Overview
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 "Preferred Laboratory" functionality be extended to data filters as well.
Detailed Requirements
Preferred Laboratory: Data Filters
No change will be made to the way the option for "Preferred Laboratory" is set. The functionality being extended to Data Filters will use the existing option in the QEST Administrator Console which is accessed via QESTLab->Configuration->Lists
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.
Functional Specification
Preferred Lab
The Data Filters section of the QESTLab screen will now include the "Preferred Laboratory" button for those lists which have the "Preferred Laboratory" option checked.
When the Preferred Laboratory button is OFF then local and global entries only are displayed. As shown in the images below.
When the Preferred Laboratory button is ON 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.
Note the restricted list of entries in the above image when compared to the previous restriction without the Preferred Laboratory restriction.
Configuration
Operation
Assumptions and Additional Constraints
None.
