Overview

After detection limit assessment takes place, a sample scheme analyte's Composite Spec Status, Composite QC Status and Workflow Status are determined.

• Enumerations related to Core Specification Statuses
• Enumerations related to Core QC Statuses
• Enumerations related to Core Workflow Statuses

Also, the operator can apply various custom specification statuses, QC statuses and workflow statuses, to set a sample scheme analyte's User Spec Status, User QC Status and User Workflow Status.

• Applying a Custom QC Status to a Sample Scheme Analyte
• Applying a Custom Workflow Status in a Workbook Session

• Enumerations related to User Specification Statuses
• Enumerations related to User QC Statuses
• Enumerations related to User Workflow Statuses

These statuses can be seen in the lower panel of the workbook. Refer to toggling the showing and hiding of the analysis detail lower panel when Using the Workbook Grid.

Process

Where a sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status is set to Check, there are various pathways that can be taken, depending upon the analytical environment:

• Forcing the Reassessment of Results in a Workbook Session
• Overwriting a Result in a Workbook Session
• Requesting a Repeat Analysis in a Workbook Session
• Preparing for Check Analysis in a Workbook Session
• Ignoring a Critical Detection Limit Failure in a Workbook Session
• Ignoring a Composite QC Failure in a Workbook Session

Essentially, if the detection limit failure is resolved then the sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status moves from Check to Analysed, which then allows the sample scheme and sample to move on to have a Workflow Status of Analysed.

For example, if an unknown sample has all its results except that a critical detection limit assessment results in the Detection Limit Status being set to Upper Failure, which also sets the sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status to Check, then the result that has exceeded critical detection limits of analysis must be checked before the sample can be considered analysed.

When a result has a Workflow Status of Analysed and there is no failure state in the Composite QC Status, then the result can be moved on to being released and validated:

• Releasing Results in a Workbook Session
• Validating Results in a Workbook Session
