EDMS can be used to schedule sampling tasks or a singular or re-occurring bases. These tasks can be displayed on a dashboard showing a list of tasks and a weekly calendar of tasks. Each task can contain one or more stations or samples. Stations are used to locate positions where multiple samples will be taken, normally for reoccurring events.

 

Sampling defaults, required lab analyses, and access rights can be set in the task and then passed down automatically to stations and samples in the task. Access rights can be used to control who can view and edit the task on a personnel or privilege level basis.

 

Notifications

 

Notifications can be sent throughout the work process via email, SMS (text message), or internal notification within the program. To use this feature of the EDMS module, the network version must be installed and the EDMS Service running. These notifications can only be setup in tasks. The following notifications can be sent to selected personnel during the process:

 

Sample required

Sample collected **

Sample not collected (Non-compliant)

Sample shipped to lab **

Sample received by lab *

Lab analysis complete *

Lab analysis received

Parameter exceedence (Non-compliant)

Sample stored by lab *

Sample disposed by lab *

 

* Notifications require the lab to be using the EDMS Lab program. This program is supplied to labs for free by GAEA.

** Notifications require field personnel to be using EDMS Field.

 

Sample Labels

 

Sample labels can be printed or saved to a PDF file. These sample labels can contain barcodes that can be scanned by analysis labs instead of manually entering the sample information.

 

Chain of Custody

 

A Chain of Custody (COC) can be printed or saved to an Excel file. The COC is in a specific formats for each lab.GAEA will be updating these forms as more labs are added. If your lab or their COC format is not listed please contact GAEA to arrange for them to be added.
