Administration Overview

The “Administration” task enables users to personalize myLab to best meet the needs of your organization. If you do not have an Administration icon in your “Tasks” drop down or in your Account tab, you do not have permissions to access this element. For each myLab site there is one Master User that always has this permission, and they can assign it to additional users.

If you have been assigned the Administrator role, you will have full access to manage all aspects of the myLab application including:

• Users – add, delete, modify settings for each user in your organization
• Shared Logins – create a generic login for groups of people who can view the same information
• Roles – myLab has pre-loaded roles within the system with different access levels (e.g. Administrator, Analyze Results, View Only)
• Global Options – here you can set options for sample registration, maintenance scheduling, reports, equipment, API, and the mobile app.
• Drop Lists – customize drop down lists including components, sample locations, unit types and more.
• Custom Fields – add custom fields to the Customer, Unit, Component, Sample or Maintenance records.
• Hide/Require Fields – set fields to be hidden or required in the Customer, Unit, Component, Sample, and Maintenance records.
