Wavefront LIMS - Test Management Module

Configure Tab: Lab Administrator

The Test Management section in the Configure Tab in LIMS is where a Lab Administrator goes to add new tests and edit existing tests. Along with system fields that are built into Wavefront LIMS, LIMS Administrators can create user defined test definition fields and test fields. These fields are useful to capture the entire work flow of the lab.

Form Section:

Create New Tests in LIMS– Create brand new tests in LIMS

• Copy Test- Use an existing LIMS test as a starting point for a new test

System Field Functions– System fields are fields built into Wavefront LIMS. These fields can be turned off if they do no apply to your lab.

• Alternate Test Name– Gives LIMS admin a way to completely describe the test or create a name for reporting purposes
• Default Dilution Factor– Determine a default dilution factor for each test
• Method of Analysis– Record the Method of Analysis for a test
• Procedure Document– Attach or link procedure documents for easy access for LIMS users
• Default User Assign– Default a LIMS user to be assigned to a specific test

Test Definition Fields’ Functions–  LIMS Administrator can add these fields on the Test Management Screen in the Configure Tab to capture information about a test that is specific to their lab:

• User Defined Fields you create that are specific to your implementation
• These properties do no change from Sample to Sample
• Classify tests for a certain purpose. Example: Create a field called “Department” and group tests together for reporting or searching purposes
• These fields only show up for LIMS Administrators when in Configure Tab
