Duplicate a Lab Number

Duplicating a lab number creates a copy of the lab information and all open lots and tests. The SPC rule and analytical goal settings are duplicated for all open tests. You can choose if you want to duplicate fixed means and/or fixed SDs.

Note: Duplicating a lab number does not duplicate QC data.

To set up several lab numbers with similar information, create the primary lab number and duplicate the lab number. Edit information for the duplicated lab number as needed.

Note: You cannot duplicate a closed lab number; you must first open it.

1. Log in as a user with the Manage labs/lots/tests permission.
2. Click the Configure tab.
3. Click Lab.
4. Select the lab number to duplicate in the Open labs list.
5. Click Duplicate.
6. Type the new target lab number in the Target lab number field.
7. Select the Duplicate fixed mean check box to duplicate the fixed mean for all open tests.
8. Select the Duplicate fixed SD check box to duplicate the fixed SD for all open tests.
9. Click OK.

   The new lab number appears in the Open labs list.

10. If needed, edit the duplicated lab information. See "Update Lab Number Information" for more information.
