Assigning Samples to a Worklist

As samples complete tasks they are assigned to a worklist corresponding to the next protocol in a method. The assignment of samples to worklists can take place at the time of completion of a task or at a later point via the project management screen. Using the project management screen to assign tasks allows managers to maintain tighter controls over the progress of samples.

To assign samples to a worklist, follow these steps:

  1. Display the project and select one or more samples from the same column .
    Note: Use the Select drop down button to quickly select a group of samples.
  2. Click the Worklist button from the Send To group . The Send To Worklist dialog box appears.
