Add Specific Labels for Analyte Schemes

The activity Configure an Import Template describes the steps to set up AssayNet LIMS for importing result files, including how analytes in the file are matched to those defined in the application with names or codes. The analyte schemes are automatically populated in the import template based on the schemes configured in the package. . If none of the existing options for matching analyte schemes align with the instrument's result file format, you can create specific labels for each analyte to match their format in the instrument's output.

Note: If the naming is already consistent between the result file and AssayNet LIMS, there is no need to add an identification label. In such cases, configuring the Display and Options categories in the import template is sufficient.

Activity Steps

  1. On the Laboratory ribbon tab, click Import Templates.

    The Import Templates screen displays.

  2. To add specific labels for analyte schemes:

    1. Select the import template.

    2. Click Setup » Analyte Schemes.

      The Import Template Schemes screen displays.

    3. Select the analyte scheme and click the Edit Scheme icon.

      The Edit Import Template Scheme screen displays.

    4. Enter a Label that is identical or similar to the analyte scheme's identifier in the result file.

      Note: The label entered does not need to exactly match the result file. Certain characters, such as superscripts, are not allowed in the label field. For example, for chemical elements displayed in the result file as Cr⁶⁺, you can enter Cr as the label. Adding this identification label is only necessary if the analyte code or name in AssayNet LIMS differs from the result file's naming convention. Instead of modifying the analyte code or name across all analyte codes, a label can be added to serve as the identification.

      Note: You do not need to add the column for the analyte because this is configured in the Options category of the import template.

    5. To add identification labels for more analyte schemes, repeat steps 2 c-d.

    6. Click OK.
