Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance allows for the management of automatic versioning for test groups (that is, specifications). Users can create a new version of an existing test group, and the version number will be automatically assigned by the system.
The test group ID is structured as [Test group name] [Version]:
The Test group name can be either manually entered or automatically assigned. Test group name number sequence can be set up in Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance parameters > Number sequences.
The test group Version is automatically assigned by the system following the Default version format set up in the Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance parameters > Quality management tab.
Example
Test group number sequence: “TG###”
Default version format: “-#”
The test group names are automatically generated as “TG001-1”, “TG002-1”, and so on, with sequential numbering. If a new version of “TG001-1” is created, it is generated as “TG001-2”.
Steps
The New version feature allows authorized users to create a new test group version by performing the following steps:
Go to Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance > Setup > Quality control > Test groups.
Select the existing test group version for which a new version needs to be created.
Click the New version button and modify the test group description if needed.
The generated test group inherits the setup of the original one – including test group lines and specifications – and can be easily updated before being approved and activated.
