Searching the manual
LIMS is complex and can be overwhelming, don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. Your feedback is valuable to Bika developers. Well researched questions, showing that you tried and are not a spoon feeder, attra ct good replies on the Bika forums, Slack chat, online user forum the Bika Corral, and Issue Tracker. There are very good guidelines to do effective bug reports. Meaningless 'It is broken' posts get nobody nowhere Easiest to find answers is to 
search the manual or BikaLIMS.org (or the world wide web) You can restrict your search to the manual by enabling 'Search this section only' from the manual front page Plone Live Search will pop up best hits If you need to continue deeper, press Search and a page with search results will load from where the search can be refined further, e.g. excluding everything but (manual) pages

Screenshots How to use Capture in the Bika tracker Manual user is authorisedManual examples assume users are logged-on and authorised for the actions explained Common acronymsAn - One Analysis, or many Analyses AP - Analysis Profile AR - Analysis Request. Earlier versions of Bika used ARs, Analysis Requests, to differentiate between separate analysis requests per sample as is often the case in clinical and geology labs where samples are stored indefinitely and reanalysed from time to time
This terminology caused confusions in labs where Samples are Samples are Samples. Since Bika Senaite 1.3, Sample is being used for Analysis Requests too. Secondary ARs are simply called Secondary Samples, and the initial, Primary Sample, when it becomes necessary to differentiate like before
