‘OneTime configuration tools’ provided with the Matrix Gemini LIMS not only allow the system to be configured without the use of custom programming, but also provide an audit trail each time a display screen is updated or modified.
If a screen is being altered, no one else can modify it until it goes live again. Each version is saved with a version number so the audit trail allows the possibility of returning to an earlier version if required.
An intuitive visual workflow screen editor shows the screen in edit mode along with all the options and control properties associated with that screen.
Screens can be linked together and information transferred between them without any programming. New screens can be created by copying and modifying existing screens from the screen library.
In addition, the screen and menu files can be e-mailed between the user and the Matrix support group at Autoscribe if required, allowing experts to review any proposed changes and provide advice on the implementation.
Proposed changes can be developed in a training/development database and once approved can be copied into the live database for immediate use.
Matrix Gemini can seamlessly migrate existing LIMS desktop applications developed in previous versions of Matrix to become web enabled.
This ensures that any screen configured for use on the desktop is immediately available, with appropriate security, to a user running a web browser, without the need for programming, java or esoteric scripting languages.
