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 users and their collaborators by providing a standardized way to reference and share samples. Users 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 four types of labels:

  • Private: Exclusive access for the user.
  • Public: Shareable before publication; visible to all users.
  • Review: For use by reviewers.
  • Global: Open to everyone.

Private Labels​

Private labels are only visible to the user. Users can use Private Labels to organize and manage their samples in a way that is meaningful to them.

Public Labels​

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

Review Labels​

Review labels are for use by reviewers. This label is designed to mark submissions that need to be highlighted for reviewers, ensuring that critical items are easily identifiable.

Global Labels​

Global labels are open to everyone. Users 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.
