LabOrderID | BioData System-generated Integer assigned as an identifier for a Lab Order. A Lab Order is comprised of the one or more containers that are processed according to requested procedures. | |||||
SIDNO | Sample ID Number (SIDNO) is a unique and immutable sample identifier that is automatically created by the system. A prefix of BDB designates BioData as the source of the identifier. | |||||
ProjectID | System-generated, unique, immutable, non-editable code that uniquely identifies a project within the BioData system | |||||
ProjectLabel | ProjectLabel is a short, unique name associated with and identifying a specific BioData Project.The BioData Project is the atomic unit to handle data permissions, allow access to samples, assist in enforcement of business rules, and for documentation, management and monitoring of data collection activities. All Field Samples, Study Reaches, and Lab Orders in BioData belong to a Project. | |||||
