• Show reviewed and not reviewed
• Show reviewed only
• Show not reviewed only 

Select the checkbox to have the table only display reports that have already been reviewed.

Select to add a new linearity report via the Linearity Report pop-up.

Enter text in to the field to specify the name of the report.

Enter a date into the field to specify the date in which the report needs to be completed. The date appears in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

• Select the calendar icon to enter the date manually.
• Select Now to enter the current date.
• Select Clear to clear the field of all values.

Enter text or select into the field to search for a specific instrument to add to the report. This is a search-as-you-type field. Select the blue link to enter the instrument in to the field. Note that the Instrument field will filter the search results in the Test field, and selecting an instrument will clear the Test field forcing the test to always be related to the selected instrument.

Enter text in or select into the field to search for a specific test to add to the report.

Enter a value into the field to configure the domain (x-axis) on the report graph. The Levels field requires a number greater than one. The Expected value for a level is the x-value for the data point.

Enter a value into the field to configure the range (y-axis) on the report graph. The Runs field requires a number greater than one. The Mean value for a level, determined by averaging the run values, is the y-value for the data point.

Enter a value into the field to specify the reagent lot tracking number for the batch of reagent when it is made by the manufacturer.

Enter a value into the field to specify the reagent lot number expiration date in the format MM/DD/YYYY. The reagents expire at various times either after opening them or after reconstitution. 

• Select the calendar icon to enter the date manually.
• Select Now to enter the current date.
• Select Clear to clear the field of all values.

Configures the domain (x-axis) on the report graph. Level rows are aligned vertically at the top. Row striping is applied (the last row is always darker, per UI standards). This is the level of control used, usually represented by High, Normal, or Low, or 1, 2, 3, etc. Levels are manually assigned by the tech building the controls or calibrators.

Displays the lot tracking number for the batch of reagent, controls, or calibrators when it is made by the manufacturer. This requires a non-empty string. All other columns are numeric data and do not accept non-numeric characters.

Displays the expiration date for the lot number in the format MM/DD/YYYY. The reagents, controls, or calibrators expire at various times either after opening them or after reconstitution. 

• Select the calendar icon to enter the date manually.
• Select Now to enter the current date.
• Select Clear to clear the field of all values.

Displays the allowance variation for the result. The allowed variance is the variability from the allowed mean.

Select an option from the drop-down list to choose an indicator that is assigned to what is being tested to define it as either control or calibrator material being tested. Select either option from the drop-down list:

• %  
• ABS  

Select to display a report graph in a separate pop-up. The linearity report runs regression analytics on the data that is entered. This is a graph that shows visually how well the domain (expected value) predicts the range (mean of the run/observed values).

• Select Print to print the graph.
• Select Close to close out of the pop-up.

Select to mark the report graph as having been reviewed.
