NAb new study folder missing specimen tab ehands  2021-10-05 09:38

Hi there,

I am trying to create a new protocol study for HVTN Nab Montefiori lab, and when creating a 'Study' sub-folder in the Montefiori Approved Runs folder, I am no longer seeing the option to select 'Repository Type: Standard Specimen Repository'. As a result, when I go in afterwards to upload specimens to this study folder, there is no Specimen tab available to do this. Please let me know how this can be resolved,

Thanks,
Ellie

Hi Ellie,

You likely need to enable the Specimen module in your new subfolder via the Folder Management option. Assuming you're a folder administrator you can follow the steps near the top of this page: https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=specimensHome

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the quick response. I do have Page Admin permissions, but enabling the Specimen module as in the steps provided does not seem to be working still. I've tried creating a new folder after enabling the Specimen module and it still does not provide the Repository Type options in the folder creation process. When I reload the page or logout and then log back in, it seems like some of the time the Specimen module reverts to being unchecked and turned off. I'm not sure if it's malfunctioning?

Thanks,
Ellie

The Repository Type options are no longer available at study creation time, but they can be set via the "Manage Study" administration page. Once the module is enabled all the specimen repository admin options should appear on that page.

I'm puzzled by your comment about the Specimen module disabling itself. If this continues to be a problem (or you're still having problems getting your specimen repository configured) then I think we should schedule a screen sharing session to investigate.

Thanks,
Adam
