The job bar contains several options to manage jobs.




The job bar displays the options to navigate through jobs. All of them are explain below, one by one.



Users can see and process samples for a particular assay or a particular batch using the item Group by in the toolbar.


From the Job List (Job > Job List) Group by offers several options. This makes it possible to find, filter and sort any group of samples, jobs or tests to work on.


Job-Test: this is the default choice. This provides a tree view with the job at the top level, test as a middle level and sample as the next level.

Job-Sample: This provides a tree view with the job at the top level, sample as a middle level and assay as the next level.

Test-Status: Test is the top level, each test has the next level in the tree organized by status, with sample as the next level of the tree.

Batch-Test: Batch is the top level of the tree, Test is the next level, followed by sample. Jobs and samples that have not been assigned a batch are grouped together in a blank batch.


Using this last filter, you can then import results in batch using CSV file.





You can export a CSV file choosing the field separator, update it, and then import results in batch.

To import results, the first line of the file must contain the name of the columns to import, and the names have to match with the column names (case insensitive). If the column does not match the header, it will be ignored. It’s not necessary that the file contains all the columns of the grid.


If you use the phrase option, if the phrase is blank, it will be updated based on the result value from the imported file.


If a job does not have an operator, shipment information or batch assigned, these may also be added for sorting/filtering/grouping by double clicking on the job list.


Sample shipment is a drop down menu with predefined options.




The field Batch is visible in the tree. To add jobs, tests or samples to a batch tick the relevant check-boxes to the left of the entries on the job list and select Assign Batch from the Menu. Grouping by batch-assay, users can perform actions on all samples with the same batch code.
