Specimens Overview for a participant
For biobanks which do not collect specimens under longitudinal studies, visits information might not be vital. For such biobanks, it is useful to view summary of all specimens of a participant irrespective of visits. From v5.0, OpenSpecimen displays all the specimens of a participant across all visits under ‘Specimens’ tab of participants overview page. This helps to get a summary of specimens under one view. Dashlets(counts and graphs) can be configured to be displayed on this page. Users can also see the hierarchical tree of all specimens along with the children on the left side.
