How to Obsolete an Existing Method

To prevent unnecessary records from being used in newly logged samples or sampletypes, they must be "obsoleted".  When a method is revised, old version of that method is obsoleted automatically by the system when new record is approved.  This tutorial is for when a method just needs to be obsoleted without a new revision.

Follow "How to Search in Method Manager" tutorial to find applicable method record.

Obsoleting a Method

  1. Press the "X" button in the top menu
  2. Press OK to confirm
  3. Method status updated to "H" (Hold)

Only approved methods can be added to SampleTypes (Bulk/Item), thus making this method change to status "H" will prevent it from being used in future PSampleTypes (Bulk/Item).  However if this method is already used in an active SampleTypes (Bulk/Item), system will not automatically take it out of that code.  This must be done manually by revising the SampleTypes (Bulk/Item) and deleting this method form it.
