We have recently made a few changes to Achiever:
Clinical Data
Users have been using the ‘Diseases’ functionality of Achiever to store Clinical and Episodic data related to a specific disease. The value of creating custom forms to store data combined with the potential to link these episodic datasets to groups of samples is useful for more than just specific diseases. Therefore we have re-captioned this section as ‘Clinical Data’. All functionality remains the same, but please be aware of the new terminology. The previous workflow to link a sample to Disease/Episode is now known as ‘Link to Clinical Episode’.
Participant Grid Hyperlinks
Up to now, users have needed to scroll the collection participant grid in order to view the ‘status’ field and click the hyperlink to open a participant record. Now the first column ‘Participant ID’ is available as a more suitable hyperlink to open the participant record. In addition we have made the External Reference column a hyperlink which will go straight to the donor record.
Collection Information
Individual collection information forms which were previously visible depending on the value of the collection type field (eg Clinical Trial Information, Research Tissue Bank Information) have been merged into a single ‘Additional Information’ form. This allows fields to be displayed if they have data in, even if the collection type value changes.
If you have any questions or comments please let the team know. The Training environment will be refreshed with these changes in due course.
