&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Motivation==&lt;br /&gt;
We have been tormented by puns for way too long. Action must be taken!&lt;br /&gt;
I hereby bring to life a Fine Jar for puns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These rules come into effect from 10/06/2013 onwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is a pun?==&lt;br /&gt;
A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both oral and written puns will be considered.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
No distinction is drawn between intentional and unintentional puns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pun Jar fines system==&lt;br /&gt;
*Every pun incurs a 25c fine&lt;br /&gt;
*Every second pun for a working day incurs an additional 50c fine &lt;br /&gt;
*Every subsequent pun for the working day incurs an additional $1 fine&lt;br /&gt;
E.g. If Vaiju comes up with 3 puns on the first Tuesday of a calendar month, she incurs a $2.25 fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Every 5 puns per working week incurs an additional $1 fine&lt;br /&gt;
E.g. If Gavin&#039;s pun offending rate is as follows:-&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
04/06 (Tue): 2 puns&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
05/06 (Wed): 1 pun&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
06/06 (Thu): 3 puns&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
07/06 (Fri): 1 pun&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The fine he incurs is $4.75&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Every 10 puns per calendar month incurs an additional $2 fine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Monday Pun-day==&lt;br /&gt;
Monday is a free-for-all day i.e. no fines will be incurred for puns on Monday. If Monday is a public holiday then the pun-day is not transferred on to the next working day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Annual Reading of Puns Lunch==&lt;br /&gt;
Once a year the fines collected will be used to fund a lunch (as far as possible). During this lunch there will be a reading of the top 10 best and worst puns. Rules for the lunch are as follows:-&lt;br /&gt;
*The highest contributor (in monetary terms) gets to choose the venue for the lunch.&lt;br /&gt;
*$20 (from the pun fines) will be reserved for the highest contributor. The rest of the funds will be divided equally (among the remaining invitees) and be used for their lunch&lt;br /&gt;
*To be invited to the Annual Reading of Puns Lunch a minimum contribution of $5 (to be collected through pun fines) is required&lt;br /&gt;
==How to report a pun?==&lt;br /&gt;
*At least 2 people need to have witnessed the pun&lt;br /&gt;
*The pun needs to be reported to the Pun Sergeant (BT for now) via email on the day the pun was said to have been said. The following details need to be in the email:-&lt;br /&gt;
**Details of the pun&lt;br /&gt;
**Name of the offender&lt;br /&gt;
**Names of the witnesses&lt;br /&gt;
**Date, time and place of offence&lt;br /&gt;
Incorrect reporting of puns could result in the pun not being recorded.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Overview=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Often times, in the case of large organizations, customers are shared across labs. In such a case, it is advisable to set up all clients as &amp;quot;global&amp;quot; entries. This could lead to the issue of a large (and therefore bulky) list dropdown for all users from all labs. To avoid this problem and to keep the list drop-downs manageable, customers can be &amp;quot;nominated&amp;quot; against labs when they are added to the system. Thus even though all the client entries are global items, when the preferred lab option is set to True, and a sample/WO is being registerd for a particular lab, only those clients that have the selected lab being set/nominated as the preferred lab are shown in the drop downs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently when using a data filter to search for Samples or Documents users need to scroll through a considerably large list (for Client and Project lists in particular) to select the required items. This has been identified as being inconvenient. Existing functionality exists to reduce the length of similar fields based on Preferred Laboratories. It is suggested that this &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; functionality be extended to data filters as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Enabling Preferred Lab Status==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through the new list option management in the Administrator Console, lists are able to be set to include a &#039;preferred lab&#039; column. When using the list through a drop-down list box the user has the option (via a small toggle button on the right of the list) to show the list items which have the current laboratory as their preferred lab in addition to the normal list items. When the preferred laboratory option is not being used there is no visible change to lists. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enabling preferred lab status for a lab happens through the QLA. A detailed explanation on list configuration/options is available here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[QESTLab:Configuring_Lists_in_QESTLab#Preferred_Laboratory | Setting the Preferred Lab Status]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Using the Preferred Lab Status in QESTLab===&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have ticked the &amp;quot;Preferred Lab&amp;quot; for a particular list, as described in the section above, an additional column called &amp;quot;Preferred Lab&amp;quot; is available for that list. &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;You will not be able to see this column in the &#039;data entry view of this list&#039;. This column is only available in the spreadsheet interface for the list (available by toggling the data entry view present at the top, right hand corner of the list)&amp;quot; or in the grid below the data entry interface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PeferredLabs.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Setting Preferred Laboratory for Data Filters===&lt;br /&gt;
No change will be made to the way the option for &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; is set. The functionality being extended to Data Filters will use the existing option in the QEST Administrator Console which is accessed via QESTLab-&amp;gt;Configuration-&amp;gt;Lists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl2.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the option is set for a particular list then the Preferred Laboratory button will be accessible for that particular list in the data filters section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Data Filters section of the QESTLab screen will now include the &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; button for those lists which have the &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; option checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:111.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Preferred Laboratory button is &#039;&#039;&#039;OFF&#039;&#039;&#039; then local and global entries only are displayed. As shown in the images below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl5.jpg]] [[Image:pl6.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Preferred Laboratory button is &#039;&#039;&#039;ON&#039;&#039;&#039; then the entries are restricted to those Clients that have the Preferred Laboratory option set the same as the current laboratory (in this case Lane Cove West Laboratory). Refer images below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl7.jpg]] [[Image:pl8.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note the restricted list of entries in the above image when compared to the previous restriction without the Preferred Laboratory restriction.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Overview=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Often times, in the case of large organizations, customers are shared across labs. In such a case, it is advisable to set up all clients as &amp;quot;global&amp;quot; entries. This could lead to the issue of a large (and therefore bulky) list dropdown for all users from all labs. To avoid this problem and to keep the list drop-downs manageable, customers can be &amp;quot;nominated&amp;quot; against labs when they are added to the system. Thus even though all the client entries are global items, when the preferred lab option is set to True, and a sample/WO is being registerd for a particular lab, only those clients that have the selected lab being set/nominated as the preferred lab are shown in the drop downs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently when using a data filter to search for Samples or Documents users need to scroll through a considerably large list (for Client and Project lists in particular) to select the required items. This has been identified as being inconvenient. Existing functionality exists to reduce the length of similar fields based on Preferred Laboratories. It is suggested that this &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; functionality be extended to data filters as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Detailed Requirements==&lt;br /&gt;
Through the new list option management in the Administrator Console, lists are able to be set to include a &#039;preferred lab&#039; column. When using the list through a drop-down list box the user has the option (via a small toggle button on the right of the list) to show the list items which have the current laboratory as their preferred lab in addition to the normal list items. When the preferred laboratory option is not being used there is no visible change to lists. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enabling Preferred Lab Status===&lt;br /&gt;
Enabling preferred lab status for a lab happens through the QLA. A detailed explanation on list configuration/options is available here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[QESTLab:Configuring_Lists_in_QESTLab#Preferred_Laboratory | Setting the Preferred Lab Status]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Using the Preferred Lab Status in QESTLab===&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have ticked the &amp;quot;Preferred Lab&amp;quot; for a particular list, as described in the section above, an additional column called &amp;quot;Preferred Lab&amp;quot; is available for that list. &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;You will not be able to see this column in the &#039;data entry view of this list&#039;. This column is only available in the spreadsheet interface for the list (available by toggling the data entry view present at the top, right hand corner of the list)&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Setting Preferred Laboratory for Data Filters== &lt;br /&gt;
No change will be made to the way the option for &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; is set. The functionality being extended to Data Filters will use the existing option in the QEST Administrator Console which is accessed via QESTLab-&amp;gt;Configuration-&amp;gt;Lists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl2.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the option is set for a particular list then the Preferred Laboratory button will be accessible for that particular list in the data filters section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Preferred Lab===&lt;br /&gt;
The Data Filters section of the QESTLab screen will now include the &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; button for those lists which have the &amp;quot;Preferred Laboratory&amp;quot; option checked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:111.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Preferred Laboratory button is &#039;&#039;&#039;OFF&#039;&#039;&#039; then local and global entries only are displayed. As shown in the images below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl5.jpg]] [[Image:pl6.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Preferred Laboratory button is &#039;&#039;&#039;ON&#039;&#039;&#039; then the entries are restricted to those Clients that have the Preferred Laboratory option set the same as the current laboratory (in this case Lane Cove West Laboratory). Refer images below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:pl7.jpg]] [[Image:pl8.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note the restricted list of entries in the above image when compared to the previous restriction without the Preferred Laboratory restriction.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
