Sample Types may be found by navigating to: 

Admin 🡪 Preferences 🡪 Samples types



Use these fields to manage the sample type’s definition that you will use to categorize sample records. To create a new sample type: type the name in the box to the right of the symbol and click on the Update & Save button. The addition of new sample types is limited to administrator users through this menu.

Existing sample types may be removed only if they do not appear in any records. Click the bin icon to remove the sample type.

Existing sample types may be renamed. To rename an existing sample type click the desired sample type and edit the name. The change will take effect after clicking the Update & Save button.

The change in sample type name will be applied to all existing records.

During record addition and record modification in the modules Samples, the super-administrator, administrators and Staff+ users can also add sample type using the popup Quick Add Sample Type.
