	It should be noted that some ELN vendors take the approach of creating ELN integration with a [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS), letting the LIMS handle the instrument interfacing duties. Such functionality is not exclusive; an ELN may be able to interface both with laboratory instruments and with a LIMS.

	===Task and event scheduling===		===Task and event scheduling===

	Within the context of an ELN, the ability to schedule a task or event is a natural extension of how work was done in a laboratory before the advent of data management systems. Experiments are assigned to technicians, maintenance schedules are created and followed, and research deadlines must be observed. While these tasks have in the past been performed without ELN, a modern data management system can now optimize those tasks and provide additional scheduling functionality to streamline the operation of a lab. Some ELNs like [[Labtronics Inc.]]'s Nexxis ELN can schedule due dates on worksheets and experiments.<ref name="NexELNPDF">{{cite web \|url=http://www.cambridgesoft.com/literature/PDF/Nexxis%20ELN.pdf \|title=Nexxis Electronic Laboratory Notebook \|publisher=PerkinElmer, Inc \|date=2011 \|format=PDF \|accessdate=07 February 2013}}</ref> Additional functionality within this feature group includes the ability to configure automated assignments of experiment requests, establish recurring events, and in most cases, create printable reports.
