Hello!
ICYMI, here’s a few improvements we’ve made to Confident over the last few releases:
For All Labs
  • We added
    assay abbreviations
    to 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 view
    to prevent errors in editing/deleting the correct sample.
  • Clients can now
    view order attachments
    from a lab on
    Placed
    ,
    In Progress
    , and
    Completed
    orders.
  • Labs can now
    upload order attachments
    on orders in
    Placed
    status.
  • Sample Logs
    now show all ribbon field changes (date tested, digits, digits method, footnote, input units, primary display units and etc).
  • You can now
    filter the List table
    for samples with a test package marked as
    Compliance
    .
  • We now
    hide assays that are not tested
    from the Sample Profile page.
  • In the
    Client’s Module
    , we replaced the
    Remove Client
    action with
    Archive 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 app
    will 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!
Improved For LIMS Labs
  • Labs can now bulk edit the status for the
    General and Weights tabs
    using the sample action menu or from the in-app tables.
  • Signature changes
    now appear in audit logs.
  • Pro/Premium Labs
    can now copy and paste values from tables (i.e. excel) into the
    LIMS Editor.
  • Pro/Premium Labs
    using Importers now see
    archived files
    highlighted in yellow to help prevent erroneous imports.

  • Pro/Premium Labs
    using METRC should see improved and
    more specific error messaging
    , whenever available to us from METRC.
