Adding maintenance tasks can be done when creating a new instrument type or editing a current instrument's tasks. First follow the steps in the links below. Then when you are ready refer back to this page if you need to add a maintenance task that is linked to a reagent or control.
The purpose of linking a task to a reagent or control is to add data fields to the lot. If you need to run QC on a lot, and lot specific data needs to be recorded, this is where you add those fields and all the possible values. When you add the lot you select which values are acceptable (pass) and which are not (fail).
Before you begin the steps below you should have already added the names of your Reagents or Controls when the instrument type was added. If not select the link above to Add a New Instrument.
Steps to Add a Maintenance Task that is Linked to a Reagent or Control:
1. If you haven't already, add the name of the Reagent or Control this task is to be linked to using this article if needed. Add a Control/Reagent
2. Select the "+ Add Maintenance Task" button
3. Enter the name of the task to be completed
4. Add a note if necessary, this note will appear under the task for the user when task is selected to be marked as complete
5. Select the fixed schedule or frequency of the task from the drop down list (if the frequency you need is not listed please email ELL at support@lablogs.co with the desired frequency)
6. Check the box if this task Affects Compliance (check is defaulted)
7. From the dropdown box next to "Task Links to" select the correct reagent or control
8. Add the Data Field/s for this task (use the links below for more help)
9. When you link tasks to a reagent or control you will not define the acceptable values until you enter in the Lot number as a user
10. Select "Save Task"
11. When you have finished editing the instrument select "Finish"
