Sample Scheduler for OpenLab Configuration

The Sample Scheduler System Configuration contains several functions that you can access via the ribbon.

In the Home ribbon tab, you show or hide the different windows. By default, they are shown in tabs:

• System Configuration: to configure Client, Commands and E-mail server parameters.

• Commands: to set the mandatory parameters to be defined in the command generated by the LIMS and the parameters that must be defined in each entry of the Auto-Fills table (if any): the Auto-fill triggers.

• LIMS: to configure one or multiple LIMS connections. This tab also allows to configure LIMS database queries to gather directly the analysis orders in the LIMS database.

• Deployment: to display the list of Sample Scheduler services and processes. This list allows the Sample Scheduler administrator to know in real time which Sample Scheduler services (Sample Scheduler LIMS agent and Sample Scheduler agents) and Sample Scheduler acquisition agents processes are running, on which computer and their state. The administrator can also stop and start the services from this screen.

• Instrument Groups: to configure alternative (backup) instruments for the same type of analysis.
