9 Data Review, Reprocessing and Batch Review
Batch Reporting
Batch Reporting
The user-configurable “Batch Table” on page 209, can be printed directly on
the printer, displayed on the screen or printed to a file with a user-specified
prefix in one of the following formats:
• UNICODE text file with the extension .TXT
• Data Interchange Format with the extension .DIF
• Comma-Separated Values format with the extension .CSV
• Microsoft Excel format with the extension .XLS.
The reporting options also give the possibility of sorting the samples (by Run
Index, Sample Type or Method) independent of the sort method in the batch
table. The sort priorities are as for the “Batch Table” on page 209.
Batch History
Batch review maintains a log of all actions relating to the current batch. Any
action that changes the batch (for example changing the displayed
chromatogram, changing the sample type, loading and saving the batch) adds a
line to the batch history with a date and time stamp, the current operator
name and a description of the event.
You can also add your own comments to the batch history. Existing batch
history entries cannot be edited, and the history list cannot be accessed except
through the Batch History menu item.
