tube.tracker® has the ability to customize certain settings for your institution. In addition to unique instituion options, you can also specify default settings for new user accounts. This allows an administrator to quickly add a new user account and then, if that account deserves special consideration, to modify them later.
  1. Click Users under the Maintenance heading in the left-hand menu.
    Mange users menu

  2. This will display the manage users screen.
    Manage user accounts main screen

  3. Click linked text at the top of the page that reads Default options for your institution and new users. This link will take you to the institution and default user options screen.
    Institutions options screen

  4. The following is a descriptions of each of the available settings:
    1. Default user options
      • Default Container: The container that is automatically selected when creating a new rack.
      • Default Rack Type: The rack type that is automatically selected when creating a new rack.
      • Default Expire Date: The expire date in number of days of new racks.
      • Show expired racks by default: Determines the default rack view when entering the Manage Rack area.
      • Force container selection: Forces a user to manually select a destination container no matter what is stored in the default container setting.
      • Use container capacity: Enables container capacity checking when creating new racks.
      • Force open rack notes: When enabled, this setting will force open the notes area when adding new racks.
      • Force open specimen notes: When enabled, this setting will force open the notes area when adding new specimens.
      • Can view options screen: This setting determines whether or not this user account can access their options screen.
      • Show Missing Specimens On Home: This setting determines whether or not the Missing Specimens section will be displayed on the user's welcome screen. Note: By default, all newly created Single Container users have this option enabled, no matter what this option is set to. To disable this section from being displayed on that user's welcome screen, edit their account information after the account has been created.
    2. Institution options
      • Time Zone: The current time zone associated with the institution. Changing this setting will affect the dates displayed within tube.tracker, adjusting for time zone differences.

      • Renew rack on spec enter: This setting will enable the automatic rack renewal feature of tube.tracker®. If this setting is enabled, entering a new specimen into an existing rack will automatically renew the rack. The number of days used to renew the rack is taken from the Expire Time value of the container in which the rack resides.
