Testing

Follow the project's lab testing schedules and chain of custody.

The Testing area shows the laboratory side of the project - the testing schedules raised against it and the chain of custody records that track samples to the lab. Two tabs hold the detail.

Schedules

The Schedules tab lists testing schedules, each with its reference, sample and test counts, and status - Awaiting start, In progress, Completed, Cancelled, Not received, Not required or Restricted.

Chain of custody

The Chain of custody tab lists custody records, each with its reference, sample count and status - Draft, Issued, Received or Complete.

Creating records

You can view testing for the project at any time. If the project team has given you the permission, you can also create records here - a New schedule or New CoC button appears on the relevant tab. Otherwise the area is read-only.

When you build a schedule or CoC, you'll only see the laboratories the project team has shared with you - not necessarily their whole list. If no lab appears in the picker, they haven't shared any with you yet; ask them to add one to your access.
