For 21CFR11 environments, this section is applicable only to members of the Developer group, however, members of the Analyst group may find information in this section helpful. Sample file information that is available to Analysts is created by a member in the Developer group using information in this section. |
Each analysis must be linked with a sample file before the analysis can proceed. A sample file can consist of parameter files; however, parameter files can also stand alone. See Parameter Files.
The values specified in the parameter portions of the default sample file are saved as the defaults for new sample files. To navigate from one set of parameters to another, select the parameter tab across the top of the window.
The Basic and Restricted formats use predefined parameter files to create a sample file.
When using the Basic option presentation, switch to Advanced to edit parameter file values. When using the Restricted option presentation, parameter files cannot be edited. |
A bar code reader may be used to enter text into many of the fields on the Sample Description window. Use a mouse to click in the field first where information is to be entered then scan the bar code with the bar code reader. |
