Setting Up LabManager
Prepare by Organizing The Lab
LabManager keeps track of where items are in the laboratory. To do this, you will need to name each storage area. We suggest that you name all benches (Bench 1, Bench 2... or be more creative). Name all storage rooms and cabinets. Finally, name each refrigerator and freezer. There is no need to name individual drawers, shelves, racks or boxes. You will be directed on how to enter these names into LabManager later, but for now, just name each of them. In beta-testing we found that this works best when a physical tag of sticker with the name is placed on each location.
You do not need a full inventory for the lab, LabManager will create one as it is used. If you do have inventories LabManager can import them from an Excel format.
Starting LabManager For the First Time
This should be done by the laboratory manager or head technician. You will be asked to enter a name and password. Use name: "Manager" and Password "Manager". Your name will always be Manager as this confers special access. You will be able to change the password.
