Laboratory work is complex. In addition to experimental processes, tasks, resources, documents, and communication must be coordinated. This is often done using several separate tools, which can lead to disjointed workflows and loss of information.
BioARCHIVE integrates organizational functions directly into the work environment.
Personal Task Management
Users can create personalized to-do lists, set priorities, and systematically track tasks.
Central Communications
An internal bulletin board allows for the posting of general information for employees or workgroups.
Resource Planning
A central calendar can be used to manage shared resources, such as:
- Laboratory workstations
- Devices
- Meeting rooms
Tasks linked to documentation
Tasks can be linked directly to data records or documentation. This ensures that work steps remain traceable and that quality processes are documented.
Document Organization by Laboratory
Each lab has its own document sections. In addition, documents can be shared with other labs on a case-by-case basis, such as for joint projects.
Administrative overviews and deadline tracking
Administrative data—such as device inventories—can be managed centrally. Due dates can be analyzed using reports, which aids in planning.
Summary
Task management in BioARCHIVE directly links organizational workflows with research data and documentation. This creates an integrated workflow that promotes transparency, streamlines processes, and ensures quality.
