This section describes the steps for removing projects, samples, workflows, protocols, steps, and other artifacts that were created during training but are not needed for production, from the system.
After initial user training, but before the lab starts to use Clarity LIMS in production, a database cleanup is recommended.
This process removes any projects, samples, workflows, protocols, steps, and other artifacts from the system that were created during training but are not needed for production.
Contact the Clarity LIMS Support team to schedule a time for this cleanup procedure.
In preparation for the clean-up, complete the following steps:
Delete all unwanted custom fields and master steps.
Set the status of all unwanted workflows to Archived. If there is an Archived workflow that you would like to keep, temporarily set its status to Active. Note the following:
Protocols that are part of an Archived workflow, or set of Archived workflows will be deleted.
Protocols that belong to an Active or Pending workflow, in addition to an Archived workflow, will not be deleted.
After these steps are completed, a Clarity LIMS Technical Support Analyst (TSA) helps to perform the cleanup procedure. This procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete.
