Note: Currently the Lab Picker is disabled within Insight. It will be a feature in a future release.
The Lab Management page is used to add and view Labs as entered into the Insight system. Labs can be added and configured so that a group of PI’s are associated with a lab, which can then be used to narrow search results across the Agreements, Personnel and Purchasing pages within Insight using the “Lab Picker”.
On this page the System Administrator can search for any lab in the Insight database by various search criteria. To find a lab, enter search criteria and click the ‘Search’ button. The results are returned in the grid below the search criteria. Click on the lab name to bring up the lab information.
