LANMAS◦ Plug-Ins

Allows users to view and edit Remarks in LANMAS Set Attractiveness Level by SMT/IDC to meet LANL’s

requirements for MIX/SPLIT/ADJUSTMENT◦ Peer Review turned on◦ AssayMethod used to track type of instrument used to

measure material ADMIN/Gridset

◦ For each LANMAS form display fields that are of used by LANL

ADMIN/Security◦ Create >100 User groups to manage security

permissions
