Header

Organisation Scope

Indicates whether this entity is available organisation-wide or laboratory-wide.
- Checked—The entity is available to users who are logged into any laboratory within the organisation.
- Unchecked—The entity is only available to users who are logged into the current laboratory.
Setting the specification's scope upon successful creation depends upon the user's security level for the CCSPECIFICATION:CREATE resource. The possible security levels for the resource, from greater scope to lower scope, are:
- full—full
- 3—LAB AND ORG
- 2—ORG ONLY
- 1—LAB ONLY
A user can have multiple roles, and each role can contain different rights. Any of these role-right combinations may contain the resource.

If the resource does not exist across all role-right combinations for the user, then the user has no access to the resource. Otherwise the user's security level for the resource is determined as the greatest scope across all role-right combinations for the user. For example, if a user has Role1 that contains RightA, and Right A contains security level 2 for the resource, and the same user has Role2 that contains RightB, and RightB contains security level 1 for the resource, then the user has a security level of 2 for the resource.

The selection in this field can determine the visibility for other fields in this form, and the content of various drop-down selection lists.

Specification Type

The specification type denotes the use of the specification:
- Product—Product Specifications use
- Scheme—Scheme Limit Specification use
- Standard—Standard Lot Specification use.
Status

The status of the specification. Display only. This can be:
- Draft—The specification is under development.
- Active—The specification is ready for use by the laboratories in scope, for linking from scheme limits, standard specifications, product specifications, or sample specifications.
- Suspended—The specification is no longer available for use.
Status Changed Date

The date-time at which the last change was made to the status of the entity. Display only.
Status Changed Reason

The reason for the change in status. Display only.
User Code

The code of the user who changed the status. Display only.
Report Name

The reportable name of the specification.
Report Description

The reportable description of the specification.
Specification Title

The title of the specification.
Specification URL

The URL to access more information about the specification.
Release Date

The date-time at which the specification was released for use.
Is Auto Promoted

Indicates whether the specification is returned from a specification search in which the Is Auto Promoted search criteria is checked. Note that this specification search criteria can only be used in conjunction with a Specification Type of Scheme.
Evaluation Script

The code of the script run during a scheme limit assessment, standard assessment or specification assessment to perform custom assessment based on the specification. A script may be selected from the drop-down list that contains active scripts in scope with a Script Type of Specification, 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.

Specification Limits Tab

Specification limits for individual scheme version analyte units. Internal and report target values can be updated in the grid. Upon submission, the related fields are recalculated. When the Limit Check Method is Relative, then the limits (for QC standards) are calculated automatically based upon values in the scheme version analyte properties.

The internal and external limits for a specification are optional. During QC assessment using specification, if the internal limits are not defined then they are not tested. During reporting, if the reportable limits are not defined then they are not tested.

A specification can have a pass, warning and/or fail statement for use in reporting.

Specification Scheme Analyte Search Criteria
- Tab flows
  - Submit—Perform a search for specification scheme analytes using the entered search criteria and display the results in the grid.

- Limit Check Method
  
  The method by which the limits are entered:
  - Absolute
  - Relative
  - List
  - By Script (Reserved for future use)
  Different fields display depending on the option. If the Limit Check Method is either Absolute or Relative, then numeric fields are optional.
  
  During the update of a standard Specification type, if the Limit Check Method is toggled between Relative and Absolute, then all values for the numeric fields are preserved regardless of whether they are visible on the UI.
  
  During the update of a standard specification type, if the Limit Check Method is Absolute, then all the numeric fields can be manually edited including those that are previously calculated.
  
  If the Limit Check Method is Relative, then the values in the non-displayed fields are preserved.
