Thank you Jordi

    and apologies x-posting, this information is handy on the user list too

To be complete you might want to populate other useful items, 
particularly System Defaults 
<http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/system-defaults>, 
lab information 
<http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/the-lab> 
and those referenced by Analysis Services, e.g:

    I copy from the Manual index so the links will lead you to the
    corresponding page there

    Sample Points
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/sample-points>

    Methods
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/methods>

    Calculations
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/calculations>

    Instruments
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/instruments>


Next you could consider

    Analysis Specifications
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/analysis-specifications>


And to aid AR and worksheet creation with the minimum effort:

    Analysis Profiles
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/analysis-profiles>

    AR Templates
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/ar-templates>

    Worksheet Templates
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/worksheet-templates>

For using QC samples:

    Reference Definitions
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/reference-definitions>

If your lab partitions samples, consider:

    Sample Containers, Container Types and Preservation
    <http://demo.bikalabs.com/knowledge-centre/manual/bika-3-user-manual/setup-and-configuration/sample-containers-and-container-types>


The manual is work in progress, please report gaps and mistakes, thanks
