Facilitates all Aspects of Product Testing Test Methods Test Plans Product Testing Product Specs CoA    QDMS White Paper Product Testing The Sample Summary is the Lab's "to-do" list, showing all Samples that require testing. Samples requiring testing can be filtered by: Operation, Test (e.g. show all Samples requiring a pH), and Show All (default). Additionally, the Sample Search provides easy access to all samples from any product or lot number. Samples can also be sorted (ascending & decending) by clicking any of the column headings. Double-clicking on a desired sample launches the Test Results window.   Test Results The Test Results window is the primary interface where test results are entered. This window is organized into three sections:   1. Job Information Frame - Product, lot, and customer information from the Job Master table.   2. Sample Information Frame - Sample information from the Sample Creation step.   3. Test Results Tabs - Organizes test result entry by Test Type: Testing Summary Tab: Summarizes (by Test Type) the status of all Tetsts required for the chosen Sample. Also enables disposition assignment for users with proper credentials. Attribute Testing Tab: Enables the technician to enter attribute test results.  Variable Testing Single Input Tab: Enables the technician to enter variable test results where the spec is based on a single value. Variable Testing Multi Input Tab: Enables the technician to enter variable test results where the spec is based on the average or range of multiple values. QDMS even accomodates testing from multiple locations on the same sample (e.g. left, middle, right). Add Comments Enables technicians to record comments regarding the testing process. View Comments enables users to see all comments associated with the sample. For each required test, QDMS provides the Test Name, Method Number, Test Number, and Specifications. Warning Limits can also be displayed. Once a test is performed, QDMS shows who did the test and when it was completed. The Method Number can be hyperlinked to display the applicable SOP. Test results that are out of warning limits are highlighted with a yellow background. Test results that are out of specification are highlighted with a red background. Test results that are within specification are highlighted with green text. Re-Testing: Re-testing a product sample is initiated by right-clicking on a desired test and selecting "Re-test." In such cases, the Test Number will increment to 2. An unlimited number of re-tests can be perfromed. The last re-test result is the value that appears on an applicable CoA. Ad-Hoc Testing: Additional tests (not already included on the Test Plan) may be added to any sample by clicking on the Add Test button in the icon bar. The results for "added" tests do not appear on a CoA. Test Deletion: Required tests can be deleted, with proper security, by clicking on the Remove Test icon. Deleting a test from a sample does not permanently remove the test from the Test Plan.
