Create Requests

Once a project is created, the researcher can create a request under the project. In a request, the researcher asks the biobank to process the required specimens as per the selected services associated with the Project. The researcher can create multiple requests in a project. If you add specimens while creating a project, a request would be created along with the project.

...

1. Complete requests: Once all the services of a request are completed, you can click the 'Completed' button to mark it as completed. If any of the services are incomplete, the system will display a message that all services are not complete and prompt you to provide the reason for completing the request deliberately. By default, the current date and time are set as the date and time of completion of the request. However, you can change it by clicking the calendar button.

2. Abort requests: If for any reason it is not possible to complete the request, e.g., contamination of specimens, you can abort the request by clicking the 'Abort' button.

3. Archive requests: In instances where no more specimens are to be added to a request or the request has to be closed, you can archive the request by clicking the 'Archive' button.
