Order of Configuration
The configuration items are not necessarily discussed in the best sequence for setting the LIMS up, e.g. to correctly configure the Analysis Services the lab offers, you'll need the Lab departments, Methods, Instruments, Calculations, etc. to be populated first. This page tables the order in which to structure the systematic configuration
Accessing the Configuration pages
Navigate as labmanager to the Setup from the 'cog', or 'gear' icon at the top right of all screens
All Setup tables can be accessed from the tiled page that opens:
