ZCM - Analyses and Accepting

Each analysis will need to be linked to a sample point and approved before your analysis will be live in production.

You can view the analyses pending approval by either:

  • Clicking 'Fluid Analysis' from the main menu bar and then selecting 'Pending'.
    OR
  • Clicking on the blue button in the secondary function bar. This button will tell you how many analyses are pending approvals .Image 1616

A list of your pending analysis will appear. You can filter through your list of pending analysis by typing in the ‘Filter Results’ box any of the following criteria’s:

  • Product, Well Name, LSD, UWI, Field/Area, Pool/Zone, Source, Sample Gathering Point, Lab Name, Container Id, Lab Number, Sampling Company, Operator Name, Sample Point Name, Sample Point Code, Sample Point Location, or Sample Point UWI.

There are 4 different icons you will encounter on the far right hand side of the ‘Pending’ screen:

  1. No sample point linked - analysis is not associated with a sample point. Image 1619
  2. Pending Approval - analysis passed import and historical trend validation.Image 1620
  3. Historical information – this is historical analysis info sent from the lab. Image 1621
  4. One or more issues were discovered during validation. Image 1622

If the analysis has not been linked to a Sample Point you can do so in the Pending screen by typing in the name of the Sample Point and selecting it from the dropdown menu, your work will be saved automatically.

      Approve or Reject Pending Analysis

      Each pending analysis needs to be approved or rejected. Once you view your analysis in the pending list you can decide to either Accept or Reject it.

      Approve Analysis

      If your analysis meets your criteria click Accept in the Pending Analysis screen.

      1. A pop-up window will open. Insert your comments for your approval.
      2. Choose your Effective Date

      Image 1634

      IMPORTANT: The Effective Date is when the Zedi Composition Management application will write the analysis you approved down to the device. The effective date is defaulted to the start of the next month, if you would like to apply it before or immediately you can just select the calendar and choose the date you would like to have it applied.


      3. Select Approve.

        Image 1636

        IMPORTANT: An analysis that needs to be approved and written to a device must equal a total that falls in between the AGA-8 allowable ranges of 98% - 102% for the device to be successfully updated. If it falls outside this range you can still approve an analysis BUT IT WILL NOT be updated to the device.

                  All analysis that have not been sent into Zedi Access in the time frame specified under the ‘Sample Point’ will show up in the ‘Overdue Analysis’ page.

Here you can snooze each Sample Point for 1 day, 1 week, 1, month or 3 months and it will remove itself off of the list for that time frame. Once a new analysis has come in for that Sample Point it will automatically remove itself from the list.
