Quick add

The quick add feature allow you to create all of the specimens from a participant visit at once, and is the preferred method for entering new visits in LDMS.

If you add specimens to a participant on the Specimen Management page, you would need to add each primary and set of aliquots individually. The quick add feature allows you to select or create a participant and enrollment, create a new visit, and enter all of the specimens collected at that visit from one screen. For new visits, this significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to enter a new visit in LDMS. You can even create templates for common visits to save more time.

Once a template has been used, any visits or specimens that were created are not associated with the template. This means that if the template is later changed or removed, visits that were entered using the template won’t be changed.
