Search criteria

  • Group By

    Group search results firstly by:

    • Analytical Type and QC Type—Search results are grouped first by the analytical type and QC type code associated with the QC history record, or

    • Analytical Type only—Search results are grouped first by the analytical type associated with the QC history record only, and

    secondly by:

    • Standard and Lot—Search results are grouped secondly by the standard code and standard lot associated with the QC history record, or

    • Standard only—Search results are grouped secondly by the standard code associated with the QC history record only, and

    thirdly by:

    • Scheme and Version—Search results are grouped thirdly by the scheme code and version number associated with the QC history record, or

    • Scheme only—Search results are grouped thirdly by the scheme code associated with the QC history record only.

  • Status

    Search QC history summaries by the observation's activity status:

    • All

    • Active only

    • Inactive only.

  • QC Status

    Search QC history summaries by the observation's QC status:

    • Not Tested

    • Not Required

    • Incomplete (obsolete)

    • Pass

    • Ignore Warning

    • Ignore Failure

    • Ignore Lower Failure

    • Ignore Upper Failure

    • Ignore Trend Failure

    • Warning

    • Lower Warning

    • Upper Warning

    • Trend Warning

    • Failure

    • Lower Failure

    • Upper Failure

    • Trend Failure.

    Where multiple criteria are entered, then the criteria are applied as "Or".

  • Analytical Type

    Search QC history summaries by the observation's primary analytical type, either Duplicate, Standard, Blank, Spike and/or Replicate. Refer to Conditions for Allowing Standards as Spikes.

  • Secondary Analytical Type

    Search QC history summaries by the observation's secondary analytical type, either Duplicate or Replicate, dependent on the selection of Analytical Type.

    Where Secondary Analytical Type is not provided, then the search only returns QC observations where the sample's Secondary Analytical Type is empty.

    Where Secondary Analytical Type is provided, the search only returns QC observations where the sample's Secondary Analytical Type matches the criteria. Selecting a Secondary Analytical Type of Duplicate or Replicate is used to find QC samples where the Primary Analytical Type is Blank, Standard or Spike and the Secondary Analytical Type is Duplicate or Replicate.

    Example: Given the following samples are analysed and undergo QC assessment:

    Sample

    Primary Analytical Type

    Primary QC Type Code

    Secondary Analytical Type

    Secondary QC Type Code

    Duplicate Original Sample

    STD1

    Standard

    STD

    		      

    STD2REP

    Standard

    STD

    Replicate

    STD_REP

    STD2

    Upon QC assessment, STD1, STD2 and STD2REP undergo standard assessment, and STD2REP also undergoes replicate precision assessment. In total, 4 observations are written to QC history.

  • QC Type Code

    Search QC history summaries by the code of the observation's QC type related to the type of assessment.

    Where the observation was written for a sample scheme analyte's assessment of the:

    • Primary analytical type and primary QC type, then this is set to the sample scheme analyte's Primary QC Type Code.

    • Secondary analytical type and secondary QC type, then this is set to the sample scheme analyte's Secondary QC Type Code.

  • Standard Code

    Search QC history summaries by the code of the associated standard. Only applicable when the selected analytical type is Blank, Standard or Spike.

  • Section Code

    Search QC history summaries by the code of an associated section.

  • Scheme Code

    Search QC history summaries by the code of an associated scheme.

  • Job Name

    Search QC history summaries by the name of an associated job.

  • Client Code

    Search QC history summaries by the QC history observation's client. The field allows for the selection of multiple client codes, and allows for the use of wildcards. Client codes are included in the drop-down selection list regardless of whether the client is active or not, as historical QC observations may be associated with a now inactive client.

  • Client Name

    Search QC history summaries by the name of the QC history observation's client. The field allows for the selection of multiple client names, and allows for the use of wildcards.

  • Project Code

    Search QC history summaries by the QC history observation's project. The field allows for the selection of multiple project codes associated with the specified clients, and allows for the use of wildcards. Project codes are included in the drop-down selection list regardless of whether the project is active or not, as historical QC observations may be associated with a now inactive project. Where Client Code is provided, then the Project Code drop-down selection list is filtered by associated clients, and where it is not provided, then contains all possible project codes associated with all clients.

    Note: Where the Client Group is provided, then any filtering by project requires that the Project Code is entered rather than selected, as the Project Code drop-down selection list does not react to Client Group.

  • Client Group Code

    Search QC history summaries by the code of a client group containing the QC history observation's client. The field allows for the selection of multiple client group codes, and allows for the use of wildcards.

  • User Code
