Quick add templates

Quick add templates are predefined specimen entry scenarios (typically for specific study visits) that can be used to automatically create some default specimens.

Templates are best used for specific study visits to create the expected specimen collections for the visit. They can also be used to complete other information, such as the ID2 and project that would be the same whenever the template is applied.

There are two types of templates: templates created by Frontier Science and templates that are created by your laboratory. Templates created by Frontier Science are designed in collaboration with leadership for projects and cannot be modified by users. Templates created by users at your laboratory can be modified. User-created templates are only available at the laboratory where they were created; they are not shipped or sharable with other laboratories.

Regardless of the type, once a template is applied, you will be prevented from changing the participant’s project (meaning you can’t apply a template intended for one project, and then change the project, effectively using the template for a project for which it wasn’t intended). In addition, when you apply a template, any information that you already entered on the Quick Add screen will be cleared. This means that the template must be applied first, before you enter any other information.
