# Application Navigation (Reference Data)

## Left Navigation Panel

For ease of use, Reference Data features are organized into navigation tabs, always available on the left throughout the application.

### Vocabularies

Manage controlled vocabularies: create, edit, or delete them as needed.

Clicking the `Home` button returns you to this home page.

### Property Types

Define the types of properties that can be assigned to vocabulary items.

### Labware Items

              
              

This section is only visible to users with the `Reference Data Administrator` role.

Manage labware items: object formats, well types, and plate layouts.

### Sites

Manage sites, which are locations where you work or store materials.
