In Labguru, you have the option to connect multiple accounts under a Department Account. This can be a great way to coordinate scheduling and maintenance on shared Equipment, as well as easily send Protocols to your colleagues.

Please note that this guide only applies to accounts that are connected by a Department Account. If you're interested in setting up a Department Account, have your Admin reach out to Labguru Support.

Sharing Equipment with a Department Account

From your account's Equipment list, click Share:

If your account is part of a Department Account, you'll now have the option to share all Equipment metadata, Maintenance records, and Calendar/Scheduling information with other users in your department.

Please note that any Custom Fields that do not exist in the department account and subscribed accounts will not be transferred when the equipment is shared.

Accessing your Department's Equipment List

Click on your Account Name in the top right of Labguru. Department Accounts will be listed with the [Department Workspace] note:

Select the Equipment Module on the left side. Now you'll be able to see a full list of all Equipment shared across your department:

Sharing Protocols with a Department Account

To share a Protocol with your Department Account, click on More then Share to repository from the Protocol page:

From there, select with which Department Account you wish to share this Protocol.

Accessing your Department's Protocol Repository

Visit the Protocols page in your account, then select the Add From Protocol Directory button:

You'll see an index page full of different Protocol Repositories, including from each Department Account you're in:

You'll see the most recently added, or you can click View All to see the full list.
