As a Laboratory user, you can update information on multiple matched samples in the SM module using the same CSV/XML file currently used to upload lab results into ADAMS. This importing functionality also allows you to:
-
Update the Long-Term Storage (LTS) status of a matched sample
-
Update the Storage Location of a matched sample
-
Create/update Quick Turnaround Analysis (QTA) requests of a matched sample
-
Confirm that QTA was completed by updating Lab Results/Comments to QTA requests
How to update/confirm LTS/QTA requests via a Lab Result import file:
- Log into ADAMS using your Laboratory user credentials.
- Select Import Analytical Result File from the main menu if you wish to import new lab results. If you wish to update existing lab results with new information, select Update Analytical Results.
- Choose and Import file for new lab results. For updating existing lab results, locate the file of batch lab results. You may use the search function or advanced filters to find your lab results of interest.
The following columns were added to the Lab Result Import file and can be used to capture and update information on the samples:
-
lts_requested(yes / no)
-
lts_stored(yes / no)
-
lts_request_date(if not provided, use the import date)
-
lts_storage_location(shortName of the lab, if empty, use the lab that’s doing the import/update)
-
lts_stored_until(if not provided, use 10 years after the request date)
-
lts_reason
-
qta_requested(yes / no)
-
qta_request_date(if not provided, use the import date)
-
qta_comments
After the import of the CSV/XML, matched samples will be updated the following day in your SM dashboard. The sample changes will be instantly visible in the SM dashboard only if you perform an update of the lab result.
