Name of the link logic

The link that you create in step 5 is very important as it will be the one that will connect to the LabCollector’s LSMRemote portal.
So to name it you need to know 2 things from the Lab which has LabCollector with LSM add-on and access to superadmin  user level.

1. Name in the config.ini

2. Requester ID in LSM

Be Careful note
When a lab has many requesters/clients the name in the config.ini will be a common one to which the requesters can link their ID.
For example if agilebio lab has 3 requesters with ID 1, 2 & 3, then the name in config.ini will be “agilebio” and the requesters will add their IDs individually to them.
Their links on acuity will be:
– https://agilebioreq1.as.me

– https://agilebioreq3.as.me
