Database Cleanup Procedure
After initial user training, but before the lab starts to use BaseSpace Clarity LIMS in production, a database cleanup is recommended.
This process removes any projects, samples, workflows, protocols, steps, and other artifacts from the system that were created during training but are not needed for production.
Contact the Clarity LIMS Support team to schedule a time for this cleanup procedure.
In preparation for the cleanup, complete the following steps:
| • | Delete all unwanted custom fields and master steps. |
| • | Set the status of all unwanted workflows to Archived. If there is an archived workflow that you want to keep, temporarily set its status to Active. Note the following: |
| – | Protocols that are part of an archived workflow or set of archived workflows are deleted. |
| – | Protocols that belong to an active or pending workflow, in addition to an archived workflow, are not deleted. |
After these steps are completed, a Clarity LIMS Technical Support Analyst (TSA) helps to perform the cleanup procedure. This procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete.
