Purpose
A Condition can be used in Alchemy to describe the circumstances under which something is measured. This guide outlines how to create a new Condition record and apply it to the system. For more information regarding Condition records, see our ELN + LIMS User Manual.
Note: Only users with the appropriate privileges can create a Condition record. Contact your system administrator for more information.
Instructions
1. Click the + New button in the blue system navigation panel and select Condition from the list.
2. A Condition record displays in a pop-up window.
3. Enter a unique Condition Name in the field and select a Value Type from the dropdown list. Value types include:
- Number
- Text (Alphanumeric)
- Date and Time
- Attachment
- Checkbox
- User
- Link
- Record Reference
4. Additional required fields may appear depending on the Value Type selected. Complete all required fields.
