Field Preparation

Execute Configuration Manager | Metadata | Sample Tracker Metadata and select the Field Preparation option to setup the field preparations used by Sample Tracker.

To add a field preparation, select New | Field Preparation 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.

Field Preparation codes are predefined by a system administrator. The Field Preparation details you specify are written to a Despatch Preparation record.
