Document Management Link is a function within LIMS for QC for managing many different types of Controlled Documents such as SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures), Safety Documentation, Product Specifications, etc. It is possible to link documents from such applications as Microsoft Office, Lotus WordPro and Adobe Acrobat and also documents that are created and controlled by some of the most common Document Management Systems to Test Codes/Methods, Specifications, Products, Instruments and Standards in LIMS for QC. Once the appropriate link to a document has been created, it is then possible to view a document in such functions as Sample Submission, Results Entry and the Validation/Approval, Maintenance and Inquiry functions in QC LIMS.
