* [#resource-materials](#resource-materials "mention")
* [#custom-fields](#custom-fields "mention")
* [#disclaimers](#disclaimers "mention")

If there are any configuration errors, a red dot appears on the Configuration tab and the section that requires attention.

### Resource Materials

In LabLink, there are two types of resource materials:

* Sample submission templates
* Supplementary documents

The administrator can manage these resource materials to assist end users of the lab during the sample submission process. LabLink allows the admin to upload up to 20 resource materials.

To add new templates or documents, a LabLink administrator can use the following steps:

1. Select **Create**.
2. Provide a name and description for the document.
3. Select the resource type.
4. Upload the resource file.

By selecting the resource type, the document is added to the appropriate location on the Resource Material tab.

### Custom Fields

The Custom Fields section of the Configuration tab displays all custom fields that have been configured in Clarity LIMS for projects and submitted samples.

A LabLink administrator can choose to display custom fields by selecting the checkbox next to the custom field.

* The project custom fields display during the sample submission process.
* The sample custom fields display on the Samples tab.
* The client custom fields display during the create new user and request a new user ID processes.

### Disclaimers

The Disclaimer section allows the LabLink administrator to manage the disclaimers that display for the following processes:

* Requesting a new user ID
* Creating a project for sample submission

Select **Edit** to modify the disclaimer text. The character limit is 4096 for each disclaimer.

### Contact Us

The Contact Us section allows the LabLink administrator to manage the contact us information that displays for the end users of the lab. Select **Edit** to modify the contact us information.
