Maintaining Lab Testers

The Lab Testers tab on the Lab Summary component contains a list of all the testers assigned to the lab. Testers and testing qualifications apply only to lab units and not destination labs. You must be specified as a lab tester for a lab unit in order to view sample records and mark them as received on the Receive Samples at Lab Unit component.

Each row contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

• Last Name

• First Name

• MI Initial

• Geographic Area

• Title

• Person ID

To change information for a lab tester, click anywhere in that row. Click in any field and add or change information as required.

To delete a lab tester, select Delete from the Actions menu on the lab tester row. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

• Note: You cannot delete a lab tester that has associated records, such as being listed as the tester on a sample record test.

When you are finished making changes to the lab tester, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

Adding Testers to the Lab

To add one or more testers to the lab, perform these steps:

1. On the Lab Testers tab on the Lab Summary, click the Select Lab Testers button.
   
   The system displays a modal window for adding qualified testers.

2. First locate the tester row you want to associate with the lab by typing criteria in the Quick Find search box or by clicking Show first 10.
   
   The system lists all the testers that meet your search criteria.

3. Click the row for each lab tester you want to add.
   
   The system adds a check mark beside each tester you select and shades the row. To cancel a selection, click the selected row again.

4. Click the Add to Lab button.
   
   The system closes the modal window and adds the new testers to the list on the Lab Testers tab.
