There is a tab under the Job menu, named "Samples for disposal" in which you can find all samples that are due for disposal, simply put, the samples that are found within this list follow this condition "today date - received date > retention period".


Note

This option will only be available if you activate the sample retention period, simply go to Admin -> Setup -> Job Requests -> Sample retention period, then click on "Yes" and select the number of days after which the samples will either be returned or disposed of.




Also, within the job creation form, you can choose whether you want the samples to be returned or not (see screenshot below).
