Identify Testing Requirements

Using the Calendar View
Understanding Status Colors
The calendar uses color-coding to show delivery status at a glance:- 🟡 Pendiente (Amber) - Awaiting supplier confirmation (may change)
- 🔵 Confirmado (Blue) - Confirmed by supplier (reliable date)
- 🟠 En Revisión (Orange) - Under review (possible issues)
- 🟣 En Tránsito (Purple) - Shipment in transit (arriving soon)
- 🟢 Recibido (Green) - Delivered to warehouse (ready for testing)
- 🔴 Cancelado (Red) - Order cancelled

Reporting Issues
If you notice any problems with calendar data:Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can’t I edit any information? A: Laboratory role has view-only access by design. Contact a coordinator or admin to make changes. Q: How do I request additional information in the comments field? A: Contact the procurement coordinator and ask them to update the requisition with specific testing requirements. Q: What if the calendar shows a delivery but nothing arrives? A: Deliveries can be delayed or rescheduled. Contact the coordinator for current status - they may not have updated the system yet. Q: Can I export the calendar for my own planning? A: Currently, direct export is not available to view-only roles. Contact an admin if you need data exports for reporting.Next Steps
