Reassign Tests Module

The Reassign Tests module allows the user to move a test (and its result) from one sample to another sample. This has no effect on the sample hierarchy, unlike Reparent Samples, nor does it affect the sample Label_ID.

User Account Privileges

The privileges for the Reassign Tests function are defined by analysis code. A user may be given analysis code = ALL, in which case their account can operate on all analyses (typically restricted to the technical staff). Alternatively, the user may be given privilege for specific analysis codes only (e.g., GRA, MS, and PWAVE_L for someone working with the WRMSL).

Procedure

1.  

Perform a search as described in “Search Functions.” This query returns only active tests.

2.  

Select one or more tests to be reassigned.

3.  

Enter, scan, or paste a valid TEXT_ID into the “TEXT_ID of New Parent” field.

4.  

Click “Validate New Parent.” This returns an error if the TEXT_ID is invalid. It returns the LABEL_ID (the human-readable label) of the new parent if is it valid.

 

IMPORTANT: Check that the LABEL_ID of the new parent is correct before continuing!

 

A new parent can be invalid if the TEXT_ID was improperly entered or if the new parent is canceled. It must be an active sample.

5.  

Click the “REASSIGN Selected Tests” button.

6.  

A pop-up audit trail window (see Fig. 13) appears, prompting the user for a reason taking this action. Enter a reason (5–150 characters).

7.  

Click “Save Reason and continue.” Note that the “NO CHANGE and return” button returns the user to the previous state and no database action occurs.

8.  

Once “Save Reason and continue” is clicked, the operation is performed and the query is run again; the selected tests may or may not show in the query results depending on the query.

Important notes about Reassign Tests

Specify the “TEXT_ID of New Parent” field as shown in Figure 16 (circled) only after performing the search query; clicking in the search parameter area clears the new parent automatically.
