Each sample stored in the system has a sample owner, who must be an active user in the group. The owner of a sample can be changed. Navigate to the sample information sheet and click Change Owner.
eLabTip: Users can change the owner of multiple samples at once. Select multiple samples using the tick boxes from within the Sample List or Inventory Browser before clicking the Change Owner button.
In the pop-up window, users can select the sample's new owner from the Owner dropdown and click Save to confirm.
Once a sample has been transferred to the new sample owner, the new owner can modify it as long as they have permission to view or update their own samples in the system.
Note: the person which originally created the sample remains listed in the system as the original creator, which is indicated on the sample information sheet.
