Methods and devices for managing sets of configuration parameters for laboratory management systems

摘要

A method is provided for managing a plurality of sets of configuration parameters for laboratory management systems. After being inputted (s10) with a parent set, the method causes a child set or child sets to be created (s20) based on the parent set. This includes causing (s22) the child set to inherit all the parameter values of the parent set, and, thereafter, if a configuration parameter value inherited from the parent set is modified (s24), the child set's configuration parameter whose value has been modified is regarded to as a child-specific parameter. Then, modifying (s30) a configuration parameter value of the parent set causes the value of the corresponding configuration parameter of a child set to be modified if the configuration parameter is not, for that child set, a child-specific parameter. Device and computer programs are also disclosed.
