Complete the form The user reviews the form, all samples on one page, and edit or add data that Metrc does not provide, most importantly which Analyses to carry out. Much of it is obtained directly from the lab Client, e.g. Client Contact CC Emails - for additional COA recipients not configured Analyses or Profiles requested Specification to use Image Remarks The user presses [Save] when everything is in order. If configured, the LIMS initiates the Samples' label printing with inhouse IDs. The Samples enter the standard workflow. Big TransfersFor big transfers, the system will repetitively present the user with the Sample registration form, configurable but say 5 samples at a time until all are imported Metrc BatchesThe user is returned to the Batch's Sample list where the new Samples are listed in the start state configured for the LIMS Batches are listed with their Manifest IDs and a link to the downloaded Metrc file that was imported to it These Batches' titles include the transfer manifest ID, e.g. Metrc Import 6781588 for Manifest ID 6781588
