Labeling

Labeling enables easy identification and differentiation of various samples. Labels associated with samples aid in data management and analysis. Clear labeling within a system promotes collaboration among you and your collaborators by providing a standardized way to reference and share samples. You can create and manage labeling options in the My Labels. This page provides an overview of the different types of labeling options and how to create and manage them.

Types of Labels​

There are three types of labels:

  • Private: Exclusive access for you.
  • Public: Shareable before publication, Visible to all users.
  • Global: Open to everyone.

Private Labels​

Private labels are only visible to you. You can use Private Labels to organize and manage your samples in a way that is meaningful to you.

Public Labels​

Public labels are visible to all users. You can associate samples with Public Labels before publication and share them with collaborators.

Global Labels​

Global labels are open to everyone. You can use Global labels to standardize the labeling of samples across the entire system. Only authorized users can create and edit Global labels.

Chemotion Repository provides a global label called Commercial to define the compounds obtained from suppliers for the purpose of analyzing derivatives.
