We’ve recently rolled out some updates to Achiever functionality.
The first is that, similarly to the previous update allowing backdating of checking-in samples, you can now backdate checked-out samples.
We have also added a new field to the sample screen to accommodate the needs of some of our new users. ‘Viability %’ is optional and takes a number value.
Finally, and more noticeably we have altered the wording of the process formerly known as depletion. There was potential for this to cause confusion as many users do not expect depletion of a sample to mean that there is nothing left (ie they are just using a portion of the sample). Therefore this term has been renamed to ‘used up’ to confirm its original intent that the entire sample will be no longer available for storage or use. Alongside this, other sample workflows have been changed slightly to adhere to a more consistent convention. Sample workflows selected from anywhere within Achiever, such as the collection, participant, study or sample itself should be named uniformly.
Please be aware that while these changes do appear on the Live system, the Training environment has not yet been refreshed, so won’t feature some of these changes. The Training environment will be updated in due course.
