They will still be able to utilize and navigate to these items but will not take up real estate of the home page or side bar if they are not one of the users most used applications.

• Mapping of data fields to custom attributes on the system
  
• Tagging newly created samples, either from defined tags in the file itself, or pre-set tags for the entire system
