Registering Samples by Type

Overview

The SamReg application allows for the registration of single samples using custom registration screens, and to register samples using Ident Rules in which a string of information is decoded into job and sample details. A custom registration screen is a CCLAS screen file that uses VBScript to manage the registration interface.

This process is pertinent to front office staff who register jobs, specifically those used for the analysis of process control samples.

Process

Sample registration by type is managed by the SamReg application.

All samples registered into CCLAS EL, not just those registered by sample type, display in the list-view panel. Samples are referenced by their common unique identifier (CUID).

Filter samples from a sample type search

Different types of unknown samples typically have their own custom registration screen. Pre-configured custom registration screens are located in the folder defined by the ConfigDirectory GLOBAL setting. The VBScript behind each custom registration screen typically updates a registered sample's PROFJOB_CUID.SCREENFILE field with the name of the custom registration screen.

Register samples by type

Where a registered sample's PROFJOB_CUID.SCREENFILE contains the name of the custom registration screen, when the sample is opened for update, then the same custom registration screen is used to present the sample details. If this field is empty, then the default SamRegEdit.SCR screen file located in the folder defined by the ConfigDirectory GLOBAL setting is used.

Update a sample of a specific type

Where required, samples may be deleted from the Sample Type application.
