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.
Specify or change the option presentation by selecting Options > Option Presentation, or use the view selector drop-down list at the bottom of the window.
Sample files created in the Basic option presentation must be selected from parameter files created in the Advanced option presentation. The values specified in the parameter portions of the default method are 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 Degas Conditions tab displays only if enabled in Options > Option Presentation > Show Degas Conditions |
