  • Analyte Type

    The intended use of the analyte. Display only. This can be:

    • Preparation Weight—Holds the weight of a sample scheme, which is propagated into related sample scheme analytes in the scheme and in linked schemes, and used for raw-to-final calculations. Only one Preparation Weight type analyte can be defined per scheme that has a Scheme Type of Analytical Preparation or Analytical.

    • Preparation Volume—Holds the volume of a sample scheme, which is propagated into to related sample scheme analytes in the scheme and in linked schemes, and used for raw-to-final calculations. Only one Preparation Volume type analyte can be defined per scheme that has a Scheme Type of Analytical Preparation or Analytical.

  • Mandatory Profile

    Indicates whether the analyte is registered automatically on the sample when the scheme is registered on a sample during registration.

  • Name

    The name of the analyte, typically that used by the laboratory to identify the analyte. In most analyte code drop-down lists, Analyte Code + Name is displayed.

  • Description

    The description of the analyte. Maximum length of 400 characters.

  • Import Name

    The name of the analyte on import from an instrument, used if the instrument cannot uniquely identify the analyte by Analyte Code.

  • Export Name

    The name of the analyte on export from CCLAS, used if the external system cannot uniquely identify the analyte by Analyte Code.

  • MSDS Name

    The material safety data sheet name or description of the analyte, to allow it to be cross-referenced to external safety details. Display only.

  • Invoiceable

    Indicates whether results for this analyte are counted towards the number of invoiceable analytes for an invoiced scheme, applicable where the scheme's Price Type is Scheme-Based. If checked and the analyte is subsequently registered for a sample, then the sample scheme analyte's Invoiceable defaults to the analyte's Invoiceable. This may be updated. When an invoice is generated and the analyte is added to it, then the invoice scheme analyte's invoiceable is selected by default if any sample scheme analytes in the invoice have their Invoiceable check box checked.

  • Include in costs

    Indicates whether results for this scheme version analyte are included in job costs.

  • Price Code

    The price code associated with the analyte. An analyte can have a price code assigned only if the scheme's Price Type is Analyte-Based. A job scheme analyte requires a price code to be priced in an invoice. A job scheme analyte's Price Code defaults to the scheme version analyte's Price Code. A price code may be selected from the drop-down list that contains active price codes in scope with a Price Type of Analyte-Based, as configured in the CCPRCCODE—Price Code application. Click the field hyperlink to display the CCPRCCODE—Search Price Code screen, select the appropriate value and click Select and Return to populate the field with the selected value.

    Scope rules apply. If the scope of the entity is org-scope then the drop-down list for the linked entity contains org-scope entities only, and the entity can be linked to org-scope entities only. If the scope of the entity is lab-scope then the drop-down list for the linked entity contains both org-scope and lab-scope entities, and the entity can be linked to either org-scope or lab-scope entities.

    Line of business rules apply. The drop-down list for the linked price code is filtered further to contain only org-scope price codes where the price code has not been assigned to any scheme or analyte, and org-scope price codes where the price code is assigned to a scheme or analyte where the scheme is enabled for the laboratory. However, there is no validation upon submit for the line of business rules, allowing a price code that is org-scope where the price code is assigned to a scheme or analyte where the scheme has not been enabled for the laboratory, allowing any price code to be available during scheme configuration.

  • Parent Analyte Code

    The code of parent analyte, such that, if populated, indicates that this analyte is a sub-analyte of the parent analyte. Workbook allows columns holding sub-analytes to be collapsed to just display the parent analyte.

Analysis Tab

The analysis details for the scheme version analyte.

Tab flows

Test—Test the validity of the Spreadsheet Formula.

  • Include on Worksheet

    The default setting for a sample scheme analyte's Include on Worksheet check box which ultimately sets the reportability of the analyte in paperwork and label report requests.

  • Workflow Active

    Indicates whether the analyte has an impact on the cascade engine when the sample scheme's and job scheme analyte's Workflow Status is determined.

    When a sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status is updated, thereby causing a triggering of the cascade engine, where:

    • Checked—Then the determination of the sample scheme's and job scheme analyte's Workflow Status considers the analyte's Workflow Status.

    • Unchecked—Then the determination of the sample scheme's and job scheme analyte's Workflow Status does not consider this analyte's Workflow Status at all.

    Note: Where all analytes within a sample scheme are workflow inactive, then any sample scheme analyte with a Workflow Status that is something other than Not Started is considered in the cascade to sample scheme, to give an idea of where the sample scheme is at, and where any analyte within the sample scheme has a Workflow Status of Analysed, Released or Completed, then the sample scheme's Workflow Status cascades to Completed.

    Refer to Appendix—Job Life-cycle and the Status Cascade Engine.

  • Allow Null Result

    Indicates whether a sample scheme analyte with a Workflow Status of Not Started can be treated as if it were Completed, and cascade accordingly. Effectively it means that if the sample scheme analyte has no result, it does not stop the sample scheme's Workflow Status from becoming Completed.

    For example, determining an average weight using Wt1, Wt2, Wt3. You might be happy to only enter Wt1 and Wt2, and Wt3 is left empty, but you want your sample scheme's Workflow Status to be Completed.

  • QC Active

    When a master scheme is used to register a sample scheme analyte, the sample scheme analyte's QC Active defaults to the scheme version analyte's QC Active.

    Note: When a template sample is used to register a sample scheme analyte, the sample scheme analyte's QC Active defaults to the template sample scheme analyte's QC Active.

  • Saved to QC History

    Indicates whether results for a sample that has a Primary Analytical Type or Secondary Analytical Type of Duplicate, Replicate, Blank, Standard or Spike has its results saved to QC History.

  • Unit Code

    The default units in which an analytical result for this analyte is captured. A unit may be selected from the drop-down list that contains active units in scope, as configured in the CCUNIT—Unit application. Click the field hyperlink to display the CCUNIT—Search Unit screen, select the appropriate value and click Select and Return to populate the field with the selected value.

  • Holding Time

    The default holding time for sample schemes analytes registered with this scheme version analyte, used to place a tighter holding time on the analyte compared to the scheme. Certain properties of the sample may deteriorate and effect the analysis of the analyte, but other analytes in the scheme are not effected by it. If the holding time is not specified, then the holding time from the scheme is applied to determine expiry dates.

    Holding time is used to avoid sample expiry, and is the maximum time that a sample has to be prepared by, analysed and validated for a sample scheme analyte before the sample deteriorates to such a point that the correctness of an analytical result is questionable. The point of deterioration is known as the Expiry Date. For this reason, any sample scheme analyte that has exceeded the sample scheme's or sample scheme analyte's Holding Time cannot have results entered. A Warning Date is calculated (back from the expiry date) so that this information is available for display to the batching operator as a warning that the expiry date is approaching. In addition, a script or report could be configured to warn of expected deterioration.

    For a sample scheme with no precursor scheme, Holding Time is counted from the earliest of the sample's Received On or Sampled On date. For a sample scheme with a precursor scheme, Holding Time is counted from the Completed Date of the precursor scheme.

    When a duplicate sample is created, the sample scheme and sample scheme analyte's holding times, warning times, possible dates and expiry dates for duplicate samples default to those set on the original sample.

    Entered in the format xN, where x is an integer and N is a code for a date-time period: S (second), N (minute), H (hour), D (day), M (month), Y (year). For example, 10D (10 days), 30N (30 minutes).

  • Warning Time

    The default warning time of sample expiry before analysis must be done for sample scheme analytes registered with this scheme version analyte. Warning time refers to the time that a sample may be held before a warning can be given that it needs to be prepared or analysed (for example, before the sample deteriorates). Warning Time needs to be equal or less than Holding Time.

    For a sample scheme with no precursor scheme, warning time is counted from the earliest of the sample's Received On or Sampled On date-time.

    For a sample scheme with a precursor scheme, warning time is counted from the Completed Date (date-time) of the precursor scheme.

  • Spreadsheet Formula

    The formula used to calculate the result of this analyte.

    Formulas that are entered into the Spreadsheet Formula field in the CCSCHMVERANA—Scheme Version Analyte application are locked for update in the CCWKOP—Open Workbook application if the AUTO_LOCK_FORMULAS application preference is checked. If the ALLOW_UNLOCK_FORMULAS application preference is checked, you may, however, unlock the cell, or a group of cells, unless locking is due to another issue, for example, workflow status that lock cells.The Test button on this tab attempts to validate the spreadsheet formula for basic syntax errors. Refer to Appendix—Workbook Formulas and Functions.

  • Scripts

    A spreadsheet formula can also contain a script that contains functions to be used in cell formulas. A script function can be incorporated into the formula with the format:

    = AI(ScriptCode, Function, [Argument1], [Argument2].... )

    where the number of arguments is not limited.

    For example:

    = AI("SCRIPT_CODE_MDE", "CalcBestResult", AAS1.CU, AAS1.PB, "BEST", 3)

    where:

    SCRIPT_CODE_MDE is the code of the script

    CalcBestResult is the function within the script

    AAS1.CU is the first argument (passed in value from current row)

    AAS1.PB is the second argument (passed in value from current row)

    BEST is the third parameter

    3 is the fourth parameter.

  • Apply Correction Factor

    Only displayed for, and relevant to, analytes that have an Analytical Type of Analyte. Indicates whether a result for this analyte is corrected for weights and volumes that are entered for a sample scheme during a weight/volume workbook session. The weights and volumes are pushed from the related sample scheme's analytes that have an Analytical Type of Preparation Weight and Preparation Volume, respectively, when the Correction Applied is selected for the scheme.

  • Auto Average Readings

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents whether readings for the analyte are averaged. This property can be used in logic when applying the script that is specified in the CALCULATE_FROM_READINGS application preference.

  • Internal Lower DL

    The iower detection limit of the analyte, that is, the lowest acceptable value in the detection range, and tied to the instrument's or human's ability to detect amounts. There is generally no confidence in values that read below the internal lower detection limit.

  • Internal Upper DL

    Upper detection limit of the analyte, that is, the highest acceptable value in the detection range, and tied to the instrument's or human's ability to detect amounts. There is generally no confidence in values that read above the internal upper detection limit as the amount is so great, a more reliable test is required to determine it.

  • Internal Lower DL Critical

    Indicates whether to set the Workflow Status of an unknown sample scheme analyte to Check after a detection limit assessment of the result sets the Internal Detection Limit Status to Lower Failure when the result falls below the internal lower detection limit. Default is checked.

  • Internal Upper DL Critical

    Indicates whether to set the Workflow Status of an unknown sample scheme analyte to Check after a detection limit assessment of the result sets the Internal Detection Limit Status to Upper Failure when the result falls above the internal upper detection limit. Default is checked.

  • Lower Template Sample Code

    The default template sample for a sample scheme analyte's Lower Template Sample Code that can be registered on the sample if the sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status is Check due to the result being above the Internal Upper DL and the Internal Lower DL Critical is selected.

  • Upper Template Sample Code

    The default template sample for a sample scheme analyte's Upper Template Sample Code that can be registered on the sample if the sample scheme analyte's Workflow Status is Check due to the result being below the Internal Upper DL and the Internal Upper DL Critical is selected.

  • Upper Scheme Code

    If a Workflow Status of Check arises due to a sample scheme analyte's result being above the Internal Upper DL and the Internal Upper DL Critical is selected, and you have selected a flow to run the activateUpperCheck Workbook session method via some main or right-click menu option, then the Upper Scheme Code and the Upper Analyte Code is passed to the method and used to locate the "upper" sample scheme analyte.

    Note: If the AUTO_ACTIVATE_UPPER_SCHEME application preference is checked, then the activateUpperCheck Workbook Session method is called automatically.

  • Upper Analyte Code

    If a Workflow Status of Check arises due to a sample scheme analyte's result being above the Internal Upper DL and the Internal Upper DL Critical is selected, and you have selected a flow to run the activateUpperCheck Workbook session method via some main or right-click menu option, then the Upper Scheme Code and the Upper Analyte Code is passed to the method and used to locate the "upper" sample scheme analyte.

    Note: If the AUTO_ACTIVATE_UPPER_SCHEME application preference is checked, then the activateUpperCheck Workbook Session method is called automatically.

  • Precision Script

    A script that allows for assessment of precision for duplicates and replicates on an analyte-wide basis, used when analytes measure different precision in different parts of the analytical processes. A script may be selected from the drop-down list that contains active scripts in scope with a Script Type of Duplicate, as configured in the CCSCRT—Script application. Click the field hyperlink to display the CCSCRT—Search Script screen, select the appropriate value and click Select and Return to populate the field with the selected value.

  • Rep Statistical Detection Limit

    The statistical detection limit for replicate QC samples, used in precision assessment and in the rounding of a final result to produce a formatted final result.

    The statistical detection limit (SDL) is the numeric value that the testing can statistically determine as being present. Any result less than this value, statistically cannot be sure to exist. For example, if the SDL is 5 ppm, then statistically (over many measurements) the laboratory cannot say with confidence that a result of less than 5 ppm is actually present. This is different to the Internal DL or Reporting DL, as this is based on a single reading of a result.

    This attribute is also used to set defaults for specification scheme version analyte limits.

    • Internal Percentage Warning Value = 1.96 / 3.09 x ( ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Internal Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Internal Percentage Failure = (100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Internal Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Report Percentage Warning Value = 1.96 / 3.09 x ( ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Report Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Report Percentage Failure Value = ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Report Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability

  • Rep Limiting Repeatability

    The limiting repeatability for replicate QC samples, used in precision assessment and in the rounding of a final result to produce a formatted final result.

    The limiting repeatability is the numeric value (as a percentage) that the test would be able to reproduce. For example if LR is 5%, then typically results for pairs of results at higher concentrations should be between 5% of each other.

    This attribute is also used to set defaults for specification scheme version analyte limits.

    • Internal Percentage Warning Value = 1.96 / 3.09 x ( ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Internal Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Internal Percentage Failure = (100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Internal Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Report Percentage Warning Value = 1.96 / 3.09 x ( ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Report Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability)
    • Report Percentage Failure Value = ( 100 x scheme version analyte's Rep Statistical Detection Limit / Report Target Value ) + scheme version analyte's Rep Limiting Repeatability

  • Repeatability

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents the observed variation in the measurement of a replicate QC sample and its original sample due to the pair of samples being analysed under varying conditions, that is, where both samples are prepared and read on the same instrument, by the same user, within a short amount of time, such that, any environmental variation is minimal and the only errors are due to the analytical process itself.

  • Repeatability Range Table Code

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents the range table from which to determine repeatability if the analyte's Repeatability is not defined, using script logic to apply a sliding scale based upon the result. A range table may be selected from the drop-down list that contains active range tables in scope, as configured in the CCRNGT—Range Table application. Click the field hyperlink to display the CCRNGT—Search Range Table screen, select the appropriate value and click Select and Return to populate the field with the selected value.

  • Dup Statistical Detection Limit

    The statistical detection limit for duplicate QC samples, used in precision assessment and in the rounding of a final result to produce a formatted final result. The statistical detection limit (SDL) is the numeric value that the testing can statistically determine as being present. Any result less than this value, statistically cannot be sure to exist. For example, if the SDL is 5 ppm, then statistically (over many measurements) the laboratory cannot say with confidence that a result of less than 5 ppm is actually present. This is different to the Internal DL or Reporting DL, as this is based on a single reading of a result.

  • Dup Limiting Repeatability

    The limiting repeatability for duplicate QC samples, used in precision assessment and in the rounding of a final result to produce a formatted final result. The limiting repeatability is the numeric value (as a percentage) that the test would be able to reproduce. For example if LR is 5%, then typically results for pairs of results at higher concentrations should be between 5% of each other.

  • Reproducibility

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents the reportable observed variation in the measurement of a duplicate QC sample and its original sample due to the pair of samples being analysed under changeable conditions, that is, where both samples are potentially prepared and read on different instruments, by different users, within a considerably long amount of time, such that, environmental variations are large and errors are due to the environment.

  • Reproducibility Range Table Code

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents the range table from which to determine reproducibility if the analyte's Reproducibility is not defined, using script logic to apply a sliding scale based upon the result.

    • UPPER LIMIT CRITICAL—Surrogate assessment is performed such that that:

      • If the result is greater than the Surrogate Recovery Upper Limit, then the Limit Status is set to Upper Failure.

      • I the result is less than or equal to the Surrogate Recovery Upper Limit, then the Limit Status is set to Passed.

    • LOWER LIMIT CRITICAL—Surrogate assessment is performed such that:

      • If the result is less than the Surrogate Recovery Upper Limit, then the Limit Status is set to Lower Failure.

      • If the result is greater than or equal to the Surrogate Recovery Lower Limit, then the Limit Status is set to Passed.

    • The result is for a sample that is linked to a product, and the sample is linked to a one or more specifications associated with the product, the product's Auto-validate is selected, and the product specifications are passed for the result.

    Where a sample scheme analyte is not released automatically, it must be released manually. When a sample scheme analyte achieves a Workflow Status of Released through either a manual or automatic process and the sample scheme analyte does not have a Composite QC Status containing one of the failure statuses, then a user can validate a result manually where the scheme is not linked to a section, or where the scheme is linked to a section and the section is not linked to a user group for result release, or where the scheme is linked to a section and the section is linked to a user group for result validation and the user is a member of the user group.

Reporting Tab

The reporting details for the scheme version analyte.

  • Reportable

    The default setting for a sample scheme analyte's Reportable check box which ultimately sets the reportability of the analyte in certificate report requests.

  • Accredited

    Indicates whether the analytical process used to derive a result for this analyte is included in the accreditation covered by the laboratory's accreditation bodies. Where the analyte's Analyte Type is Preparation Weight, Preparation Volume or Preparation Other, then the default value is false, otherwise the default value is true. This flag can be shown for a scheme version analyte in a workbook session, and included on reports.

  • Allow Report of Non-Validated Data

    No functional use in CCLAS. Represents whether results for this analyte that do not have a Workflow Status of Validated can be reported. This could be used to determine whether a result could be included on an internal report. A scheme also has an Allow Report of Non-Validated Data flag. Defaults to cleared.

  • Report Name

    The reportable name for the analyte. Defaults to Analyte Code, with the first character in uppercase and subsequent characters converted to lowercase for readability.

    A sample scheme analyte's Report Name defaults to the scheme version analyte's Report Name. When a report request is generated and the analyte is added to it, the report request scheme analyte's Report Name defaults to the sample scheme analyte's Report Name.

  • Report Sequence

    Analytes are added to a report request in the order in which they are registered in the job. However, the business may wish to always place a particular analyte on a report ahead of any other scheme or analyte on the job, regardless of registration sequence. A report script would need to contain logic to use the analyte's Report Sequence to do this. A scheme also has a Report Sequence.

  • Report Description

    The reportable description of the analyte.

    A sample scheme analyte's Report Description defaults to the scheme version analyte's Report Description. A report request scheme analyte's Report Description defaults to the sample scheme analyte's Report Description.

    Numeric Display Mask acceptable by CCLAS

    Character

    Description

    None

    Displays the number with no formatting.

    (0)

    Digit placeholder. Displays a digit or a zero. If the expression has a digit in the position where the zero appears in the format string, display it; otherwise, displays a zero in that position.

    If the number has fewer digits than there are zeros (on either side of the decimal) in the format expression, displays leading or trailing zeros. If the number has more digits to the right of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the right of the decimal separator in the format expression, rounds the number to as many decimal places as there are zeros. If the number has more digits to the left of the decimal separator than there are zeros to the left of the decimal separator in the format expression, displays the extra digits without modification.

    (#)

    Digit placeholder. Displays a digit or nothing. If the expression has a digit in the position where the # character appears in the format string, displays it; otherwise, displays nothing in that position.

    This symbol works like the 0 digit placeholder, except that leading and trailing zeros aren't displayed if the number has fewer digits than there are # characters on either side of the decimal separator in the format expression.

    (.)

    Decimal placeholder. The decimal placeholder determines how many digits are displayed to the left and right of the decimal separator. If the format expression contains only # characters to the left of this symbol; numbers smaller than 1 begin with a decimal separator. To display a leading zero displayed with fractional numbers, use zero as the first digit placeholder to the left of the decimal separator. In some locales, a comma is used as the decimal separator. The actual character used as a decimal placeholder in the formatted output depends on the number format recognized by your system. Thus, You should use the period as the decimal placeholder in your formats even if you are in a locale that uses a comma as a decimal placeholder. The formatted string appears in the format correct for the locale.

    (,)

    Thousand separator. The thousand separator separates thousands from hundreds within a number that has four or more places to the left of the decimal separator. Standard use of the thousand separator is specified if the format contains a thousand separator surrounded by digit placeholders (0 or #). A thousand separator immediately to the left of the decimal separator (whether or not a decimal is specified) or as the rightmost character in the string means "scale the number by dividing it by 1,000, rounding as needed."

    For example, you can use the format string "##0,." to represent 100 million as 100,000. Numbers smaller than 1,000 but greater or equal to 500 are displayed as 1, and numbers smaller than 500 are displayed as 0. Two adjacent thousand separators in this position scale by a factor of 1 million, and an additional factor of 1,000 for each additional separator.

    Multiple separators in any position other than immediately to the left of the decimal separator or the rightmost position in the string are treated simply as specifying the use of a thousand separator. In some locales, a period is used as a thousand separator. The actual character used as the thousand separator in the formatted output depends on the Number Format recognized by your system. Thus, You should use the comma as the thousand separator in your formats even if you are in a locale that uses a period as a thousand separator. The formatted string appears in the format correct for the locale.

    (E e)

    Scientific format. If the format expression contains at least one digit placeholder (0 or #) to the left of E, or e the number is displayed in scientific format and E or e is inserted between the number and its exponent. The number of digit placeholders to the left determines the number of digits in the exponent. You must also include digit placeholders to the right of this symbol to get correct formatting.

    -+$()

    Literal characters. These characters are displayed exactly as typed in the format string. To display a character other than one of those listed, precede it with a backslash (\) or enclose it in double quotation marks (" ").

    (\)

    Displays the next character in the format string. To display a character that has special meaning as a literal character, precede it with a backslash (\). The backslash itself isn't displayed. Using a backslash is the same as enclosing the next character in double quotation marks. To display a backslash, use two backslashes (\\).

    Examples of characters that can't be displayed as literal characters are the date-formatting and time-formatting characters (a, c, d, h, m, n, p, q, s, t, w, y, /, and :), the numeric-formatting characters (#, 0, %, E, e, comma, and period), and the string-formatting characters (@, &, <, >, and !).

    ("ABC")

    Displays the string inside the double quotation marks (" "). To include a string in the style argument from within code, you must use Chr(34) to enclose the text (34 is the character code for a quotation mark (")).

    Example:

    The following table contains some sample format expressions for numbers. (These examples all assume that your system's locale setting is English-U.S.) The first column contains the format strings for the Style argument of the Format function; the other columns contain the resulting output if the formatted data has the value given in the column headings.
