After scaling a chromatogram in a report method in Empower, cannot use the report for sign-off - WKB67791
SYMPTOMS
- After scaling a chromatogram in a report method, cannot use the report for sign-off.
- User has "modify report scaling only" privilege and not the save report privilege. You can find the definition of each here - WKB49891.
- After re-scaling the chromatogram, a message occurs: "Allow this method to be used in sign off must be enabled in a report method".
ENVIRONMENT
Empower 3 before SR4
CAUSE
This is operating as intended.
FIX or WORKAROUND
When you modify a report in any way, the sign-off check box to use the report method for sign-off is cleared.
Under the “Allow this method to be used in sign off” box in the method properties, there is a statement: “Note: this value will be cleared whenever a method is modified”. Select this box.
Once you select the box, you must save the report in order to use the method for sign-off.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
New features and enhancements with Empower 3 SR4 and upper version (CRI-629)
Sign Off remains selected after adjusting chromatogram scaling
Previously, in Report Publisher, with a user account that had Modify Scaling Only privilege and not the Save Report Method privilege, when you used a report method that allowed Sign Off, and then adjusted the chromatogram scaling, Empower cleared the Sign Off option.
Now, in the same scenario, Empower leaves the Sign Off box selected and the resulting PDF contains the modified chromatogram scaling.
Reported as CRI-629, PCS 47169, and PCS 54525.
