Color coding by Specimen Status

Introduction

Earlier, to find the specimen’s availability status, you had to search multiple fields, like collection status, container position, quantity, etc. It was cumbersome and error-prone.

From v8.1, a new field, ‘specimen availability,' has been introduced. This field is automatically calculated and can be used to filter queries. You can now view specimens based on their availability status, e.g., pending, collected, available, distributed, etc., on the specimen list view and overview pages.

The default workflow comes with the specimen status field configured across the system. 

If a CP has JSON workflow configured, the colour coding must be configured within the CP workflow.

OpenSpecimen displays the colour code for specimens based on their status as follows

 

  • Below table indicates the colour and status
