AUTO_COMPLETE_SAMPLES
BOOLEAN
When the last sample scheme in a production or internal sample achieves a Workflow Status of Completed, or another end-state like Listed Not Received, Insufficient Sample, Not Analysed or No Result, and a cascade is being performed to determine the sample's Workflow Status, then:
- If checked (default on deploy) and the AUTO_VALIDATE_SAMPLES application preference is checked, then the sample's Workflow Status becomes Completed if it is not already completed, and the sample's Validated Date is stamped if it is not already stamped.
- If checked (default on deploy) and the AUTO_VALIDATE_SAMPLES application preference is cleared, then the sample's Workflow Status becomes Completed if it is not already completed, but the sample's Validated Date is not stamped (such that the sample needs to be validated manually).
- If cleared (default if missing) and the AUTO_VALIDATE_SAMPLES application preference is checked, then the sample's Workflow Status becomes Released if it is not already released, and does not proceed to Completed, and the sample's Validated Date is not stamped (such that the sample needs to be completed manually, but as soon as it becomes completed then it is validated automatically).
- If cleared (default if missing) and the AUTO_VALIDATE_SAMPLES application preference is cleared, then the sample's Workflow Status becomes Released if it is not already released, but the sample does proceed to Completed, and the sample's Validated Date is not stamped (such that the sample needs to be completed and validated manually).
Typically the preference is not set at role or user level.
