Work order

A work order with the whole job on one screen

The work order brings together the job's samples, analyses, containers, consumables, equipment and documents. Stages follow the workflow configured by the laboratory, and changes stay in the history with user and date.

What you'll find in this area

Each job's stage in the list

The work order list shows which stage each job is in, such as scheduling, sampling, laboratory or signature. Filters help find what is stalled.

The job gathered in one work order

Samples, analyses, containers, consumables, equipment, inspection and history sit in tabs of the work order itself.

Workflow configured by the laboratory

The laboratory defines the stages and transitions of the work order flow. The system takes each job along that path.

Documents generated from the work order

Labels, sampling plan, analysis worksheets and subcontracting document are generated with the work order's data, as PDF. The list can also be exported to PDF or Excel.

Scheduled recurring sampling

Sampling plans with a calendar and frequency generate work orders automatically on the scheduled dates.

Work order change history

Changes are recorded with user and date and can be checked in the history tab.

Two-step cancellation

Cancellation requires a reason and a supervisor's confirmation. While the request is pending, it can be reverted.

Documents that come from the work order

When you select the work order in the list, the documents menu generates what the laboratory needs to print or send, with the data already filled in.

Labels

Labels for every sample and container on the work order, as barcode or QR, in the layout of the laboratory's printer.

Analysis worksheets and sampling plan

The analysis worksheet can be grouped by work order, by sample or for a subcontractor. The sampling plan also comes from the work order, as PDF.

Subcontracting

When a parameter goes to another laboratory, the subcontracting document lists the sample and the parameters it will receive.

Frequently asked questions

Can I adapt the work order flow to my laboratory's routine?

Yes. The laboratory defines the stages and transitions of the flow. Configuration is done during implementation and can be revised later.

Can recurring sampling work orders be generated automatically?

Yes. The sampling plan sets the calendar and frequency, and the system generates each work order on the scheduled date. The sampling method and plan are defined by the laboratory.

How do I check what happened to a job?

The work order's history tab shows changes with user and date. Each sample also has its own timeline.

Can I undo a cancellation?

Yes, until the supervisor confirms. After confirmation, the reason stays in the history.
