Add a lab to a study

You can associate a local laboratory with your site. This allows you to associate lab normals with commonly used laboratories and quickly select these labs when adding subject test data. You can add and edit local laboratories at any time, without creating a new version of a study.

Note:

To complete this task, a global user must first create a lab at your organization's level. For more information, see Create a vendor (lab).

To perform this task, you must be assigned the Create and Add Labs to a Site permission.

You create laboratories in the context of a site. Creating a lab in the context of the site automatically associates that lab with the respective site. You cannot create or assign a lab to a retired site. Moreover, you cannot remove a lab that is used for a site (whether the site is active or retired).

We recommend creating mock laboratories to use in Testing mode and actual laboratories to use in Production and Training modes.

1. Open the study settings.
2. Click the Sites & Labs tab.
3. Along the top, select a specific mode:
   • Production Sites

   • Training Sites
4. Locate the site that you want to create a lab for.
5. In the Labs column, click View Labs next to the site that you want to create a lab for.

   For more information, see Specify a primary address.
9. Click Create.
10. Click Close.

Along the top, click Assign/ Manage Labs, to either assign another lab to the site you're currently in, edit a selected lab, or remove it.
