People, Lab data, and Supplies
The Lab lens has three pages. People is the starting point; Lab data holds shared writeups, and Supplies covers inventory and funding.
People
Open /people for mentorship and working relationships. Lab heads and delegated managers see the lab's People view with member details and announcements. Members see their own relationships. Access and available controls depend on your role.
Selecting a member shows your 1:1 with them, a goals checklist you share, and the latest meeting write-up, with every past 1:1 one click away. This is where you follow someone's work. There is no longer a lab-wide list of every member's experiments, because the Lab lens is built around mentorship rather than monitoring. To talk through the work itself, a check-in is the natural place.
Lab data
Open /lab-data to search writeups that members have shared with the lab. Filter by person or by type (Note or Running log), then select a record to read it. The record opens read only, so reading a member's note never changes it. This view respects sharing permissions and excludes notes scoped to a one-on-one relationship, which stay with that relationship on People. It does not expose every private notebook, so a note appears here only once its author shares it with the lab.
Supplies
Open /lab-supplies for lab inventory and funding accounts. Inventory is searchable when the inventory feature is enabled. Funding accounts show spending against budgets and can be managed from this page. Purchases use a transparent ledger; the old purchase-approval queue has been retired.
Lab data and lab Supplies require lab-head or delegated-manager access. Individual controls can still require the lab head. These lab views are separate from your personal notebook and Supplies page.
