= OpenSpecimen HowTo Create Containers

Tags: [[OpenSpecimen]] [[HowTo]]

== Overview

1. Containers are created in a hierarchy, one containing many others in a grid pattern.
2. Containers can either contain other containers or samples.
3. You can specify what a container can contain, in terms of sample types and protocols.  Child containers can only contain subsets of these.
4. Containers can be replicated to speed up the process of creation.
