Queue Milestone

When running samples through a step, the first screen that displays is the Queue screen. This screen provides a sample table to select samples to be placed into the Ice Bucket, reserving them for use.

The following components of the Queue Sample table are configurable on the Queue Settings form:

• The Sample table column headers
• The Sample table expanded view fields
• Default grouping and well sort order of Sample table

On the Queue Settings form, configure the column headers that display in the Sample table, and the order in which they display.

Note the following:

• No default column headers are configured at the master step level.
• When configuring column headers on a new step, several default column headers will display. You can remove these, but the table must have at least one field remaining (this may be set on either the master step or the step).
1. On the Queue Settings form, in the Sample Table section, select Add.
2. At the right of the screen, a list of fields displays, grouped by Measurement, Derived Sample, Submitted Sample, Container, and Project.

These are the groups of custom fields configured on the Custom Fields > Global Fields configuration screen.

3. Select the arrows to expand the groupings and view the fields within each group.
4. Select one or more fields, and then select the checkmark to add them to the Sample Table area. Select fields individually, Shift + select to select multiple adjacent fields, or Ctrl + select to select multiple nonadjacent fields.

As you add column headers, you may notice that the display changes from a horizontal to a vertical layout. This is an indication that you have exceeded the recommended optimum width of the table. You may want to consider removing some fields.

5. Save your changes

While there is no limit to the number of column headers that can be added to the Sample table, we recommend a maximum of six columns. As more columns are added, each becomes narrower and this can make the heading text difficult to read.

1. Select the X button that displays beneath (or next to, if fields are listed vertically) the column header you want to remove.
2. Save your changes.
1. Select a column header and then drag it into its new position.
2. Save your changes.

To drag and drop on a mobile or touch-screen device, touch and hold the item you wish to drag. After a moment, the item will appear to lift off the page and its color will change to white. You can then drag the item and drop it into its new position.

Expanded view fields are hidden by default in the Sample table. These fields contain additional details about the samples in the queue. At run time, choose to display these details by clicking the Show/Hide Details button.

On the Queue Settings form, in the Expanded View Fields section, you can select additional fields to add to the body of the Sample table.

Note the following:

• No default expanded view fields are configured at the master step or the step level.
• If expanded view fields are configured at the master step level, they display as locked at the step level and cannot be removed. You can modify the order in which the locked fields display.
• Expanded view fields are available for display in multiple milestone screens. The configuration options set in each milestone are specific to that milestone. You may choose to configure the expanded view fields differently in other milestones.
1. In the Expanded View Fields section, select Add.
2. At the right of the screen, a list of fields displays. These are the groups of custom fields configured on the Custom Fields > Global Fields configuration screen. Any fields already included in the Expanded View Fields list do not display in the list.
3. Select the arrows to expand the groupings and view the fields within each group.
4. Select one or more fields, and then select the checkmark to add them to the Expanded View Fields list. Select fields individually, Shift + select to select multiple adjacent fields, or Ctrl + select to select multiple nonadjacent fields.
5. Save your changes.
1. Select the X that displays next to the field you want to remove.
2. Save your changes.
1. Select a field and then drag it into its new position.
2. Save your changes.

On the Queue screen, samples are grouped by Container and sorted by well Row by default.

On the Queue Settings form, in the Defaults section, you can modify these settings if necessary.

1. In the Sample Grouping drop-down list, select your preferred default sample grouping option.
2. You can choose to group by:
• The project (in which samples belong.
• The container (in which the samples are currently located).
• The submitted sample (from which the samples originated).
• The previous step (the samples have undertaken).
3. Save your changes.
1. Select the Well Sort Order toggle switch to set the default well sort ordering to Column (A1, B1, C1, and so on) or Row.
2. Save your changes.
