Catalog: View and Process Request

Once the researcher has requested the specimens, the request managers will be notified via email. The request managers can reject or approve the request in full or partial.

  1. The request managers can see the 'Catalogs' card in the navigation menu.

  2. They can only see the catalogs on which they are request managers.

The Specimen Request Form has two default fields that cannot be removed or renamed.
The IRB ID field is optional and can be left blank, more details added below.
