Hello!
ICYMI, here’s a few improvements we’ve made to Confident over the last few releases:
For All Labs
- We added assay abbreviationsto the intake form on all test packages. Hovering on the abbreviation will show the full assay name:
- We now show Sample IDs in the Edit Order viewto prevent errors in editing/deleting the correct sample.
- Clients can now view order attachmentsfrom a lab onPlaced,In Progress, andCompletedorders.
- Labs can now upload order attachmentson orders inPlacedstatus.

- You can now filter the List tablefor samples with a test package marked asCompliance.
- We now hide assays that are not testedfrom the Sample Profile page.
- In the Client’s Module, we replaced theRemove Clientaction withArchive Client. Labs can use this to hide clients you no longer do business with. To take this action, Navigate to Clients → Edit Client → Archive Client. Use the "Archived" checkbox filter to view historical data or unarchive when needed.
- Dates across the appwill now follow this format:MM/DD/yyyy hh:mm a-> ie:01/05/2025 09:42 am. This will also make it easier for you to copy & paste or download to a CSV!

- Signature changesnow appear in audit logs.
- Pro/Premium Labscan now copy and paste values from tables (i.e. excel) into theLIMS Editor.

Early August 2025 Release Notes
Happy Wednesday! Here are a few updates we’ve made to Confident recently:
Improved
Updated Pass/Fail Reporting Logic:
LIMS Labs can now configure reports to Pass/Fail on < values (as opposed to just ≤ values). This will allow labs to, for example, fail a result if it is equal to the limit. Historical Data Trends for Totals:
LIMS Labs can now see historical trend data for Total THC, Total CBD, and Total Cannabinoids on the Sample LIMS page.
Metrc & Biotrack Sample IDs
now appear in Sample Logs.New Production Method Option:
We have added Propane/Butane as a production method under Concentrates.Have a great day!
Hi All!
We released a number of updates that we think will significantly improve your experience in Confident. Take a look!
Improved
- Updated Clients Tab- We’ve improved navigation in the Clients tab, making it easier to flip through your clients and place orders! You’ll also notice that client names are now hyperlinked throughout the app. Clicking one will take you straight to the client's detail page. From this page, you can see a unique Client ID, search through orders & update paid statuses. This updated layout is also more scalable, paving the way for future enhancements!
- Searchable Logs- The Order & Sample Logs are now more scannable & searchable.
- Array Importer Updates- We've updated the Array Importer to function similarly to file uploads. Now, upon importing, we will apply the data in real-time.
- Due Dates on Orders Table- Labs can now view and update due dates from the Orders Table.
- Compliance Tags on Order Form- We now clearly indicate which test packages are for Compliance on the Order form and allow you or your clients to search through the list easily when placing orders.
Fixed
- Barcode Scanning in Filters: When using a barcode scanner to add multiple sample IDs into the sample filter, the second scan-in would override the first. The sample filter has been fixed to now support multiple barcode “scan ins” of sample IDs.
Have a nice day!
