Hello,

Please let me know how I can customize the fields of "study.specimendetail".

We have our own excel specimen files that have been used for a long time and would like to be continued to be used in Labkey.

Is there a way to customize the fields of "study.specimendetail"?

Thanks,
Marcia

Hi Marcia,

You can edit and add additional fields by editing the specimen properties:

https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=specimenCustomProperties#edit

However, there are some fields that cannot be edited though, so you may still need to edit some of your datafields from your Excel spreadsheet before the file gets imported into the Specimen Repository.

Regards,

Jon

Hello,

I made the changes by adding columns to the Specimens Property - Specimens.

However, when I try to import the Specimens data, these new columns are not captured.

I need for these columns to be captured as these are in the current excel/workflow.

Please let me know how I could add/remove/modify the columns for Specimens such that I am able to import the data.

Thanks,
Marcia
