The Sample Accession page is used to collect and modify additional information about the Sample prior to Approval, and to conduct the Approval itself. This page is accessed by clicking the "Accession Samples " button on any of these Sample List pages:

Allocated Samples
Data Entry Samples
Lab Operations Samples and Child Samples
Admin Samples
Accessioning Pane of the Receive and Accession Samples Task

In any of the Sample List pages, select one or more Samples, then click "Accession Samples". The Sample Accession page displays:

When multiple Samples are selected, clicking the Sample Id hyperlink (or the word "Sample" when only one Sample is selected) opens the View Sample page for that Sample.

NOTE: Depending on the type of Study (Protocol or Non-Protocol) different fields display during Accessioning. When selecting multiple Samples all must be within the same type of Study.

Accessioning Data Entry Operations

Top ../../images/arwup.gif (846 bytes)

These are the buttons at the top of the Accessioning Data Entry pages (see the Receive and Accession Samples Task for a list of operations available within the task):

Operation Description Visible on these pages...
Create Subjects This option appears only while performing accession data entry on Non-Protocol study samples. This button facilitates automatic population of data entry fields.

Suppose no matching Subjects are found in the BioBanking system for the selected Samples. In this case, "Create Subject" creates Subjects for the selected Samples if all of the Subjects share the same attributes.

A Subject form appears after clicking the button:

After populating the fields in this form, clicking "Save & Assign" creates one new Subject for each selected Sample. The Subject form closes, and the Accessioning Data Entry Grid refreshes with the newly created Subjects shown in the grid.

Accessioning Data Entry Grid
Approve Changes Sample status to "In Circulation" after the system verifies that all information entered for the Sample has met the approval requirements defined in the Study.

For both "Conditional Approve" and "Approve", if all required information has been entered for the Samples, the storage status changes to "In Circulation".

If validation fails, a page appears with specific violations found:

Conditional Approve Approves Samples (putting them into circulation) for the user with the Conditional Approval flag set, thereby allowing full approval (see "Approve") when all required information has been supplied. Accessioning Data Entry Grid

Request Verification Sets Sample status to "Verification Needed". Accessioning Data Entry Grid
