By default, mLIMS will track the number of animals in a protocol at the cage level; protocols are assigned to cages and the animals in the cage are all assigned the protocol. You may change this to animal level, in which the protocols are assigned to individual animals. The modules do not interchange; it is best to make your choice before beginning protocol assignment. If you do change from cage to animal level or vice versa, please contact us to assist you with changing the protocol assignment.
Choose Yes to make protocol a required field when adding animals or cages - if a user forgets to assign the protocol, mLIMS will prompt you to assign it before saving.
Add up to 25 custom fields of any type to your animal module. If the field already exists in mLIMS, your custom field will appear with a (1). Keep in mind that fields may exist elsewhere in mLIMS, which integrates fields from all modules. Click here for the full list of existing data fields in mLIMS.
