Files tab:

• Required—The date-time at which the job scheme report is due, calculated by default using the job's priority.

• 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.
