Overview

Sample registration by type involves the creation and profiling of a sample tests, and its job if it does not exist.

The sample registration by type environment is configured by the LIMS administrator to limit access, configure query forms, and to customise the process.

This process is pertinent to LIMS and laboratory managers who configure the LIMS, and registration sessions in particular.

Process

Configuring Access to the Sample Type Application

Ensure the SamReg.exe file is located in the folder defined by the ExeDirectory GLOBAL setting. Give users, or users with specific roles, access to the application by setting the AccessLevel SAMREG program setting. Once a user has sufficient access rights, they can run the Sample Type application directly from the CCLAS Exe folder.

To display tips to users upon start up of the Jobs application, enable the ShowTipOfTheDay SAMREG program setting, and enter the tips, with one tip per line, in a file, place the file in a folder under the CCLAS root folder defined by the CCLASRootDirectory GLOBAL setting, then set the TipofTheDayFile SAMREG program setting to the folder and file name, for example %CCLASRootDirectory%TIPS\PROFILE.TIP.

To maintain the window size and position between closing and launching the Sample Type application, set the Window SAMREG program setting.

Configuring Sample Type Search

To present the list-view panel with grid lines, enable the MainListViewGrid SAMREG program setting.

Set the MainListViewColumnn SAMREG program settings to specify which columns from the PROFJOB_CUID table are presented in the grid.

Set the AutoRefreshDelay SAMREG program setting to the interval after which the display is automatically refreshed.

To filter sample types on field criteria:

Set the Criterian SAMREG program settings to specify the column filtering properties using the PROFJOB_CUID table, and set the CurrentCriteria SAMREG program setting to default the current criteria.
To enable the Properties main menu option to allow users to update the criteria, enable the AllowProperties SAMREG program setting.

Customising Sample Registration by Type

Sample registration by type often requires custom registration forms which are tailored to a laboratory's requirements.

Construct these forms with the necessary VBScript and place them in the folder defined by the ConfigDirectory GLOBAL setting. Then set the ScreenFilen SAMREG program settings to the comma-separated list of file names to make them available under the New main menu option in the Sample Type application.
