The archiving function was previously referred to as "Delete samples"; nevertheless, the functionality has not changed.
--
To remove a sample from the inventory, users can archive it. Simply open the sample information sheet and click on the Archive button. Archived samples are not permentaly removed from the system, instead, they are transferred to the Sample Archive in accordance with GLP guidelines. In this way, empty tubes can be removed from the lab while keeping the link to sample information in the ELN intact.
Users can also archive multiple samples at once from the Inventory browser within the Inventory tab by ticking multiple samples from the list.
Note: Whenever users archive samples, a pop-up window may appear, prompting them to specify the reason for archiving the sample. Providing a reason for archiving samples is not enabled by default. Users may contact their group administrator to enable this functionality
