Adding / Editing Test Requests

Open the Test Request Editor (either click Add or Edit on the Testing Register screen)

 

The Test Request Editor has four tabs: Test Request Details, ITP Information, Test / Reporting, Documents.

 

Test Request Details

The Test Request Details tab has four main sections: Lot Information, Test Supplier Details, Key Dates and Responsibility

 

Lot Information Entry

These fields are completed at the time the Test Request is created

The Test Request Number is automatically generated and cannot be manually changed.

 

Field

Required

Description

Test Request Number


This is the Test Request Number that is automatically generated by QAntrol. This is a sequential number that is validated at the server at the time of saving the record. Because of this the number that is first shown in the Editor when adding a new Test Request may be changed at the time of saving the record. This should not present a problem as you cannot print or email the Test Request until it is saved.

Use Multiple Lots


If this is ticked then the Test Request relates to more than one Lot and the user is given the option to select multiple lots from a list.

When ticked the Lot Information fields are replaced by a grid showing the lots selected, and two buttons 'Add' and 'Remove' are shown to add and remove selected lots.
