After entering lab test results, you have the option to send the test record(s) for rejection. This is an optional workflow that would be used to reject/invalidate a test (for example, in the case of a retest). If used, a task will be sent to a user with the Results Reviewer role.

Send Test for Rejection

To send a test for rejection:

  1. From the associated Spec Execution record, open the Tests section.
