A new edition of LabArchives, called LabArchives for Government, is now officially FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) authorized at the moderate security-impact level. LabArchives for Government provides federal security and compliance-approved editions of LabArchives ELN, Inventory, and Scheduler that have passed FedRAMP’s rigorous government and third-party testing in areas such as government-grade encryption, vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, and coding and documentation standards. LabArchives for Government is a trusted option for facilitating research and managing unclassified data in accordance with directives from federal offices, including the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and the National Archives and Records Administration.
LabArchives Scheduler is a calendar and scheduling service for the management and scheduling of laboratory or research equipment, tools, conference rooms, or any other shared resources. It provides a centralized calendar and sign up facility to enable members of an organization to schedule usage of resources.
There are two basic roles in Scheduler: Administrator and User. The Administrator(s) set up resources based on the schedule of when those are available, and invite users to reserve resources. Resources can be managed to set buffer times in between reservations, require approval before a reservation can be confirmed, set quotas to limit reservations, and even charge users for their time on a particular piece of equipment. Users can view all their reservations, easily check the availability of resources and make new reservations accordingly.
