.. _faq-sample-managers-samples-awaiting-another-review: How can I check if sample records are awaiting review by another manager? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. collapse:: Click to view answer .. raw:: html
If samples require more than one sample manager to accept or reject them, the samples will be displayed in the **Pending Samples** tab until **all** sample managers have accepted them. Once all sample managers have accepted the samples, the samples will be displayed in the **Accepted Samples** tab. As shown in the image below, sample records that are awaiting another acceptance will be highlighted **yellow** or **amber** and the date when the records have been accepted will be displayed in the **Approval Date** column in the samples data table. Refer to the **Associated TOL (Tree of life) Project** column to view the associated project(s) that the sample record belongs to. See the image below for an illustration. .. figure:: /assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-awaiting-another-acceptance1.png :alt: Sample record awaiting another acceptance :align: center :target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EarlhamInst/COPO-documentation/main/assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-awaiting-another-acceptance1.png :class: with-shadow with-border **Sample record highlighted in yellow awaiting another acceptance** .. raw:: html

A :abbr:`BGE (Biodiversity Genomics Europe)` sample manager has accepted the sample record, which is reflected in the **Approval Date** column in the data table. The record is highlighted in yellow to indicate that it is still awaiting acceptance from another sample manager. .. raw:: html
.. hint:: * The **Approval Date** column displays the date when the sample record was accepted by the sample manager as well as the associated project that the sample manager belongs to. * The **Associated TOL (Tree of life) Project** column displays the associated project that the sample record belongs to. After the sample record has been accepted by all sample managers, the sample record will be displayed in the **Accepted Samples** tab as shown in the image below. .. figure:: /assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-after-all-accepted1.png :alt: Sample record after all sample managers have accepted it :align: center :target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EarlhamInst/COPO-documentation/main/assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-after-all-accepted1.png :class: with-shadow with-border **Sample record after all sample managers have accepted it** .. raw:: html

The sample managers assigned to both associated project types have approved the sample record and the **Approval Date** column has been updated in the samples data table. .. raw:: html
How can a sample manager check the status of accepted or rejected samples? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. collapse:: Click to view answer .. raw:: html
**Option 1**: Accepted samples can be viewed in the **Accepted Samples** tab while rejected samples can be found in the **Rejected Samples** tab on the **Accept or Reject Samples** page. **Option 2**: The **Status** column in the samples data table will display the status of the sample record. **Option 3**: The **Error** column in the samples data table will display an error message if the sample record has been rejected or if there are any errors associated with the sample record. **Option 4**: The **Status** log will display a chronological list of the status of the sample record as shown in the images below. It is located on the right of the **Accept or Reject Samples** page below the top navigation bar. .. figure:: /assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-status-log-collapsed.png :alt: Sample record status log collapsed :align: center :target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EarlhamInst/COPO-documentation/main/assets/images/samples/accept-reject-samples/ui/samples-accept-reject-status-log-collapsed.png :class: with-shadow with-border :height: 200px **Sample record status log collapsed** .. raw:: html
