Monthly reports are auto-generated by the LabLogs system. They send a Notification to the first user in the Sign-off Chain. The user can then Sign Off on a Monthly Report. Before signing off the report each tab on the left of the report should be reviewed. Any corrective actions should be noted before signing off the report. Only the first person on the sign-off chain can add corrective actions.

Report Summary

The Report Summary page includes your 3 month Compliance Scores, and your QA alerts for the month. Your total for Failures, Non-Compliant Events, Service Reports, Date Changes and Corrective Actions is displayed. Next is a breakdown of Compliance scores by each instrument. At the end of this page, you can Add Corrective Actions. This page also allows you to export the monthly report to a PDF file.

Maintenance Logs

The Maintenance Logs page shows the same breakdown as the Report Summary Page but it applies to the specific instrument displayed on the page. Select the “Next” button at the top or bottom of the page to toggle between instruments. Each Instrument should be reviewed for areas of interest. All results and comments can be viewed by clicking on the symbol or number inside each box. Results can also be reviewed in the list below the calendar. There is a toggle switch to view just Alerts or All Details.

Compliance Reviews

The Compliance Reviews page will be where each of your Tasks that were completed by selecting “Confirm the miss”. These are the events that count against your monthly compliance scores.

Bench / Unit List

The Bench / Unit List page gives you a breakdown of Failures, Non-Compliant Events, Service Reports, Date Changes, and Corrective Actions per Bench / Unit.

Instrument List

The Instrument List page give you a list of each of your Instruments by Instrument Type. This list includes the Instrument’s serial number (if entered) and the Bench/Unit it is listed under.

Users

The Users page gives you a list of Users and the amount of Events Logged for the month. It also lists how many Loggers the user Logged. (If Open Logging is enabled on your system.) This is good data to support competency documentation.

Attachments

The Attachments page allows you to add files of supporting documents for the monthly report. Example: A disciplinary action for an employee was taken and you wanted to add this form or Package inserts for a new Instrument, Control or kit need to be uploaded to support the validation process.

Signatures

The Signatures page is where a user in the sign-off chain would go to sign-off the monthly report. It’s also where other users can see when the report was signed.
