Deactivating Setup Items
Transactional objects, such as Analysis Requests and Batches, can be cancelled, and they are moved to the background as Cancelled, maintaining their primary workflow states, from where they too can be woken up again if needed. Or on the object itself |
For traceability and database integrity, no data in the LIMS can be deleted. Where it becomes necessary, Setup items can be deactivated, transitioning to the state Dormant and off lookup and other lists. These can be reactivated again if necessary.
