Sample Scheduler user privileges configuration

Configure the Sample Scheduler user privileges in the Control Panel.

The privileges described in the following can be associated with different roles in the Control Panel. The following roles are available:

  • Sample Scheduler Administrator: The privileges associated with this role allow you to configure the Sample Scheduler. For example, you can define default settings and mandatory commands, establish the LIMS connection (LIMS Commands folder or SQL statements), monitor notifications, and create Auto-fill templates.

  • Sample Scheduler Analyst: The privileges associated with this role allow you to manage the entire laboratory workload as you have insight into the workload of all instruments and their users. You can review the results in the CDS for reprocessing.

  • Sample Scheduler Technician: The privileges associated with this role allow you to manage the instruments and determine the analysis workflow (for example, you can create, change, delete, reset or restart analyses and sequences, set their priority, merge single or split dual analyses, and correct instrument errors). You have access to the data in the CDS.

  • Sample Scheduler Operator: The privileges associated with this role allow you to prepare analyses/sequences, determine the vial position, select the instrument and stop it in case of failure. With this role and this area of responsibility, you can work exclusively in the web interface.

The administrator of the OpenLab system can edit these roles or create new ones and assign them to the different Sample Scheduler users.
