Test Management Tool

Designed to enable submitters to easily find tests and determine which tests need updating, the first version of the Test Management Tool was released in December 2022. With future software upgrades to the GTR Submission Portal, this tool will be centralized and its functionality will be expanded.

On the home page for your lab in Submission Portal, go to the section Tests in this lab, and click on 'Manage Tests'. This opens a page which shows the list of tests in the Test management tool. The tool will enable searching for specific terms in a subset of test fields, filtering by test parameters and dates, editing and copying tests, and performing actions such as deleting tests. Above the table is a panel to enable searching and filtering.

Search Tests

Use the search box to enter a term and select the field to search. The list of tests will narrow to those that have the term in the field option selected, and the counts for the tests that have the term will be displayed. The 'Clear all' button will clear the search term from the search box as well as any filters and restore the test count to the original count.

Filter Tests

Use the search box to enter a term and select the field in which to restrict your search. The list of tests will narrow to those within the selected parameters and the counts for the tests that have the term will be displayed. The 'Clear all' button will clear the search term from the search box as well as any filters, and restore the test counts to the original count. Filter the test list by the following test attributes or parameters:

• Test attributes:
  • Human or Microbe
  • Clinical or research
• Status; each test will show one of the following:
  • Processed
  • Processing
  • Error
  • Unfinished
• Date range:
  • Created
  • Updated

Select Tests

Check the box for 'Select all' to select all tests; you can uncheck the box to remove the selection. You can also select individual tests. The selection will be preserved even if the filters are removed. Once you have selected tests, you can proceed to perform an action on the selected tests.

Perform action for selected tests

Currently, the only supported action is 'Delete tests'. Once you have selected tests, click 'Action for selected tests' above the filters table and select 'Delete tests'.

You will get a prompt to confirm that you wish to delete the tests.
