QBench Feature Roundup - Mid August

This will be the first (of many) feature roundups that we'll be covering on our blog. We released several new features last night. The full release notes are listed below followed by some in depth discussion on a few select topics.

What's New:

• Custom statuses for tests. Can be managed in the Field and Data Type Settings page
• Assay conditions can now be associated with multiple assays
• Nestable filter groups to help organize all of your filters
• New fields for equipment: Model Number, In Use Date, State, and Location
• New option for schedules: Disposal (a one-time use schedule)

Bug Fixes:

• Test results filter in the test list page now saves the filter correctly when you click save

As always, if you have any questions please get in touch, we will be happy to help.
