# Testing

> Company-wide lab testing schedules and chain of custody, read-only across every project.

The **Testing** area gives you a single, read-only view of your laboratory
testing across every project - the schedules you have raised and the chain of
custody records that track samples to the lab.

<Callout type="note" title="Authored in Manage">
  Testing schedules and chain of custody records are created and managed in
  [Manage](https://www.gimlabs.io/platform/manage). Insight surfaces them
  read-only, gathered across all your projects in one place.
</Callout>

## Summary

At the top, summary tiles give you the headline numbers:

- **Schedules** - total, overdue, due in the next 7 days, in progress, and
  completed.
- **Chain of custody** - total, issued, received, and complete.

## Lab activity

Below the summary, Insight shows which **laboratories** the work sits with, and
how many schedules and chain of custody records each one has - a quick read on
where your testing is concentrated.

## Schedules and chain of custody

Two tabs hold the detail, each a searchable table. Search by reference, project
or lab to find a record.

### Schedules

Each schedule shows its reference, project, lab, sample and test counts, due date
and status. Overdue schedules are flagged; a **preliminary** due date (not yet
confirmed by the lab) shows as `(prelim.)` and is not counted as overdue.

Statuses use your company's own list (set in Product OS) - by default the standard
AGS testing statuses (**Awaiting start**, **In progress**, **Completed**, **Not
received**, **Not required**, **Restricted**, **Cancelled**), with any renamed or
custom statuses shown here too.

### Chain of custody

Each record shows its reference, project, the lab it was dispatched to, sample
count, dispatch date and status:

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Draft** | Being prepared. |
| **Issued** | Issued for dispatch. |
| **Received** | Received by the lab. |
| **Complete** | Closed out. |
