Entering a Result
Set
N.B.
To
complete this procedure you must have a completed room form, and the matching
plates / results. This feature may have been disabled if you are using the Book
In section of the system.
From the Enter Results Form click the Enter Results button.
In the New Result Set dialog, enter the Result Set ID (at the top of the completed room form), and select the date you want to enter results for (also on the completed room form). Finally click the Create Result Set button to continue.
If a Result Set for this Date has already been entered and released, the system will automatically un-release the existing results. However you must use a Super User login to do this.
The new Result Set will display in the Enter Results Frame. The Results Set plates will match with the plate you have on the completed room form.
Confirm that the Room Details at the top match up with the room details on your completed room form.
If the Room is a manufacturing room then you will also be asked to enter the product and batch number that relate to the results. The Manufacturing Product Information box will automatically display before you start entering results. From this box select the Product Code that has been made on that date and enter the Batch Number of the Product Code. Click the Update button to continue. N.B. If the results have been booked in and you need to change this you will need to right click any of the fields and select Override BookIn. You will also be forced to make a note of your change.
If at any point during Book In you need to change this information click the Product Information button to review this form.
To start entering the results, double click anywhere on the plates list. The Enter Results form will display. N.B. If room entry by Plate Number is enabled, then a dialog box will ask you to enter the plate number you want to enter the results for first, after closing each plate result you will be asked for the next plate number you would like to read.
The first plate in the list will be displayed in this form. You must then:
Select an Operator from the drop down list.
Select a Server from the drop down list (multiple operators must be enabled for this to display.)
Enter the Batch Number of the plate. (if this is a book in, there may be multiple batch options to choose from.)
Enter the Number of Growths counted on the plate, alternatively if there are too many growths to count then tick the TNC option.
For settle plates enter the exposure time.
If there are more than 0 growths then you need to enter a description of the growths.
Click
the button with three dots on next to the results box. This will display the
Add Growths Form.
From the drop down list select the growth type, and enter the quantity in the quantity column. By default the growth type list only shows the default growth types. To show all click the Show All Growths checkbox at the bottom of the form.
If you
need to enter multiple growth types, right click on the form and select Add
Growth from the drop down list. This will add a new row and allow you to
enter more growth details.
Once
the form is completed click the Save button. At this point the Results text
box will be updated with the growth details.
If the growth needs further identification before you can enter the growth details enter a unique id into the barcode box. This will allow you to enter the growth details later using the quick results form. The system will generate a unique ID for you automatically and print it onto a label by clicking the button with 3 dots next to the barcode box. N.B. This is normally used if you send results to a lab for ID.
If for any reason the plate has not been exposed or there are no records matching the plate then check the No Record checkbox. This can be used if you enter a result set using a room’s default instance. You can then create a custom room instance for a specific need.
If the optional feature of auto-barcode out of spec results is turned on a barcode will be automatically generated for the plate. The plate details will also show in Red to highlight this.
N.B. If any of the labels turn red and the next / previous buttons are disabled, this means that there has been an error and you cannot continue before you fix it. The errors are normally either that required information is missing, or that the growths counted and number of results do not match.
Having entered the entire result set click the close button at the bottom of the Enter Results Screen. This will return you to an overview of the results in the Enter Results form. If you need to modify any results, double click on the list to modify.
At the bottom of the Enter Results Screen the Batch Numbers of the plates will be shown separated by a comma.
Using the Notes button you can also add notes to the Result Set (See Notes).
Finally click the Save button on the top menu bar.
The Ready to Save dialog will ask for confirmation that all the details have been entered correctly. Click the Yes button to continue.
The Results Saved dialog will confirm that the Result Sets have been successfully saved. Click OK to continue.
If an exception report has been created the Exception Report Created dialog will show to alert you to this, and give you the Exception Report ID. Click OK to continue.
