If you need security or regulation compliance, you can activate this function. By default the value is OFF. You need to activate it according to your lab requirements.  It helps to activate options for validations of tests/jobs, activation of accreditation logo, enhance security measures, password protection to view reports, etc.


1. Compliance

1.1) One step review: You can choose this option if you want your jobs to be validated by the supervisor of the lab. The jobs will reach finished status only when they are validated by supervisor.

1.2) Two step review: You can choose this option if you want to validate your jobs with two distinct supervisors in lab. The jobs will reach finished status only when they are validated by two different supervisors.

1.3) You can activate this option to send result reports to requested in a password protected manner.

1.4) While creating tests in Admin 🡪 Preferences 🡪 Tests you can validate the test by locking the editing feature. After this when you choose limit only to validated tests, then only locked tests will be seen, when you create a job.

1.5) While creating a job, you need to add sample name. By activating this barcode verification, you need to just scan the barcode of the sample and the name (number) will be automatically entered. By default the sample name will be selected for barcode verification. However, you can also activate this option for any parameter that you have created at job, sample or test level. (refer to section 3.4.2.1)

If this function is activated, when users perform validation actions (single sample or batch), the system asks the user to confirm their password. Only the super- administrator or users defined with Administrator role within the LSM can validate results. The validator and timestamp of validation will be automatically added to reports. The number of validations needed can also be configured (one or two).
