	Within the context of a LIMS, 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. Workloads 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 LIMS, a modern data information management system can now optimize those tasks and provide additional scheduling functionality to streamline the operation of a lab. [[Autoscribe Ltd.]], for example, offers a scheduling module for its LIMS that allows users to automatically schedule multiple jobs, data backups, alarms, and reports.<ref name="ASSched">{{cite web \|url=https://www.autoscribeinformatics.com/resources/press-releases/easy-scheduling-of-lims-activities \|title=Easy scheduling of LIMS activities \|publisher=Autoscribe Ltd \|accessdate=13 March 2020}}</ref> Some LIMS like [[Vendor:LabWare, Inc.\|LabWare, Inc.'s]] LabWare LIMS offer multiple types of schedulers that match to the particular functions of a research laboratory.<ref name="LWSched">{{cite web \|url=https://www.labware.com/en/p/Products/Summary-of-Core-Product-Features \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200512174255/https://www.labware.com/en/p/Products/Summary-of-Core-Product-Features \|title=Summary of Core Product Features \|publisher=LabWare, Inc \|archivedate=12 May 2020 \|accessdate=06 January 2022}}</ref> Additional functionality within this feature includes the ability to configure automated assignments of analysis requests, establish recurring events, and in most cases, create printable schedules.

	Of course, there are LIMS features that are difficult to categorize under any of these phases. Such features often contribute to the entire LIMS and how it's utilized. For example, multilingual support appears in LIMS like [[Assaynet Inc.\|Assaynet's]] Assaynet LIMS and [[SLCLAB Informática SL\|SLCLAB Informática's]] ALFA21, allowing users to interact with the LIMS in more than one language. Some functionality may also overlap several laboratory phases, making it difficult to firmly classify.		Of course, there are LIMS features that are difficult to categorize under any of these phases.

	The features described below come from an analysis of freely available LIMS product information on vendor websites. An attempt was made to discover the features most utilized in vendors' LIMS products and collect information on those features for each LIMS. Not every possible feature is referenced here; some LIMS products fill specific niches, utilizing unique functionality to solve a specific problem.
