Late analysis alerts
Up one level
In Bika's LIMS, lab managers assign a maximum period of time allowed for every analysis service. When any analysis spends longer than that in the lab, an alert is raised and displayed to all staff
When samples are received, the due date and time for each analysis requested for it is calculated using the maximum time set-up for it and the true working hours available from the Bika Calendar
When the due date is passed and the analysis result has not been published yet, it is listed at top right on all screens in a 'late analysis' portlet with very visual header
Clicking on an individual analysis will take the user to its analysis request where it can be investigated further or the client details be obtained from. A full report of all late analyses - the right hand column on this page also indicates how late the analyses are
