1. Getting started with LabCollector ListMaker

When you first install LabCollector ListMaker you need to do some configuration. On the top left corner of the home page, you can find the menu bar and follow one simple step under Settings.

A. Configure email:

2. Enter the name of your template.
3. Click on “Confirm” to save and create the template.
