    • ABS (Absolute)—The full number of QC spike samples are placed amongst the last group of samples.
    • PRO (Pro-rata)—A pro-rata number of QC spike samples are placed amongst the last group of samples.
  • QC spike selection—The method used to select the original unknown samples for spiking. Inherited from the scheme. Either:
    • RND (Random)—Samples are randomly selected from the spike sample group.
    • BEG (Beginning)—Samples are selected from the beginning of the spike sample group.
    • END—Samples are selected from the end of the spike sample group.
  • QC spike position(s)—The comma-delimited positions in which to place each QC spike sample within the sample group. A position must be specified for each Number qc spikes. Inherited from the scheme. Either:
    • IMM (Immediate)—QC spike samples are placed immediately after the original sample.
    • END—QC spike samples are placed at the end of each sample group.
• Replicate placement:
  • Number replicates—The number of replicate samples placed in each sample group of size Replicate blocksize. Inherited from the scheme.
  • Replicate blocksize—The number of unknown samples in the sample group, for replicate sample placement. Inherited from the scheme.

    • END—Samples are selected from the end of the replicate sample group.
  • Replicate position(s)—The comma-delimited positions in which to place each replicate sample within the sample group. A position must be specified for each Number replicates. Inherited from the scheme. Either:
    • IMM (Immediate)—Replicate samples are placed immediately after the original sample.
    • END—Replicate samples are placed at the end of each sample group.
• Number rereads—The number of reread samples for each sample. Inherited from the scheme.
• Number hours—The number of hours used to determine the price for the job scheme on an invoice, where the Price code has an HLY (hourly) price type.
• Price code—Only relevant where the scheme's Price type is SCH, HLY or SMP. The price code used to price sample scheme line items during invoicing, where the scheme is registered on a job using the procedure. Inherited from the scheme.
• Price—The fixed price of the scheme, where the scheme is registered on a job using the procedure.
• Procedure code—The code of the procedure, if one was used to register the scheme on the job.

Files tab:

• Required—The date-time at which the job scheme report is due, calculated by default using the job's priority.
• Priority—The priority used to determine the relative priority of the job scheme compared to other job schemes, used to schedule sample analysis in the laboratory. 1=high, 99=low. Inherited from the scheme. The PriorityUnitGLOBAL setting defines the priority units.
• Started—The date-time at which the job scheme's preparation or analysis started.
• Completed—The date-time at which the job scheme's preparation or analysis completed.
• First reported—The date-time at which the results of the job scheme were first reported.
• Last reported—The date-time at which the results of the job scheme were last reported.
• Validated—The date-time at which the results of the job scheme were validated.
• Validated by—The user who validated the results of the job scheme.
• Finalised—The date-time at which the results of the job scheme were finalised.
• Finalised by—The user who finalised the results of the job scheme.
• Standard file contents—The contents of the Scheme.STD file comprising the QC standard sample types used for standard placement, where the scheme is registered on a job using the procedure.
• Blank file contents—The contents of the Scheme.BLK file comprising the blank sample types used for blank placement, where the scheme is registered on a job using the procedure.
• Spike file contents—The contents of the Scheme.SPK file comprising the QC spike sample types uses for spike placement, where the scheme is registered on a job using the procedure.
• Link scheme code—The parent job scheme that determines the quality control applied to the scheme thereby overriding the job scheme's own quality control details, and the scheme that typically has weights and volumes entered in the Data Entry application and passed to this job scheme. Note that the link only functions where used with an ANA (Analytical) scheme that allows for sample weights.
