Using the Specimen Management page
The Specimen Management page shows all of the visits for a specific participant and protocol combination.
Important:
The labels for certain buttons and menus in LDMS vary based on the project.
For one participant, for example, the unique participant identifier (ID) may be called “PID”; for another project it may be “PanelID”.
The main work area of the Specimen Management page will display the all the visits and associated specimens for a participant. Use the navigation buttons to change between different participants.
