Preset projects

Preset projects are projects that are built into LDMS that have special rules and requirements.

Preset projects and their requirements cannot be modified or removed by users. These projects and designed based on the needs of a specific project working with Frontier Science. An example of a preset project is ACTG/IMPAACT. Specimens created until this project have specific requirements, which are defined by ACTG and IMPAACT. These requirements are implemented in LDMS to accommodate the needs of the project.

The rules for preset projects fall into two categories:

• Validation rules that can be enforced by LDMS, such as requiring that ID1 be formatted a certain way
• Requirements that cannot be enforced by LDMS, such as requiring specimens to be entered within a certain period of time after they are received by your laboratory.
