From the Samples tab, you can view samples in your Sample Inbox. Clicking on the column headers allows you to easily sort your data to find the sample(s) you are looking for. You can also use the Quick Search fields at the top of ever column.
Option 3:
From the Equipment tab, you can review the sample history of a given component. Simply work your way down the equipment tree to the component level and click on a specific sample result you want to view.

Printing reports is effortless in LOAMS. Once you have selected the report(s) you want in your Sample Inbox, open the PDF by selecting "Print Report(s)." Print or download as needed. If you already have the sample open in the Sample Details Page, click "Download PDF" and print or download as needed.
To print multiple reports at once, simply check the reports you want to print using the check boxes in your Sample Inbox and select "Print Report(s)." The PDF report will generate and open in a separate tab. You can then print or download as needed.
