Overview

A job biofield is a field that exists irregularly on job records, that is, the set of biofields can vary from job to job, and is used to store additional information for the job.

A job biofield is scoped by its parent job. A job can contain multiple job biofields.

A job biofield has a value and a flag to indicate its reportability. Job biofields can be used in search criteria and placed on reports.

Process

All biofields for a job, regardless of whether they were automatically or manually added to the job, can be maintained on the Biofields tab in the CCREGN—Job application. Job biofields are ordered as follows:

• CCBIOFIELDVAL.organisation_code
• CCBIOFIELDVAL.laboratory_code
• CCBIOFIELDVAL.job_code
• CCBIOFIELDVAL.sequence_number

Upon maintaining job biofields:

• The event is audited.

Automatically Adding Biofields to Jobs

A biofield is automatically added to a job if the biofield is in scope, has a Use Scope of Job, is active, and at least one of the following is true:

• Flagged for automatic registration.
• Included in a biofield group linked from a client group in which the job's client is a member, or included in a biofield group linked from the job's cost centre. Refer to Conditions for Defaulting Biofields from Client Group and Conditions for Defaulting Biofields from Cost Centre, respectively.

Biofield scope must also be satisfied:

• Where the biofield has org-scope, then it must link to no line of business, or link to a line of business within the laboratory's lines of business.
• Where an org-scope biofield is linked, optionally, to a line of business that is associated with the current laboratory, then the org-scope biofield is viewable by users within that laboratory. Otherwise, the biofield is hidden for use. This allows for a limited list of visible org-scope biofields for a laboratory, based on the analytical tests a laboratory is able to perform. Until a laboratory is linked to one or more lines of business, all org-scope biofields associated with a line of business are hidden to the laboratory's users. Refer to Limiting User Visibility of Biofields by Line of Business.

A biofield with a Biofield Type of List must have biofield values with matching descriptions to provide the user with a populated drop-down selection list of values.

When a job is created from an existing job, then job biofields are inherited from the source job into the destination job.
