Viewing Status Messages
The banner displays status messages as reminders for pending tasks. The system always
displays a message for a pending Required QC regardless of other pending tasks.
The system displays a message when maintenance tasks are due and how many are due.
When you perform a maintenance task, the number of tasks on the banner decrements but
the message remains as long as tasks are pending.

expiration date or number of tests available, the system displays the appropriate symbol in
the banner:
