit the needs of other specimen 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 requests and 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.
