Systems to connect

• Field sample source. Configure the source used to bring sample numbers, field references and collection details into the laboratory. Check identity matching and depth units before importing a larger set of material.
• Instrument or result source. Set up a connection if analyte values come from another system. Map the sample identity, unit and method, and agree how repeated or corrected source entries are handled.
• Method document source. Bring approved procedure material into the controlled document process. Decide how versions and effective dates are maintained before recording staff acknowledgments.
• Evidence source. Configure access to supporting material used during inspection and corrective verification. Confirm that the intended reviewer can inspect the evidence under their normal account.

Name the person responsible for each connection and agree its permitted capture scope. Rehearse a missing sample reference, invalid unit and repeated source identity with the pilot. Check the actual result before retrying an uncertain submission. Keep credentials in the approved connection setup and preserve the source context needed to explain a corrected entry. A connection supplies evidence; the designated reviewer still makes the quality decision.
