Maintaining Test Assignments for a Sample Record

The Tests tab on the Sample Record Summary contains a list of tests assigned to the sample record. For a test to appear in the list, the current user must have an active testing qualification and an active qualified lab association for the sample record test.

The Material and Sample Type are displayed at the top of the tab. You can view information in these fields:

By default, the MAA check box is selected to indicate that the test counts toward material acceptance actions. You can clear this check box if appropriate. If a test has been retested, no more than one test from among the original test and all its associated retests can be counted towards material acceptance. Click the Save button to save your changes.

To assign all default tests to this sample record as appropriate for the sample record's material code, sample type, and destination lab, click the Assign Default Tests button. The system adds the new tests to the list. Only one test run can be added to a sample record for each required test. Click the Save button to save your changes.

To add another test run for a test that is already assigned to the sample record, select Add Test Run from the Actions menu on the test row. Note that the Add Test Run command is not available for tests that are marked as required. The system duplicates the row and increments the test number by one. Click the Save button to save your changes.

Note: When a test run is repeated or rerun, the system increments the test number by one tenth. For example, if a test run numbered 2.0 must be rerun, the test number for the rerun is 2.1.

To delete a test from this sample record, select Delete from the Actions menu on the test row. Tests marked as required cannot be deleted. Click the Save button to save your changes. If the sample record includes additional test runs with the same test method as the test you deleted, the test numbers for the remaining test runs are updated if needed.

To assign one or more default, optional, or required tests to the sample record, click the Assign Tests button. To be able to assign tests to a sample record, the sample record must be associated with a destination lab on the Associations tab. After tests are assigned to a sample record, the destination lab association cannot be changed. When you click the Assign Tests button, the system begins a guided process that enables you to select which tests you want to add to the sample record. For more information, see Assigning Tests to a Sample Record.

To access additional information about a test, click the Test Number link on the appropriate row, or select Open from the Actions menu on the test row. The system takes you to the Sample Record Test Summary component. For more information, see Maintaining Sample Record Tests.
