Effect of scheme scope upon a laboratory sample portion

When Maintaining Sample Portions to create laboratory sample portions, the population of fields from the scheme, scheme version or scheme version analyte is as follows.

When a scheme is used to provide sample portion parameters, then the population of fields that default from the scheme is affected by the scope of the sample and the scope of the scheme.

Any laboratory that enables an org-scope scheme for use in their laboratory have an enabled-scope copy of the scheme created. The highest published scheme version of that org-scope scheme also has an enabled-scope copy of the scheme version created for the laboratory. Likewise, each analyte within the highest published scheme version of that org-scope scheme also has an enabled-scope copy of the analyte created for the laboratory.

Defaults set from a scheme are applied as follows:

  1. Applying an org-scope scheme or analyte to an org-scope entity—The scheme-related values default from the org-scope scheme.
  2. Applying an enabled-scope scheme or analyte to a lab-scope entity—The scheme-related values default from the enabled-scope scheme, with the various exceptions (as observed in the population of the tables).
  3. Applying a lab-scope scheme or analyte to a lab-scope entity—The scheme-related values default from the lab-scope scheme.

The following table outlines the effect of scheme scope upon a laboratory sample portion.
