Samples List Tools

A typical procedure for generating the initial sample list would be as follows:

• If you are using a customised query, check the list generated by the query and remove samples that are not required.

A substitution parameter can be used to include samples that have already been despatched. This may be necessary when a despatch, or samples, needs to be resent.

• Use the Find tool above the list of selected samples to filter the list by matching the samples to a search stringch for a particular sample or group of samples.



• Alternatively, click the Advanced Search button above the sample list to open the Advanced Search dialog:

• Select one or more projects and other options as appropriate.

• Review the sample list and remove all unwanted samples.

To sort the sample list in ascending or descending order based on the contents of a given column, click on the appropriate column header.
