If you need to update a test result for a test that is in the Testing Complete state, you will need to reopen it.

To reopen a test:

  1. Open the Test record you want to reopen and select Reopen Test from the All Actions menu.

  4. Hover your mouse over the result you need to update and click Edit (). Update the result and click Save (). Provide a Change Reason, optionally Change Comments, provide your e-signature and click Complete.

    Note If a sample contains multiple tests, you will only be able to edit results for the test that you reopened, not all results for all tests. If more than one test needs results to be modified, ensure the applicable tests are reopened prior to resuming any tests.
