Knowledge Base Articles
The Knowledge Base contains articles giving detailed instructions on various aspects of the platform.

The Getting Started Guide is one resource that gathers like articles in a high-level overview of Ovation LIMS, and there are also several workflow guides that walk stepwise through a specific workflow.
