Elements

Execute Configuration Manager | Metadata | Sample Tracker Metadata and select the Elements option to setup the elements used by Sample Tracker.

To add an element, select New | Elements from the ribbon menu, or click the Add button on the local toolbar.

You can also use the tools on the local toolbar to manage the items in the grid:

	Add a new item to the list.
	Properties: view or edit the item currently selected in the list.
	Delete the item currently selected in the list.

When you add, edit, or remove metadata items, you can click the Refresh button on the ribbon to commit those changes to the underlying database and refresh the Metadata view to show the changes you have made.

Element definitions and groups are maintained by a system administrator. Elements are combined with lab methods and then written to a Despatch Preparation record.
