Sample Status Logs

The Sample Status Logs page shows every status change a sample went through: from where, to

where, when and by whom. It is a read-only record — nothing here is entered by hand.

Menu path: Logs → Sample Status Logs.

Columns

Column	Description
Sample	The sample that changed status.
From	The previous status. Empty on a sample's first entry.
To	The new status.
When	The moment of the change.
By	The user who caused it.
Note	The reason, where the transition demands one (rejection, cancellation and so on).

Samples — every row points at one sample.
Sample Statuses — the vocabulary behind the From and To values.
Audit Trail — this log is the third layer of traceability, beside field diffs and database

triggers. It answers "how did it get here", not "what changed".

The page cannot be missing: it is written automatically. The gap you may see is an empty note

on a transition that ought to explain itself. A cancellation with no reason is a valid row and an

unanswered question under audit.

A sample that appears to have skipped statuses usually means a bulk action. The row shows who

performed it.
