You can record two sets of test results if needed, in the case of a retest.

To enter retest results:

  1. From the Spec Ex, navigate to the Tests section. Hover your mouse over the test you need to enter retest results for and select Retest from the Actions menu.

Note If there are criteria limits for the test, both tests will be reportable (e.g., on the Certificate of Analysis (CoA)). If both tests should not be reportable, you can invalidate one of the tests through the test rejection workflow.
