Query for anticipated visits/specimens

The anticipated visits/specimens query is designed for planned participant centric studies. This query will not work for any specimen centric protocol since there are no events or specimen requirements configured on the basis of which the query works.

Based on collection protocol time points, it is now possible to query for anticipated visits and specimens for planned collections. For example, query for expected specimens for participants of a protocol in next week. OpenSpecimen ships a default job and query for anticipated visits and specimens which set to run on demand. The job can be run for the desired CPs since all CPs may not be planned.

Select the required columns under the node Participant -> Anticipated Specimens in the columns view
Query results will then display the list of anticipated visits and pending primary specimens to be collected from patients in the next 3.5 months

Disable the wide rows option from columns configuration, this will ensure the anticipated visits and specimens are not displayed in one row for each participant on the results view.
