Black Box Sample Processing Service Config

Black Box Sample Processing (BBSP) services for the resource system represent an order for services that have an item quantity and price per item. BBSP Services also include limited sample configuration and data storage ability.

Creating a new service

A new service can be created by clicking the "Create New Service" button located above the service list search box

Newly created services will not exist until saved after initial configuration. This means that some functionality that needs an id number such as creating service rates will not be available until the user click the "Save" button to save a newly created service.
